"No we discussed it at some length and to be truthful I was initially inclined to "Republic". Republic is a narrower term that specifies that people elect representatives to act on their behalf and tends to eliminate direct voter referendums such as in Switzerland. That is why we chose the broader term "commonwealth" as it leaves us open to a system of government which is different than a republic. In no wise did we mean to suggest or intend remaining beholden to the British royalty. We need to acknowledge our history.nothing more"

"Apologies but short answer is that the tax is intended for residential properties only not productive farm land. The intention of the frontage and area tax was for residences particularly to replace property taxes getting rid of the wealth tax aspect of the current tax regimes where the more wealth you have in your house or dwelling the more you pay. It was not intended for farm land and as such it would not apply. The reason why we are against wealth taxes is that it is an erosion of property rights where its a real risk that as property values go up you pay more and more property tax until"

"Do not agree on your basic premise. The Americans face a barrier comparable to Alberta's separation from Canada to add a state or territory especially if it were disputed by Canada. As such it means that the US will see an easier path for themselves to recognize align and support an independent Alberta who would be well aligned and be a good trading partner. They gain little by annexing or adding Alberta so the overwhelming likelihood is that they will not want to pursue statehood - but take the far easier path of free trade credit swaps and recognition which is also far more palatable to"

"I can't see that and I most definitely one of "them" as are the people signing my referendum petition sheets.

"It says Alberta would start with $600b in debt which seems to make the assumption that Alberta would take on $500b in federal debt plus the $100b in provincial debt. Even a per capita share of Canadas debt is only around $150b so that number is nonsensical. About half of the exports of Alberta to the rest of Canada is energy so that will continue as Canada has no plausible alternative at least for a number of years. So no cratering economy there. Imports from Canada are dominated by banking finance and insurance services 65%. I do not think it plausible that Canada would stop that business on"

"Well let's take this apart piece by piece. First of all let's start with the base assumption which is no increase in production and no change in tax regime. The last section is a speculative section and we sure the heck are not making the case based on that. If you look at Table [--] you will see we have accounted for the transfers back including CHT CST CCB OAS plus we removed EI from the Contribution. While there are other things the feds may pay for the ones I found are included in the calculations or small enough to be within the ranges posted. In terms of services replacement our list"

Note that every democratic system has a means to balance out will of the majority vs. regional interests as countries especially large ones such as Canada have different constituencies with different interests wants and treatments. Our issue is that we effectively have no means of balancing out regional interests vs. will of the majority and hence the specifics Albertans want are being overridden by that Eastern majority. And we see no way for that to be redressed hence we are seeking independence"

"No need to give up Canadian citizenship many Canadians live in other countries with second passports and have no issue. No reason why that would change.I myself have two passports. USD is a temporary measure mainly as we expect the CDN to crash upon a successful referendum. It is clear that we do not want to relinquish control over our means of exchange and so USD is definitely not a long term goal.because then we are hitched to their economic wagon and that is undesirable for an independent country. The US does not want another state- they have large barriers to making that happen as well"

We assumed we'd get half of that and calculating contributions return on investment ($23b/yr) and deducting current pension obligations($5b) that half still generates more money that is spent. [--].
