1 Jeepers..I know there's little real value in talking about it here (doubt there'd be any separatists or on-the-fencers here) but I just can't believe (okay, I can) how *stupid* #Alberta separatists are! For those outside Canada- the nutshell version is that there are longstanding complaints that many national gov'ts in Canada have given precedence to the needs/wishes of historically more populous provinces in Central/Eastern Canada. There is *some* validity to this, esp in the past #cdnpoli

2 but the irony is that among the *supposed* key issues is the wish to be able to export more petroleum (that's also stupid, but another issue) and want more pipelines across other provinces/territories to get to the ocean. And they really believe that they will have an easier time building pipelines across British Columbia if it is another country??? Nevermind that all the fuss of separatism will damage the economy they are so keen to build #economics
