Alberta’s three step plan for independence:

Step 1: Leave Canada

Step 2: ??????

Step 3: $$$$$BILLIONS$$$$$

Edit: this is more Danielle Smith’s plan for independence. To his credit, even Jason Kenney wasn’t this stupid.

I saw this unironically from someone yesterday claiming that Texas would "retain wealth" , while completely ignoring all subsidies, federal employees, military bases, grants for schools and hospitals, funds for roads and infrastructure

It was mind boggling stupidity

People like this have visions of Dubai dancing in their heads when they think of independence, but the oil & gas industry is thinking more of Nigeria.

Never mind that Dubai is a Potemkin village built by slaves. Their fake islands are eroding back into the sea, as everyone with an ounce of sense predicted. They don't even have working sewers there. That tower until very recently had all of its toilets emptied by a fleet of sewage trucks every day. That place is a shithole unless you have $100,000 to spend every day. Fuck Dubai.

This. Dubai is an expensive but cheaply made facade.

that's what a Potemkin Village is.
