Wexit

Flashy video but what % of BC residents really want to separate 10-15%? What about the big population lower mainland and Vanc. Island? BC's got an NDP Government FFS. You guys all blame Trudeau for lack of western oil movement but it's the Horgan Government elected by the people of BC that's fighting TransMountain every step of the way.

I spend a couple weeks in the Cariboo each summer I'd say 90% of the people I drink with out there are ready to separate and 100% of the German tourists are adamantly against Angel Merkel.

Maybe worth a study of people and how they'll vote related to alcohol consumption lol? Seriously though your drinking buddies can't be representative of the electorate. Although the PC candidate saw a surge in support from 35 to 45% of the vote this time around there was still 53% that voted Liberal, NDP or Green. As for the Germans - Angela Merkal has been Chancellor since 2005 and plans to retire in 2021 - easily the longest reining, currently sitting political leader in Europe. The people you are drinking with are not representative of the national population in either country.

So B.C. and Quebec don't want pipelines.... and Alta. and Sask. don't want a carbon tax. They don't get a pipeline but we get a carbon tax.... hmmmm?

In polls the majority in B.C. support pipelines, just not the crackpot for a premier they have.

PM hypocritically does support pipelines bringing fossil fuels for Vancouver residents to keep their addiction of home heating and automobile transportation going.
He does NOT support pipelines to the coast that will help the GDP of the country grow, because balancing a budget would be terrible.

Then why did they elect an anti-pipeline NDP Government?

So who was the genius that came up with the name "Wexit"?

Surely the originator deserves to the first King of Redneckia?

I like your name much better, has a certain ring to it. Thanks for contributing, are you looking for a full time gig? Because I think they could use a good PR/marketing person such as you.

It’s not just Trudeau who suffers from “ Western Disdainitis”. That’s the really sad part of this saga.

When prices spike as in oil and lentils, the rest of the world doesn’t like it very much and react. That’s what I was told by a Saskie university prof who teaches economics down south now. He says we did it to ourselves. Gotta digest this theory. 🤢

You would likely be more qualified to tell us why someone would willingly vote for a socialist government.

Perhaps the high lead content in drinking water explains the reelection of Trudeau.

Just a bunch of sore loser Reformers and Wild Rose ex-members trying to create a new extreme Right wing party. When the camera man scanned the audience of those attending the first Wexit party meeting all you saw was a bunch of 60 year old plus people in the crowd. It looked like a geriatric ward.

Every time Righties don't get their way in the polls they start a new party. That's why Danielle Smith is doing the most yapping.

For those of you thinking Manitoba is going to join this gong show, only 11% want to separate from Canada so you can stop dreaming about using Churchill as a port.

Forage where were you when Pierre Trudeau implemented The national energy policy? That stunt kicked the shit out of a lot of Albertans.

Okay GF and FF if this is a STUPID REDNECK/geriatric idea, what is the solution to change the west's intolerable abuse by the east? Give us your profound LEFTIE thoughts.

Take Churchill and shove it. We won't need it. Or be able to use it anymore than you are.
I'm sure it won't cost a hell of a lot more to use Seattle, the Columbia, or the Mississippi.

Mississippi would be the best place to go....rail to the headwaters....and start pushing grain to the system in the states bypass 9 canadian terminals on the trip....just to say phuck you to canadian companies that don't want to do anything but take every last nickel they can....

Lowest wheat seedings in 110 years ...there will be a need....

Scheer/Conservatives have TURDO by the B*LLS or whatever he has, Pipeline and repeal Bill C69, or kill pipeline with NDP/Greens. What will he go for?

Kindly show your math.

"Give us your profound LEFTIE thoughts. "

I would firstly suggest the CPC pick a leader with a personality, not just one that suits the anti-abortion, anti gay marriage, evangelical nut bars who are still controlling their party.

Scheer, 2.0 couldn't even beat Trudeau, with all the baggage he was carrying. What does that tell the CPC party talking heads?

I'm sure all the geriatric ward attendants at the first Wexit party meeting fit in one of those three categories, as extreme Righties always do.

Your response about Churchill is just another example of why this whole Wexit sore loser idea will go no where. It's that extreme Rightie attitude the that turns so many other Canadians off, including 89% of Manitobans. Were you at that Wexit meeting?
