Dear Editor,
Re: A week fraternizing with Americans, April 2
You blamed U.S. President Donald Trump for ruining our country. It's not his fault. This goes back 60-plus years of corrupt Canadian politicians, not Trump, who’s been in office for three months, and the Canadian voters who let them turn this once confederation into a socialist dominated country.
So quit bashing the United States of America and look at how we destroy ourselves. We can't even agree with other provinces, and tax the hell out of each other. We have Quebec being supported by Alberta, and Ottawa and the rest of eastern Canada ripping Alberta off.
The two best things that could happen to Alberta is either a 51st state or a Republic of Alberta. Either way we'd be better off.
Canada needs Alberta, but Alberta doesn't need Canada. Being in this broken confederation serves Alberta nothing.
There's no unity and hasn't been for years, probably since the first Trudeau hit Ottawa.

It’s 249 kms from Blackie to the border. Let us know if you need directions (or just stay to the far right, can’t miss it)
It is exactly this attitude that continues to drive a wedge to divide our great country. The more arrogant Upper and Lower Canada get the more likely their worst fears will come true.
Well said Larry.👏
LIBERALS RUINED CANADA…not Americans.
Vote Conservative…or Canada will cease to exist.
Vote people
🤞
Whatever Boilievre says eh? What a bunch of no-minds.
I think you missed the letter-writer's point. He stated that Canada has been ruined by 60 plus years of corrupt socialist governments. In the past 60 plus years, Conservatives have led the country almost as often as Liberals have (under Stephen Harper, Brian Mulroney, Joe Clark, and John Diefenbaker), so the letter-writer clearly holds the belief that Conservatives are also corrupt and socialist.
To: Tris Pargeter I guess that is why every time Pierre comes up with an idea, Carney steals it and claims it as his own. The only good ideas are Liberal ones, even the ones that they vote against at first. Soddenly everyone has amnesia and the last 10 years are just a bad dream.
All of you who wish to become the 51st state, do everyone a huge favor and just move to the USA...don't let the door hit you on your way 😉
Be careful what you wish for. Dare I suggest you are likely a Liberal living in Ontario or Quebec?
Actually, please let the door smack you where the good lord split you on your way out and revoke your Canadian citizenship because you don't deserve to be a Canadian.
Which toxic piece of a tailings pond are you taking with when you separate? Over 80% of Alberta is First Nations land in Treaty with the Crown. We’re very happy being Canadian, so feel free to go away.
Very sensible. The Liberal elites in Upper and Lower Canada have ruined this nation. When you attempt to take advantage of one region for the benefit of another (read Western Canada for the benefit of Quebec, Ontario and Atlantic Provinces) you divided the country and create alternate. Without a doubt, everyone in Western Canada would be economically better off aligned with the US and separate from the rest of Canada. Unfortunately, that would destroy the country that I love. I am a nationalist, but there are limits and the Liberal government squandering the goodwill of Western Canada is at a break-point. Make no mistake, the separation risk is not from Quebec who needs Western Canadian subsidies, the risk to Canada is Western Canadian Provinces and Alberta specifically.
Trudeau and his Liberal gang made us broke…
Young Justin flying all over the world giving our money away..
And you people want to reelect them?
Are you crazy?🤪
Move to Russia!…….honestly get your ..it together!!!
😡
Actually, Poilievre's conservatives ARE the carbon copy of the current US president and US administration and he will adopt all Trump's policies and place Canada in an authoritarian regime just like US now. Check out Pierre's PLANE that has been "given" to him, pay attention to his mannerisms - thumbs up, closed fist bump, in the photos at the Kelowna airport over the past weekend. LISTEN carefully to his rhetoric - very trumpy!
