It’s been a long time since separatism was a meaningful issue in Canada, but Monday’s election results seem to have brought it back to the fore. In Quebec, the Bloc Québécois surged back to political relevance by winning 32 seats, while the Liberals were shut out of Alberta and Saskatchewan in a way that was reminiscent of the last Pierre Trudeau government in the early 1980s.
If the Liberal government wants to contain the spread of Western alienation, it should turn to the most powerful Albertan in its midst to do it: Chrystia Freeland. Yes, she technically represents the downtown Toronto riding of University-Rosedale, but her Alberta roots are deep. She was born and raised in Peace River, and her paternal grandfather was a farmer who rode in the Calgary Stampede. Her mother even ran for office as a New Democrat in 1988 in the riding of Edmonton-Strathcona.
That rage may not abate any time soon, regardless of what the federal government does. Yes, it’s supporting the construction of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, which will help Alberta’s beleaguered energy sector. But that won’t increase global prices, and it won’t change the fact that global demand for fossil fuels may peak much sooner than anyone had predicted even a few years ago.
maxfawcett She's a criminal
maxfawcett Ummmm NO!
maxfawcett Canada does not need “saving” thanks.
maxfawcett Western alienation is a myth.
maxfawcett You are kidding right?..
maxfawcett if they want to ensure we separate then yes Chrysta is the one to send. Nenshi can be her note taker.
maxfawcett The west is fed up as they should be.
maxfawcett Freeland has been nothing short of a disaster in foreign affairs.
maxfawcett Just shows how sad and out of touch Maclean’s is.
maxfawcett No! She us not that talented. She is just a former journalist and was not that accomplished in that profession
maxfawcett Haha... thats funny.
maxfawcett Nice one Mcleans twist the knife while it’s in there. Up until this point most Canadians didn’t know she was an Albertan. And Alberta had did it’s best to forget she was Albertan. So please,ditch this information like it was blackface or groper, national unity depends on it.
maxfawcett LMAOOOO Putting that bailout to good use I see Macleans. Maybe rehab would be a better investment eh?
maxfawcett Dont think so
maxfawcett Seriously? Is this supposed to be satire? 😑
maxfawcett 🤮
maxfawcett Is this a parody account?
maxfawcett Satire?
maxfawcett
maxfawcett Who is this Fawcett person and why is he on acid? Liberals are trying to choose politicians who are hated in the West to speak for the West and bring us together? More likely meant to be a slap in the face to Westerners!
maxfawcett Are you guys & gals & in-betweens all smoking the same pot in the editorial room? Her roots may be Albertan but she is not one. She has drunk deeply of the Soros elixir and is a socialist through & through. She is not a saviour, she is just a slightly more intelligent liberal.
maxfawcett Lololololo
maxfawcett
maxfawcett Yeah that’s a hard nope!!!!!!
maxfawcett Nope that gal on sale!!! Stay fuck away!!! Not interested in your professionalism!!
maxfawcett She's the MP for Rosedale, for God's sake.
maxfawcett Hahahaha! Seriously?
maxfawcett Shove it
maxfawcett From what I read in the replies it appears your theory is catching on.
maxfawcett Freeland is beyond incompetent, what rubbish this article is. Hard pass!
maxfawcett If the strategy is to increase the Western alienation wexit, definitely cafreeland will do a good job cdnpoli
maxfawcett This must be a parody account right. Freeland is an Albertan? OMG LMAO
maxfawcett NO!!!
maxfawcett I did not know Chrystia Freeland was originally from Alberta and has roots here. But i did notice she was noticably quiet during the election compared to other high profile Libs. And i can say, aside from her sucking up to Trudeau, i wondered about her position on pipelines. ?
maxfawcett Err myyy gurd such a fabulous idea. Such a classy lady with so much poise and intelligence. I’m so excited for the possibilities coming from this.. love whyliberalswin........
