Does it still seem like a comfortable level of support, any concerns about getting more then enough signatures in time? I would guess that over half of all needed signatures will have been collected by now, possibly even enough have been collected now.
Oh I signed a thing saying I wouldn’t give out exact numbers, and I can’t generalize beyond my local area, but we are exceeding our targets. People are fired up and the same people that organize everything are fully on board. We’ve got volunteers dashing all over the place- to people’s houses, scheduling meetings, getting invited to gatherings- I love seeing the energy. Our worst problems are occasionally running out of signature sheets, but we’re getting better at that.
Obviously this means Canada needs to start importing subsaharans at industrial rates too.
Toronto public transit has been full of junkies shooting up since like 2011 though. The city's always been the biggest shithole in the country outside of Winnipeg.
I had a visit from an old friend who lives around Red Deer area, first time I seen him in 15 years. Anyways he's a tradesman and he told me that basically everyone he knows wants to separate. On the way to the airport the cab driver asked him if had signed the petition yet. I guess he felt conflicted not being originally from there, but he said if they do end up separating he would be staying in Alberta. I told him to sign it when he goes back, maybe in the future he can sponsor me as a refugee when the government finds out what I post on the internet.
Media reporting (including social) has been hilarious in this regard too. Quite a few Calgarians are apparently shocked at seeing the degree of separatist support in Okotoks and Airdrie (if Calgary Herald/Sun comments are anything to go by), and then you have the Reddit progs in r/Calgary and r/Edmonton dumbfounded how there's lineups at various signing events within their city boundaries. Always fun seeing how these people don't understand a ~30% polled support for independence means you will always come across supporters - that's 1.5 million people after all.
The threshold is 10% of registered voters or 177,732, if polled support is 30% they could easily get triple that - possibly more if the polls are skewed to downplay support, and as awareness spreads and people understand better what separatism looks like they might be more inclined to support it. I would love to see 50% of registered voters as then the actual referendum would be purely ceremonial and the salt would be legendary.
frankly i'm surprised anyone seriously thought it would happen. how many times has a major pipeline been cancelled? And with BC just giving land and towns to the natives who would ever make such a large investment over land that could be
On the bright side, there goes Chinese interest in Canada, and any possible future where the US has to Monroe doctrine Canada.
I'd love to be in the room when Carney has to explain to President Xi that he cannot give him Canadian gas because of how inept their government is that businesses simply refuse to trust that they will not cancel very expensive investments. With how China can pull off any major infrastructure project even if means demolishing an entire town they must thing we are a bunch of bumbling idiots.
Green movements are always like watermelons. Green on the outside, red on the inside. You will never see any of those types protesting or denouncing the environmental abuses of marxists regimes, only capitalist ones.
Somehow I don't think they will be properly controlled. The natives will still demand the land and the green activists will still fight it, then go off the rails when the judges don't give them what they want and gum up the works. It'll be hard to do a 180 after setting a precedent that any native could claim the land the pipeline is on by saying their great- great- great- great- great- grandfather once took a crap on that land.
That thing is a double edged sword. Sure they can force through government projects but they can still cancel them at a whim as they have already threw the legal framework into chaos. The Liberal government simply cannot be trusted and Enbridge will not trust them unless the government pays them in advanced to build the pipeline and Enbridge has some ireon clad guarantees that they won't be left holding the bag again when the government goes "lol nah changed my mind". Temporarily suspending provincial and local laws and rules just means those rules may suddenly reapply at an inconvenient time. What happens when the pipeline is almost complete and the government suddenly decides it's no longer nationally important? Now Enbridge would be stuck resolving the legal quagmire of all those laws and rules that were ignored.
Nope, a large amount of Canadian loves and I mean LOVES China and the CCP, especially leftist types. I've seen clips of Canadians who get mad whenever someone criticizes or makes fun of the CCP. Like I could easily tell by their expression and tone that they genuinely took the criticism towards the Chinese government personally. The CCP probably has more support in Canada than in China itself at this point.
If that happens, I don't know what's sadder, Canada only getting a Pacific pipeline because our chink masters demanded it, or the CCP having to rely on the Canadian government.
China will definitely get buyer's remorse if they end up desperate enough to rely on Canada.
Libniggers really think their technocratic overlords wont turn the security apparatus that they have used against the right for the past 15 years on them in the blink of an eye. I personally cant wait for them to find out.
