C'mon, Keith. *How* did Norway turn its oil reserves into "extraordinary national wealth"? *Public ownership of oil companies *78 per cent profit tax on oil companies *25 per cent sales tax economy-wide so the oil revenues could be saved These are not serious people. #abpoli

A referendum with loaded questions. AB gov't ads telling us how to vote. Putting the country itself on the ballot. As Albertans, we decide if we're okay with this. I see a broken process—and Canada being used as a bargaining chip. I voted to stay in Canada. And no to the nine.

These traitorous goofs offered up our FRESH WATER????? Full exposé on these idiot Alberta separatists here: archive.is/rhGUj
Excerpt from the Globe article reads: “A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.
The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province's resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.
Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta's pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.”

Make Alberta America again? The fantastic Globe crew unearths even deeper ties between Alberta separatists and Republican officials, including a pledge to give the U.S. some of our resources in exchange for backing sovereignty www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The elephant in the room
Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

Separatists constantly suggest Alberta has a unique "cowboy", "toil the land", & "rural" culture. Reality: - AB as urban (80% +) & diverse as rest of Canada - AB ag industry = about 2% of total economy. Ag is 1% of Ont's - The cowboy hat thing = just identity fashion like punk pins, blue hair...

Trump’s 50% tariffs just landed on nearly $30 BILLION in Canadian goods — from lumber to hockey sticks. Guess who pays the tariffs? AMERICAN importers. That means higher costs for American builders, retailers and families. Trump did it anyway. Worst dealmaker ever.
