Probably. It's entertaining reading for a bit, but it gets old quick. So I just scroll past their comments. I get it that it's been a bit of a rough go recently in Alberta. I have friends and family who live there and they tell me how bad it is. A good friend, who ran a marketing agency, with a number of clients in the oil and gas business, had to shut his business down, and lay off the staff - not a large number of people, but part of the knock-on effect of what's been going on.
Anyway, these people that are talking about separation, again, I sense the frustration, and I see it, but do they not realize that they will be WAY better off IN Canada than OUTSIDE Canada? Canada, time and again, is either ranked #1 in the world or close to it, in all those many world-wide polls and surveys, that look at Best-Place-To-Be rankings. We have it pretty good here in Canada - even better than in the U.S. and I know a great number of the most ardent Pro-Alberta anti-Canada types look south of the border, and think the USA is great (MAGA and all that). Make no mistake, the US is a GREAT country, with lots to offer, but why does it almost always rank FAR behind Canada in all of those polls and surveys that I just noted?
