George Koch and Jim Mason write, "The Clarity Act was never designed to provide a workable path to provincial independence, it was designed to prevent one. And therein lies the danger."
Very well argued. Lack of trust, particularly in the process of secession, will precipitate growing distrust. It's the distrust that's dangerous. For if there is no legal pathway to the stated outcome, the likelihood is that extremist voices will move to the fore of the conversation.
May that ridiculous act backfire on carny Carney big time.
If recent events appear to be an indicator and even though Comrade Carney was not PM when this stupid act was implemented pretty much everything this fraud has touched so far has backfired or has the potential of backfiring.
Why all the confusion. If a province votes to separate the federal govt should negotiate various issues to make it happen. Anything else is disingenuous. When the feds interfered with the 1995 referendum they did so to retain power in Ottawa because if Quebec seceded , the federal voter base would shift away from central Canada. In reality Canada would have been better if Quebec had left.
I would pay Quebec to leave. They bring nothing to the table. Their country is slang french that even true french people find hard to understand. They demand money, will not develop their resources so that they can get free money from the “equalization” payments annually. They do not welcome English speaking people. I have met many Quebecois. They are very impolite. They say they want to learn English but will speak French while standing in a group of French and English people.
I think if Alberta wants Sovereignty then Alberta should decide the parameters that Alberta wants to make and then present their plan to Ottawa and proceed ... Let Ottawa reply if they like but they have no business directing the process or deciding on the rules .... that's the whole idea of Sovereignty
This just highlights the prejudice of Ottawa. In a democracy the people decide what they want. If they want to leave an abusive relationship then so be it. America did not ask Britain for its independence. They took it. That may very well be what needs to happen here. If Alberta decides clearly that it is done and wants out, they may be able to force the situation by gaining outside support. Carney clearly considers himself a dictator and that can't be allowed to stand. Freedom is worth sacrificing for.
I think, when the smoke clears whether it's on Oct. 20th of this year or after the next (inevitable) sovereignty movement or the one after that, at the end of the day it is ineluctable that Alberta is going to have to issue a Unilateral Declaration of Independence. I would suggest that we just save a whole bunch of time and bother and just do that right now.

Just one thought on this one.

Canada, to our betterment would have been a very different country if Quebec had gone .
