Alberta separatist group gets over 300k signatures surpassing the 178,000 threshold
We would also be a land locked nation and would have to play extremely nice with two different countries to get our product out to the world. That right there puts us on the back foot when it comes to negotiations. We're fucked without their blessings and everyone knows it. The best chance of success would getting picked up by uncle Sam and that in a lot of ways is just out of the frying pan and into the fire.

It would almost have to be unanimous. You would need enough people in all fields of work/labour including politics who can separate against the will of the rest of the nation and still keep the economy going. Everybody that's hoping for separation has to believe with 100% certainty that the people who are going to be in power, if we were to separate, had their best interests in mind and also knew how to do the job of running a Sovereign Nation when nobody has that experience.

As an Albertan, this will never go through. I think a lot of the support is because it worked for Quebec when they pulled this stunt to get all kinds of handouts and bullshit from the federal government but for us it will result in nothing. We don't have enough ridings to swing an election. Also, the majority of the people that are extremely vocal who support this are white boomers with enough money to move if it didn't work out or it's a bunch of middle-aged white people that think they're still going to have the same level of socialism they get now. While I detest the federal government no matter the party and some of the things the separatists say sounds good, it is just theater Edit: I made some broad generalizations about who is in support of separation. I know a few hard-working, good people who are in support of this.

hit the reset button...
We lost our first dog last year February. Absolutely devastated us. We had/have another dog but we said we weren't going to get a second but seeing our other dog so lonely we caved. 3 months later we see one on Facebook at a local rescue that needed a home and fell in love. It was probably too soon to get another but it is nice to have two dogs again even though the new one is a monster. Brown husky is the new one. 2 years old Brown Shepard is 6 years old Black and white husky is the one we lost last year

Is it possible to have the button that brings you to the most recent unread post made bigger for mobile? I open threads sometimes 4 times before I manage to hit the little blue dot at the beginning of the thread Also, I can't seem to insert a picture. At the bottom of my reply box I have other media drop down box where insert attachment would be but it will only let me insert media I have already posted to this site. Running chrome on pixel 9

- KTM Has an Entire Year's Worth of Unsold Motorcycles Piling Up
To the subject of KTM, they are too expensive with questionable reliability and all their cool electronic features are a subscription or very expensive after the fact.- KTM Has an Entire Year's Worth of Unsold Motorcycles Piling Up
For me personally the fun really starts when the pavement ends. I have never rode dirt bikes but logging/forestry roads are where it is at. Commuting to work for cheap is just a bonus.- KTM Has an Entire Year's Worth of Unsold Motorcycles Piling Up
In reality, no level headed person wants a Harley outside of nostalgia, boomer/Gen x with money, or someone looking for a really good deal on a 20+ year old one. They are only relevant in North America because they couldn't complete and had the government save them on top of years of pump and dumping their own stock. There are so many better bikes out there for way less money and the adventure segment is where it is at.- Cabinet positions not filled.....
Not sure if cabinet or not but Brandon Herrera for director of the ATF. I have no dog in the fight but hoping good changes in the USA will help us up here in the north- Attacked by bear. Kills bear shoots self.
This a really shitty thing about Canada. We cannot carry handguns as regular licensed firearms owners. The only way is if you had a particular job like trapper or wilderness protection for a big company. But as regular citizens, no. We can carry certain rifles and shotguns that fit in the non restricted firearms category but those are only allowed on public land. No national or most provincial parks. As a person who likes to camp in bear territory I really wish I could carry my P10F- Meme thread
