They literally have no plan. They think the streets are going to be paved with gold, but they're speedrunning their way to becoming a 3rd world country.
Going to get a big heaping spoonful of reality with oil in 2026 too, the outlooks not looking too hot. Governments going to need to run big deficits, all the healthcare cuts are going to really start kicking in, and these muppets are all going to be losing their jobs. It's going to be interesting, to say the least, to watch the amount of twisting and maneuvering they are going to need to do to justify licking Marlaina's boots, as they are so prone to do. No doubt in my mind they'll continue to spew UCP diarrhea, but oh boy is it going to be like watching a game of twister.
I'm resolved to just watch at this point. If these people are so fucking stupid, they can continue to cheer while anyone who actually has capital all leaves with the bags. That includes myself. I mean I ain't got all that much capital compared to the big boys, but I'm just one of tens of thousands that will be cutting and running. FAFO.
In the 70s, the Rest of Canada (ROC) actually hoped PQ would remain.
Today, the ROC simply says to AB, "Fuck off and GO if you're that fucking stupid!"
drill baby drill!!
There's always gonna be more oil and the price will always go up
They are going to lose EVERYTHING if they seperate from Canada. White Nigeria, here they come.
I mean even Nigeria shows initiative. All these fat fucking pieces of shit can do is whine, stomp their feet and complain. They don't have anything actually beneficial to add to the world marketplace, other than their dirty oil thats going to then involve even more challenges to get to market. Just even that fact alone, shows how smart these morons are. Place is going to be more like Mad Max, because the UCP isn't smart enough to run their own reserves or treasury. They'll keep robbing the friggin bank!
Québec's seperate pension is doing pretty wrll. They've heavily invested in crown/municipal corps that give back to the province, like Hydro Québec and ARTM. They're a 75% investor in Montréal's new REM line.
So it's not necessarily a bad thing... Depending on execution...
Do you really think they have a plan beyond 'fuck everyone else' though?
Creating memes, karma farming and spreading Facebook outrage. Because that pays the bills, and creates prosperity.