maxfawcett Come to think I use to read your magazine, Freeland has become a pariah in Alberta like the demented RachelNotley once we complete WexitAlberta they will be expelled to Ontario& BC BillTufts Franktmcveety ABStrongABFree ABBlueSkies ABIndependence albertaseparate
maxfawcett Hahaha. She is unwelcome in Alberta. We don’t want token representation in Canada, we want out. wexit
maxfawcett Lol. Freeland. What a nightmare She can’t get even China to return her calls
maxfawcett Are you stoned? This is like pouring gasoline onto the fire!
maxfawcett Hahaha hahaha
maxfawcett That's twisted logic.
maxfawcett You mean the same Chrystia who unequivocally supported Mr Socks through the SNC/ Norman/ blackface scandals. Yah that will work out well.
maxfawcett
maxfawcett 🤭 😛 😝 😆 😂 🤣
maxfawcett Yeah, a person who started crying then got up and walked out of an international trade meeting because she couldn’t get her way will save the country. Alrighty then...
maxfawcett If we have to hold Canada together using Freeland. Then 🇨🇦 is doomed to destruction.
maxfawcett This has to be a joke everyone i know in the West does not like cafreeland and I cant thin of one thing she has done for the west
maxfawcett OMG I can't contain my laughter.🤣🤣🤣 I'm old enough to remember a time when Macleans was respected for news, now they are writing comedy.
maxfawcett Nope, practical approach is to deal head on with gatekeepers Moe, Kenney and Pallister. Identify or more so regurgitate strategic policy changes, implementation dates and demonstrate willingness through action to resolve. Create debate panel with Danielle S, Wall, Rona, etc.
maxfawcett If the liberal government wants to contain the spread of Western alienation, they should just listen to westerners. Maybe do the right thing. It’s not rocket science.
maxfawcett She rolled around on the floor after trying to negotiate with Trump. She can’t save f all ! Leftist magazine trying to be relevant what a joke !!
maxfawcett 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Enough with TheOnion headlines!
maxfawcett That is a terrible idea
maxfawcett
maxfawcett Don’t think so! Not sure it you think western are stupid or what. A liberal is a liberal doesn’t matter where they are from. They all are trying to kill the energy industry.
maxfawcett Of all the bad takes, this is the worst
maxfawcett Her paternal grandfather rode in the Calgary Stampede. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
maxfawcett Alberta and Saskatchewan should put a list of ppl that we will accept and send it to jussietrudeau and if he doesn’t like it he can pound sand! It should be our decision not his!
maxfawcett wow. No shortage of stupid.
maxfawcett If Chrystia Freeland is our last resort, someone should nuke us already. Just make it stop, please😞
maxfawcett Oh it's hilarious, the regime is playing with you now, the politically incompetent voters of Canada. They can implant any thought ,any outrageous idea including installing this fascist collaborator and you will submit to keep your phoney national identity !
maxfawcett That should speed things up nicely!
maxfawcett Youre heavily subsidized by the Liberal government, No? You would not exist without the Liberal Government no? Then do not provide opinions. Close down - nobody will notice. You REALLY think that Freeland - who reps Toronto Centre can speak to or for ALbertans?
maxfawcett Oh my God...... seriously?
maxfawcett What is really trying to say is that JustinTrudeau is actually telling Alberta that it’s not up to Alberta in any way shape or form. Ottawa is telling Alberta that there’s no chance of any meaningful conversation.
maxfawcett Further proof that eastern based media is out of touch with the west!!! Everything cafreeland has touched has burnt down!!! She’s terrible at what she does!! China, India, US... international ties have never been worse!! Her involvement might accelerate WEXITALBERTA
maxfawcett Why? Does she support Alberta's energy resources? If you think making a woman from Alberta, the liberal party leader, is enough to salve the situation; then you have seriously misread the situation.
maxfawcett Is this a fucking joke!
