“Western Independence” – Page 7

Why western Canada should join the US

Here in the west, many don’t want a trade war with the United States. They want in.

I was born in Saskatchewan and have no intention of returning. It’s the Siberia of Canada, an area bigger than France – where I now live – with the population of Buffalo, New York. It’s sucked dry by Ottawa. Elon Musk was here, and left. And it has winter temperatures of -40 degrees.

Alberta has slightly more going for it: skiing, bears. But Albertans aren’t gruntled, either. The last time I was in Calgary I had lunch at the elite Ranchmen’s Club and the chatter was seditious. The talk was of Wexit – the separation of western Canada from the bloodsucking east.

My brother, his son and wife have set in motion a plan to relocate to Alberta.

Within Western Canadian circles, talk of political independence, as well as separation from Eastern Canada, has been growing steadily over the past few years.

The difference between the two being of critical importance. There is no snap of the fingers, or magic formula, that would transition the West into a separate nation from Eastern Canada.

John Ivison: Maverick Party stands alone in push for Western independence — for now

Jay Hill is an unlikely separatist. The 68-year-old former cabinet minister was a committed federalist in the Harper government.

But he said he has become so disillusioned with the political status quo under Liberal and Conservative governments that he has reluctantly come around to the idea of Western independence.
