    Western Separation?

    With the recent protests of the Wet’suwet’en, Mohawks and various other First Nations across Canada, Western separation (Ab and mildly SK) has been very quiet as of late.

    Addressing First Nations would be one the many major hurdles Western separation would encounter. The so called economic windfall of the newly formed independent ( country, territory) would be land locked with blockades set up on every pipeline, railway, highway etc etc.

    Even the posters on Agriville who were starting Western Separation threads everyday have backed off, and have reverted to endlessly debating Climate change.

    Eyes are wide open now!

    I think we let the natives take their land back from the eastern elites and cut a new deal with the new western canadian country....

    The elites are behind this mess Trudeau has created....

      So what are they going to do Forage?

      Pull up the tracks and not haul anything?

      About all the unit trains of commodities originate from Sask and Alberta.

      Maybe we wouldn't get so much left wing journalism and special interest groups wouldn't run the country.

          The natives want no law....asking the RCMP to leave should be a non starter...

          And why are we making special provisions for indigenous people to join the forces?

            I’m willing to bet a better deal for most natives can be worked out forage. We do pay a lot of taxes in the west, separation, if it comes to that, will just remove one level of government from skimming off a good portion of it. Are you going to please 100 percent, absolutely not. Secondly, wexit has gone silent because people keep hijacking the posts, but petition drives are out there and collecting lots of signatures. Even you lefties are signing up.

              I think you are right that the a new country in Western country could cut a better deal with the indigenous people than having some trust fund kid globetrotting his platitudes all over....

                As long as we have spineless leadership.
                The Indian Act will never be torn up.
                Lands will never be titled. Agreements never made. I believe one tribe has succeeded in this.
                On the spineless leadership note.
                The provinces will never be equal either. The budget will never matter.

                      I actually thought the separation thing was flairing up again...heard yesterday people are travelling around in Sask getting signatures in support of it.

                        The answer lies in observing how the Americans deal with this issue ( mostly a non-issue there). The last time there were problems with natives blocking a pipeline in North Dakota.

                        police launched an attack on the protesters with water cannons in 28 °F (−2 °C) weather, along with teargas, rubber bullets, and concussion grenades, injuring hundreds.[92] The police said the protesters had been "very aggressive" and that the water was used to put out multiple fires they had set
                        Arrests were made, Federal and State charges were laid. And the pipeline was built.

                        After separation and statehood, we can get on with business. The Americans are likely paying them to block our pipelines anyways, so much of this illegal activity will stop once the money stops flowing anyways.

                          Forage has a point. The treaties were signed with the Dominion of Canada. If that dominion no longer exists due to seperation, then all bets are off.

                          In the entire country natives are 4.9% of the population but in Ab they are 8% and Sask more than 12%. They have a lot more clout here but we also have the signed treaties.

                          We would have to negotiate full economic integration with the bands here to make something like that fly. We sure as hell don't want to carry the Indian Act on. From what I have seen in the past while, our native population is much more integrated and economically linked with us here on the prairies than the rest of Canada. Most if not all bands have been involved in successful business deals with local govt and companies.

                          Forage forgets one thing, the majority of Sk, Ab, Mb GDP comes from trade with the US. So long as we have an open border with them, that's all we need.

                            It is amusing. Now that Chuck is playing to an audience of one, with everyone else either having him on ignore, or just no longer satisfying him with a response, the rest of the gang of CWB cronies have come back out of the woodwork to fill in the gap. And a couple are well on their way to ending up in the same state of having no audience.

                              Furrow that is funny, I was just pointing out the facts but some poster's feel we should all line up like sheep on every topic. Some poster's take themselves way to serious, it's a F'n chat line.


                              Did I sent you a picture of me in last years Xmas card?
