Whether your answer is "yes" or '"no" to the title question will likely depend upon your political sensibilities, values, and capacity for discernment. The following ad, from a group called Rise of Alberta, can serve as a litmus test for where you stand. If you find yourself nodding in agreement with it, you may consider making the move. If, however, you discern considerable hyperbole and a paranoid suspicion of Ottawa, you might want to remain where you are.
My Alberta born ancestors must be rolling in their graves.
ReplyDeleteThese are indeed strange time, TB.

Thanks, TB. Despite their rhetoric and fear-mongering, the separatists have little wind in their sails.
DeleteIt just occurred to me this morning—I viewed the video yesterday afternoon—that it should do wonders in ridiculing Alberta separatists.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Anon. The paranoid hyperbole in it is laughable.
DeleteI guess Albertans have never heard of Brexit and it's consequences?
ReplyDeleteTB
I'm sure if they have, many think the reported negative impacts are overblown, TB.
DeleteWhen the issue of anthropomorphic climate change had 12000 documented "aye" peer reviewed published papers and the" nay" had about 12 and both sides were given equal air time .... This is the latest opportunistic way to sell t shirts. They did well with the lil pp impersonator steak dude tho .... the similarity might be inbreeding.
ReplyDeleteA book I am currently reading by Timothy Caulfield called The Certainty Illusion spends a lot of time talking about bogus studies, Anon. It is amazing that many of them have legitimate-sounding names but produce absolute nonsense. Sounds like those 12 were part of that cohort.
