So the Alberta separatists are looking to the Trump government for a FIVE HUNDRED BILLION line of credit to finance their “independent” micro state. That’s all you need to know to get a glimpse of these peoples’ grasp on reality. “Five hundred billion” and “line of credit” and “independent “ are not terms which can co exist in any imaginable universe even before the phrase “Trump administration” gets thrown into the mix. Someone should really introduce concepts like:”Collateral” and “foreclosure” and “first born child”to the fantasists behind the independence referendum. It would be a simple act of human kindness.

One can try to be compassionate, and forgive them their follies. But, really, they’ve barely progressed beyond honking their freedom horns and flying flags for their kinky Trudeau fetish.
Imagine them trying to understand the share of the federal debt they will inherit, and the loss of federal services that will have to he replaced by people who can’t even manage what’s already on their plate, like education and healthcare. Imagine the time it will take to negotiate passport and tax treaties with other countries – no travelling or working outside Alberta until then. Imagine the corruption as they curry favour trying to sell (or give away, like coal) our resources to foreign corporations. Unless, that is, the plan is to become Trump’s 51st state? And they get offended when someone suggests Albertans will be left far poorer after separation and that this quest is fundamentally treasonous … imagine.
Great comments. They aren’t smart enough to understand that. They don’t even know what a passport is, that’s how stupid they are.
It’s not bad enough that Alberta is already in financial ruin with a $90 billion debt , and a $260 billion oil well cleanup mess, along with a $30 billion deficit now they want to another $500 billion debt. How stupid are these idiots?
