@Webster21 and I attended the information session for independence yesterday in Brook hosted by Todd Beasley with speakers
Dr Dennis Modry - founder and executive chair of the Alberta Prosperity Project
Mr. Cory Morgan - host - "the Cory Morgan Show" author and journalist at the Westen Standard
Mr. Michael Wagner author "No other option" a guide for Alberta self determination
Mr. Vince Byfield - a passionate Albertan and Ted's son
Mr. Danny Hozack - past chair of the Canadian Cattleman's association.
This was a information session for those with no understanding or knowledge of Alberta's history and the independence movement so for those of us who have been on the freedom train it wasn't much new. They need to have more information readily available and I'm talking numbers in a hand out or certainly in their hands to present when asked about numbers.
I had a elderly lady thank me for my question when I was leaving, I asked for the numbers regarding what pension amounts would be, what it would cost to have our own police force, collect our own taxes. I am a numbers person and so are those I talk to. We need facts to the best of our knowledge regarding how this will affect people's bottom line.
I love dreaming about freedom and prosperity just like anyone else, hope is a powerful motivator but it's also dangerous when it's folly and not backed with facts. We need those numbers and real world plans.
What did you think @Webster21? (Sorry I had to rush off, grandkids were past their patience).

Besides being confused that none of the questions on the referendum are binding or really addressing any meaningful issues for Albertans (pension, tax collection, policing, equalization), I am confused about the No to the nine crowd. The left is owned by the unions, the teachers union, the nurses unions. The teachers complain incessantly about class sizes and the English as a second language kids and special needs kids. Nurses complain about how busy and how overrun they are in hospital and how healthcare needs to be protected - all concerns deeply impacted by immigration … AND YET… they want to say No to the Nine. So they want to whine but they don’t really want to solve the root cause of the problem that impacts them every day. Nothing drives me crazier than a person who wants to vent and identify problems without any commitment to finding a solution.
What confuses me is to be so blinded by your need to disagree with the conservatives that you would not even think thru the ...
