How much of that is the resource extraction propaganda machine convincing people that $100/bbl oil was here to stay and how much of it was the Harper government telling those same people to spend spend spend the economy back into shape? e: vvv If my brother's friend living out in Fort Mac is to be believed, people have actually tried this.

Can't you just drill some oil out of your yard in Alberta and then take it to the bank to pay off your mortgage.

hypocritical or incoherent stances regarding aboriginal and indigenous autonomy in a fictional alberta that's seperated from canada... they'd still needs guns and an army to make that happen, which alberta does not have, so it's a moot point.

I wish I knew enough about oil and mineral rights on property ownership to write serious answer to this post, but I don't. I do know I looked at buying a residential property once somewhere near the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border that had oil/mineral rights that had its own royalty income from oil drilling.

infernal machines posted:How does say, Louisiana feel about that? Louisiana had most of its french stamped out through programs implemented in the 40s and 50s, and contributed to french Quebecois' concern about their own language being eliminated. Much like in Quebec, before Cajun culture and language was stamped out, the main divide within Louisiana politics was religion. Dreylad fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Oct 29, 2019 |

infernal machines posted:I did not know that. Me neither and it's pretty interesting. I met a guy this weekend who asked me, 'are you a franco?' I explained I was not, but I was educated in Quebec in french. I asked him the same question and he told me, 'no, I'm Acadian from New Brunswick' It feels like that's the first time I've had someone differentiate the two, at least in a casual party setting. Can't we all just make fun of the tête carrés together?

Depending on where you are in the country "Franco" definitely means something other than "Acadien". My rough sense is that in Québec it means francophone, but "Franco" west of Québec means Franco-ontarien/manitobain/fransaskois/albertain, which excludes acadien?

while it's probably a super-important and nuanced term that totally seperates them from the other off-brand white people, self-identifying as a 'franco' would only lead me to believe they were a fascist.

Deconstructing whiteness is going to result in a lot more self-identifying by "off-brand white" people and I don't know what to expect from that.

As a British Columbian, Franco definitely means "from Quebec" here and I'd be willing to bet a decent chunk of the population don't understand what Acadiens are and how they're different. I say this as a Francophone with a French (from France) mother.

What Quebec is thinking of the conservatives, a three part story. 1.“Marie Kondo reminds Canada what’s left to be done”  2. I don’t think you need a translation  3. “Albertan finance minister struggles to hide erection while announcing new austerity budget”  “New study finds sharing economy consists of shareholders sharing value of work of others”  “Bedbugs in another federal building just means bureaucrats won’t be sleeping on the job”
