At least with the Quebec separation, I could find some flimsy grounds for it but wexit is simply "we don't like the way the rest of the country voted so gently caress you."

What more could the liberals actually lose if they scrapped Trans Canada in terms of support. Everyone pro pipeline already voted against them.

just another posted:It might not help but I expect that would depress turnout more often than it would flip votes. Fair enough, that matters too. I just don't believe there are many "I'd be voting Conservative but for Climate Change" people out there. That's half the support for the green party in BC Mays riding was a conservative one. It's a way bigger number of people than you'd think

Wexit is hilarious cause half the territory of both provinces would end up staying in Canada because of the treaties, or at best be tied up in court for 40 years and then Jason Kenney would at least be dead in an open crypt outside the saddledome.

This is what people from Alberta think, pulled from a calgary forumsome person posted:Perhaps, the only way to counterbalance Eastern dominance on Canadian politics is through amalgamation of provinces. Amalgamate with Saskatchewan, NWT and Yukon. Isolate BC from access to the rest of Canada. Then either get a fair treatment or separate. You can't have a rational debate or conversation with that lmao

Anyone have any insight as to why the Cons in non-Anglo suburban/exurban Montreal get about as many votes as the Marxist-Leninist party, and the Cons in suburban/exurban Quebec City win in landslides? I have family in both areas, and their communities, lives, and views seem identical to me.

cowofwar posted:What’s up with Nenshi whining about someone else needing to diversify Alberta’s economy? That’s like your own job bud. Plus all of their research institutions are already funded by federal tri-council grants. They say they want a diversified economy but if that was so they would’ve built upgraders and refineries or got in to any of the alternative energy generation fields. I mean he can and has tried but he's just mayor up against the UCP cutting his budget and having to placate a not-small portion of fuckward white F150 drivers (because they keep voting in dipshit city councilors who have about as much voting power as Nenshi himself does)

Well that sure was an election we just had. Congrats to bunnyofdoom, Nine of Eight and Risky Bisquick and Development. prom candy, your wife can rest easy knowing today is not the day you buy an F-150. A special shout out to stickarts for getting his very specific triple toxx correct. One last piece of unfinished business remains however, the question of how to interpret this little gem: just another posted:Yeah, sure.  In celebration of our wonderful free and fair elections I've decided to let the people decide if this toxx succeeded or failed. So between now and the end of the next page I welcome anyone who feels like it to vote on whether just another here failed or passed his toxx clause and I shall merely enact the will of the people.

Okay, I hate to be the gambling stickler but I'm not seeing how the third part was correct. quote:Maxime Bernier will also lose his seat because Rhino Party Maxime Bernier took a number of votes greater than the difference PPC Bernier lost by. Leader: 22,817 votes PPC Bernier: 16,772 votes Rhino Bernier: 1,072 votes Rhino Bernier got 1,072 votes which is not greater than the number of votes PPC Bernier lost by (6,045 votes)

The next federal election will be before the next Ontario election. Which means the federal Tories are going to have to suggest Ford go into hiding again, but by then he'll probably have presided over a teachers' strike and a college strike. Maybe more than that, depending on how hard he decides to piss people off. Do it ironically posted:I can assure you more than one person thinks this and that "#wexit" has a more than a non-significant following The whole Brexit idea and process has been poisoned by the fact that the Tories in Britain refuse to understand that they can't just dictate terms to those silly continentals/Irish/whomever. Wexit would feature a bloc with even less relative power and apparently more hubris. British Columbia isn't going to be held hostage any more than Ireland.
