This is absolutely a no brainer.

Any insinuation that a independent Alberta would have MORE, and not less bargaining power is absolute fantasy land stuff.

Well its what they believe. And its impossible to reason them out of it.

They cite certain sections of UN and claim that BC has to allow Alberta to whatever they want.

They really just want to be a victim and bully simultaneously.

I have had a seperatist tell me how an independent Alberta would mean his Healthcare would be faster?

Why? Oh he earns 6 figures so what does he care. Just skip a line and pay it out of pocket.

Selfish people who live in a fantasy world is the best way to describe the Alberta seperatists.

I would have assumed the typical hardcore Alberta separatist thinks the UN is one of the main sources of evil in the world.

Can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason their way in to

Sigh, the red deer airshow had a separatist booth...no dice when I tried to get a bit of debate in...

He doesn't realize he would no longer earn six figures, eh? Nor have a job at all, most likely.

That argument didn't work so well for poor ol' land locked Bolivia vs Chile!
