Sovereignty Associat...Well I thought it was vague. Sovereignty Association vague. "Western Canadians should begin to explore the idea of forming their own country?"<BR/><BR/>"...begin to explore the idea..." You don't think that's vague?<BR/><BR/>Why not the simpler "Do you want Western Canada to seperate?"<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to disagree with any of the rest of the stuff you said. You're right, there is special treatment for Ontario. The whole point of the post was that creates weakness here, not strenght. It's not a good thing, it's a bad thing. The solution isn't more special treatment for the West, but it's less special treatment for the east.<BR/><BR/>Look I'm an Ontario Conservative. Too Conservative. I feel like I'm a lost sheep in land of wolves sometimes. The West is the only thing keeping balance in the Dominion. Without the West, we're all Chaputs.<BR/><BR/>IOW, please, for Pete's sake, don't leave me to the wolves.William Tellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14840575381956651912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9578224.post-1123784571039769212005-08-11T14:22:00.000-04:002005-08-11T14:22:00.000-04:00Jason, Jason, Jason. The question was hardly vagu...Jason, Jason, Jason. The question was hardly vague: "agree or disagree: Western Canadians should begin to explore the idea of forming their own country."<BR/><BR/>"The West won't leave anytime soon"... of course not. Alberta will continue to pour 12 billion dollars a year in transfer payments to Quebec, and then meekly remain silent when we are called "scary", knuckledragging rednecks by the national press. And when a carbon tax is brought in that brings the oil industry to its knees (oh but not the car manufacturing industry) for the second time in twenty five years, we'll continue to finance Ottawa's experiments in social engineering, "somehow".Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273835203670190756noreply@blogger.com
