What happens to land prices during western separation(or not)?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Farmers and Agriculture are becoming even less meaningless then the west is to central Canada. All of the land of Canada is owned by Queen Elizabeth. You own nothing. The Canadian Act has no provision for any Canadian to own physical land in Canada. You only own an interest in an estate, so go ahead and surmise what your value is in that. 9.7% of Canada is privately owned, while the rest is Crown land. The Queen is the head of the state.

Alberta5, where is your Agricultural War Room? The Sky Palace?

I get the impression we aren't even discussing the same issue.

I'm concerned about how the fallout of a separation movement, regardless of outcome will affect our largest investment. Will we be collateral damage, or can we benefit from it?

Acres don't vote though, people do. Even if 90% of the land area is inhabited by people who want to separate but the other 10% contains 80% of the population and the vote you'll never get a majority in favour. That's the situation.

You assume that people don't have a breaking point? You assume that people will continue to respect the rule of law and the democratic process even after accepting that they are clearly not designed in their favour, especially after destroying their livelihoods? Or that the Americans will not reach a breaking point where they will no longer tolerate a country on their northern border openly mocking their values and institutions, welcoming known terrorists, cosying up to, and trading with their enemies, creeping ever closer to socialism/communism? And you think the ROC has any means to stop either movement?

I never thought a flunky drama teacher would lead Canada to !

And it is laughable how many posts there are about how bad it is in Canada. If this is bad, you guys need to read about or visit some developing countries and see what bad really is.

Typical socialist attitude. We aren't as bad as Burkina Faso yet, so we just need some more socialism until you can get us all drug down to their level. Never aspire to improve, or be better, always about the equal distribution of poverty. And when you succeed in ruining our prosperity and our GDP equals Burkina Faso, who is going to be able to send aid to Burkina Faso?

Exactly. How many of the folks so certain that the status quo will exist indefinitely saw that we would be led by an incompetent puppet as of 2019, or the US by a mentally unstable reality TV star, or Brexit, or the break up of the Soviet Union, or that our tax dollars would go to fight increased plant food, or the associated yield benefits that losing war has resulted in worldwide, or that the US would be energy self sufficient, or saw the commodity boom and bust coming, and prepared for them, or saw the rise and fall of the tech bubble, or crypto currencies and positioned themselves accordingly?

I think the breaking point is pretty much here, lately I’ve noticed when we’re asked to take off our hats and sing oh Canada it’s really lacking enthusiasm, a few people seem to mumble a few of the words but nobody’s singing with any pride. I think the lack of energy speaks volumes.

It definitely is getting to that point, and ramming through the two anti-western industry bills this week just accelerated the process.

Well when Lorne Calvert was claiming Saskatchewan was the best place to live,the leader of North Korea was claiming the same thing about his country. I guess it's just a matter of perspective.

And that's been my experience in this country - particularly Alberta. Through BSE and a lot of the oil field crap - most farm families would suck it up, as quiet as church mice, lose their livelihoods and homes before they would dare speak up in public, let alone protest in public. When you can turn out 250,000 to a western separatist rally people might take it seriously. That's the kind of demonstration of desire for change that would be needed but I predict that day will never come.

Its the Agriville doom and gloom club on here. Mostly political hot air.

Once Scheer is elected all the problems will magically disappear and oil and agriculture will return to their mighty position as the only real wealth creators in the country! Everybody else is a lazy socialist! LOL

I don't know why most of you naysayers and dooms dayers get out of bed and plant a crop or feed the cows. Why bother?
