Criminal not to put that in the headline.
But, pushing back on Blanchet becoming a petrostate wouldn’t really distinguish Alberta from the Canada that was anyway. Canada has always oriented around extracting max wealth from our stolen land which is why so much of our politics orients around Alberta in the first place.
Very different tone from what his counterpart in the PQ has taken.
Things heating up in the Quebec sovereignty fandom?
I’d love to see how many separatist just became albertan in the last 5 years and how many were born in am Alberta .
When he can say Quebec is financially stable without Alberta, he can voice his opinion. Until then he should keep his mouth shut.
I reject the notion that nations are the sole sources of legitimacy for states. Western separatism is dumb, but not because Alberta isn’t a nation.
Canada, Belgium, and Nigeria aren’t less legitimate than Germany, Japan, or Israel because the former lack nations as their sources of legitimacy.
I mean Blanchet is right. There’s not really anything distinct in Alberta that separates it from most Canadians. It’s not like we have our own language and our own legal code.
So what, we have speak a different language and get a new religion or something? That’s stupid, Quebec as nation is like a self made entrepreneur with a trust fund from their parents. Do they honestly think they are further from Ottawa culture than us?
Alberta is a random collection of people that came here mainly to have a better economic future. Why should that not be good enough of a shared vision to be able to dictate their own decisions if they so wish. I’d say its a lot more meaningful than everyone, what slowly abandoning Catholicism?
