NO thanks to Wexit!

So I was on my stationary bike, listening to As It Happens and hearing this guy whining about we'd better let them have the pipelines and the oil money or watch Alberta and Saskatchewan become a country together. The idea that tarsands oil money is important enough to make people in the oil business and their hangers-on want to force people like, say, me to get a visa and passport to visit my grandparents' graves burns my guts. It also got me to stay on the bike for six minutes instead of five.

It's also not going to happen. Leaving would make building pipelines more difficult, rather than easier.

Talking about Western alienation is reasonable. Making an argument for separation based on differing values is essentially just mirroring Quebec, but with less in the way of differences. Talking about leaving because it's too hard to build pipelines across BC is just utterly irrational.
