Settle in the state of things as they are now agitated?

The quantum pool personified in the company of heaven knows how many mystics ... ebullient?

LAST after delivering papers in a 37 k/h with with gusts in excess of 60 k/h! I don't plan to move for the rest of the day/evening

Maybe due to all of Red's bubbles ripping through a air of Daedalus ... another myth of foreign proportion if you do not familiarize yourself ...

It could be an extensive zoan if you total up all those that didn't wish to know much about the thing ... the goans ... gones? Gone on ...
 
Papers delivered before the wicked wind gusts started. Though, I did drive through snow and fog earlier in the trip.

There have always been separatists in AB - at least as long as I've been alive - but they've always been less than 10% of the population and never in the actual government! Latest poll numbers I heard are that 30% of AB residents want to leave. Why don't they just MOVE AWAY then and leave the rest of us alone.

Thankfully the process, even if we had a prov referendum is very onerous - especially since almost 100% of AB is treaty land so can't separate without 100% agreement from the Indigenous (besides all the other hoops that need jumped through)

Instead, I think that our Premier and every MLA who supports separation should be kicked out of govt forever. Or charged with treason, as that's essentially what it is.

How would that be justified given no one has ever tried with Quebec? Basically, to my eye, Alberta is playing the same gambit that Quebec has for pretty much my entire lifetime. Use the threat of separation to wrest power and money from Ottawa to essentially become a separate nation within Canada. I actually have more sympathy with Quebec separatists (albeit still very little) since they at least can make the French language and culture argument. Alberta separatists, to my eye, are really just bunch of cranky Westerners mad that they live in a country that actually expects them to share their toys with the other kids.

Were it possible and AB were to separate, we'd get nothing...and I wish people would see that. We are landlocked - if we can't get all of our resources to outside markets now, how would we as a separate nation (or state in the US) when we would still need to deal with Canada? Foolish people.

Quebec may say they want to separate, and go through motions, but when push comes to shove (ie now with the nutcase as our neighbour) they don't really want to. It's a bargaining chip. With this group in AB it isn't about bargaining/bullying to get their own way, as much as they really want to do it, no matter how the majority of residents feel.
