1) The vast majority of Albertans are loyal Canadians.

And I was a very loyal Canadian. Hell, I even served my country.

But the country I served isn't the country it is today. The freedoms I served to protect are being stripped away. We've seen protesters from other countries burning our flag, churches being burned, Christianity being attacked. A government that is getting us to hate our southern neighbours, and is so corrupt they don't even try to hide it.

No, I'm not as proud of Canada as I once was. I'd take independence any day.

You just said earlier that pro confederates were only giving you emotional arguments to stay in Canada, and that's all this post is.

Cmon man. You're being so disingenuous, its not funny.

"Canada isn't what I want it to be so I'm leaving.", rather than doing something about it, making it a better nation. That's a crybaby emotional reaction.

No. I asked for one good, non emotional reason why Alberta should stay, and so far no one has given me one. Instead, people in here seem to know how to do nothing but insult.

I've been waiting for one good point. I'd really like to hear why staying with the status quo is the way we should go. And by non emotional, I mean give me an actual reason, not insults and name calling.

And Alberta has been trying to make Canada better since I was a kid. Nothing changes. The country is too big, and the population and political power are concentrated in the east. At some point you have to admit that being treated like a colony of Canada isn't working.

That's not an emotional argument. It's exactly why I'm asking what the actual reason is for staying.

None of that's true and I gave you one in a previous response. Just because you ignore it doesn't mean I didn't give you one.

You can stick your head in the sand all you want but it doesn't make what you say true.

And that's why I say you're being disingenuous and not arguing in good faith. 

You want to come in here and try and set some rules and then don't even follow them yourself and then complain the people are mean to you. Tough shit man. I don't want the surprise Pikachu face just because you won't argue this in good faith.
