A Globe and Mail investigation reports Alberta separatist figures proposed giving the U.S. access to fresh water and oil royalties in exchange for help with independence. Another separatist leader disputes it, and the investigation also reveals a Calgary meeting with Republican operatives from Michigan.
What is most revealing is they are willing to sell natural resources for pennies on the dollar which is proof they dont actually care about the betterment of Alberta. This was always grievance (aka prejudice) politics. Maple MAGA is an extremists movement.
“Pennies on the dollar” for something they otherwise wouldn’t be allowed to sell, is still a massive windfall. These people are not just traitors to their country…they’re thieves.
Untrue for oil and gas. Alberta has seen windfall gains on oil and gas growing year over year. Under trudeau profits rose their fastest and most sustained in albertan history. Carney now building a second pipeline, more markets equals better asking price. Offering even cheaper rates for products already on a market is self defeating.
I guess you meant water though. Alberta actually is more water sensitive than most of the country, so that wouldn’t be wise.
Ummm, no…I was talking about the oil royalties. That’s the equivalent of “ownership stock” in Alberta’s most profitable resource. If they give that to the US, then they collect a share of everything the oil companies pull out of the ground. That’s revenue that belongs to everyone in Alberta, and these fucks are planning on selling it to the Americans in exchange for treason.
Ah that is my point too. Selling out resources to the Americans as opposed to finding new markets at market rates, means these people are dont care about albertan prosperity.
they want to be the Vichy state
The liberals in power will never label them as such because they’re all in the same fucking camp
Ive never voted Liberal and wont. But to be fair. These separatists are suggesting way below market rates to a single buyer as an incentive for US support. Carney is buying another pipeline (after Trudeau did which is at 95% export capacity) which means more markets at market rates. Not below it.
