stompin mulie over a ugly old broomed off sheep anyday is my vote.
ive been pushing the 'erase the alta/sask border' adjenda for some time now.
and even add manitoba if they want too!
first thing we do is synchronize with sask on this stupid time change and quit that nonsense.

Look up the proposed province of Buffalo. Many think we were split as the east did not want such a resource powerful single province.

Still no coastline.
How much should we give 'em for decent road maintenance, do you figure?

Exactly! The last thing that Saskatchewan would want to do is join up with people that might vote in an NDP government , after Saskatchewan only recently escaped their tyranny.

Me thinks Brad Wall is a teensy bit nervous given the current trend in the last few elections in Canada

hehehe...
Lets be correct on this, Canadians love Alberta, just not the self righteousness of it's people. We talk about diversity. Albertans have long had the opportunity to invest in a country of abundant resources, educated workforce, market positioning to the largest consumer, on and on, but for some reason they want to go it alone.

The west
We as "Westerners" are a strong people and strong Provinces. It seems that the bullies are in Ontario and Quebec, with them saying we can't take carry of ourselves. Maybe the true problem are these self centered politcians thinking that things will run better under their control and leadership. (OMO)

Wouldn't it be easier to just flush Vancouver. Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and keep the rest of this great country?
Maybe go back to the days of being Canadian instead of Albertan, Native, French, Etc??
Maybe have elected leaders that are for Canada and not Quebec or Alberta or_____??
Or we could just build a wall or 2.....we will take northern Ontario west to the Pacific and wall off Vancouver

I don't see Wall sitting down and working anything out with Ontario and Quebec. I'm not an NDP supporter but Notley did a decent job with them at the recent premiers conference. All Wall has done is huff and puff, and has achieved ZERO.
And amalgamating with Sask would do nothing. We would still be landlocked. Now amalgamating with BC would be much better. Would get us to the coast

He's done zero? From what I understand, he led the resistance to a federal carbon tax. That's pretty significant. I'd like to hear your definition of a 'decent job' as well. Is energy east approved now?
