Chance for independence

Many adults have faced the realization they are in a toxic relationship that needs to end. But when? How? Bills still need to be paid, kids still need to be looked after, and the ties built with extended family are hard to sever. You try to fix the damage, but your partner keeps name-calling, spending your paycheque and gas lighting. This is where Alberta is within a dysfunctional Canada. Gone are the normal milestones for our children and grandchildren: jobs, houses, families. Gone is the ability to even talk about it openly without being smeared, censored or worse, prosecuted. Gone is the ability for people to get the basics like decent health care, education, shelter and even food. Like any flight from a bad marriage, we have one shot to escape. One opportunity to not go down with the ship. I invite anyone reading this to research the benefits that Alberta independence would have, not just for yourself, but for future generations.

Twice as nice
If we have to replace this large feeder main anyway, would it not make more sense to do it with two smaller pipes half the size? As long as the same volume of water is flowing through both as it is in the one larger one, what difference would it make? That way if one fails you’d still have half the needed water feeding the system making it more of an emergency situation rather than a catastrophic event. Just saying.

I can’t believe you printed J.D. Round’s false article (‘Coming for our potash,’ Letters to the Editor, Jan. 7). Since when was Mark Carney and his wife Diana Fox Carney arrested and extradited to the United States? It was Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilla Flores. Shame on you for printing wrongful information.

Get ready to suffer
Well Mr. Carney and enviro-extremists, your wishes may come true. With Venezuela oil now in the hands of the U.S., they may not need our oil anymore and Canada will have no inflow of spending money for us. This could be the end of Canada as it serves well that we could be broke and may have to become part of the U.S. to survive. Why? Because the Liberal government blocked and is blocking all attempts to get pipelines built. Our premier warned you and now we will all suffer enormously.
