Mark my words they are using the Coutts 4 as a warning to other Canadians about what will happen if they protest the little DICKtater’s rule. The subject came up at the DS town hall today and DS once again reiterated that NO politician can interfere with a case before the courts and that includes MP’s. I talked with our MP today about the guys and he believes that once the 30 months maximum passes they will be let out and forgotten about. They are being framed and punished for challenging the regime ESPECIALLY because they are Alberta boys (this last part I believe).
If you decide to protest and they toss you in jail for a trumped up charge expect to be held 30 months, anything shorter will be a pleasant surprise.

Decades of attempted reform. The same constitutional frustrations resurfacing again and again. Alberta’s enormous fiscal contribution to Canada. Legitimate questions about debt, assets, trade, pensions, investment, and what a transition could look like.
Those questions deserve serious answers. But identifying things that would need to be negotiated is very different from proving they cannot be negotiated.
And there’s one question I think deserves just as much scrutiny as every risk associated with leaving:
What happens if Alberta stays?
Because staying is a choice too, and it comes with its own assumptions, ...