maxfawcett I dont think so. She is one of the most corrupt, UN loving, Soros puppets out there!
maxfawcett Clearly this article was written by a pasty-skinned, soft-handed Torontonian 😂😂😂. To suggest Freeland is the 'most powerful Albertan' in Ottawa is laughable, and underscores how out of touch the average easterner is with the West. Have another soy latte, Max!
maxfawcett Is this a parody acct?
maxfawcett Wow...the best they. Got?
maxfawcett China has an aggressive plan to become the new economic engine of the world. New World Order /Globalism needs the destruction of the western capitalist system before it can be fully implemented. Liberalism + cultural Marxism is that tool of destruction.
maxfawcett The only way she could be more useless is if she was bigger
maxfawcett She can’t even dress her self properly no thanks .
maxfawcett This article lost me at 'Illogical economic and political arguments didn’t stop Britain from supporting Brexit, after all.' Articles by those who disparage democracy shouldn't be upheld as anything other than examples of opinions we DON'T need. cdnpoli albertaseparation ableg
maxfawcett
maxfawcett Yes; and if all those dalmations want to be happy they should turn to the person who loves their fur so much, Cruella De Vil.
maxfawcett CPC_HQ jkenney PremierScottMoe BrianPallister She is the problem: In order for China to become the economic engine of the world. The western capitalist system must fall. Soros & Freeland 1:20.
maxfawcett NO! She is one of many stains on this country caused by Justin’s horrible government. The world does NOT respect this woman.
maxfawcett
maxfawcett Highly unlikely. She’s been bought and paid for.
maxfawcett What is it with you and your love affair with this homely soccer mom?
maxfawcett LPC will need to better then Freeland this article is nothing more then a campaign poster for she next
maxfawcett A swift kick in the snatch is what she needs
maxfawcett
maxfawcett Pure crap. Sounds like they're grooming her to take trudope 's place.
maxfawcett I am not trying to be rude, but Freeland is too cultured for Alberta's right to be accepted by them. I think convincing Ralph Goodale is only option that will give Liberal party some credibility in Alberta and SK. Give him natural resources file and make sure TMX is being built
maxfawcett If by 'powerful' you mean 'Soros-connected,' you are correct.
maxfawcett This is a real article. Wow.
maxfawcett
maxfawcett We have premiers here who are federalists. They were elected to represent us. They understand our frustration. Try speaking to them. The frustration with the federal government in Alberta is palpable.
maxfawcett Time to pull yur heads out of your butts ! Your biased Liberalism is showing
maxfawcett Justin can come himself in person and listen for a change and get an education in economics . The world will still be using Oil and Gas for decades and should be ours
maxfawcett Oh that will work lol ,this idiot couldn't negotiate a nickel off at a garage sale where she buys her outfits.
maxfawcett Just how bad do you need that bailout I can see selling your morals and soul for a paycheck .....but ...THIS!!!
maxfawcett Canadas ONLY foriegn minister to be banned from china AND THE WHITE HOUSE. The woman who screwed up the nafta agreements ( still unsigned by the u.s.) The woman who wore a ' screw trump' t shirt to an international meeting.
maxfawcett i just read this article and i am astounded at the stupidity. freeland has screwed up everything she has touched despite what she and the MSM claim. She would be worse than trudeau as PM.
maxfawcett hilarious!
maxfawcett Lawl, you mean the future liberal leader who spent much of her pre political life quoting Karl Marx?
maxfawcett No thanks. She can keep all that hail damage in Ottawa
maxfawcett Harper is from Toronto, Freeland is as much Albertan as Harper is Torontonian. Stupid idea. abpoli cdnpoli
maxfawcett This surely is parody. A downtown Toronto Liberal with NDP roots, a champion of Alberta? Because she has family in Alberta? This is really stretching credibility
maxfawcett What a Farce!!
maxfawcett 🤦♂️I don't think you understand this whole representation concept...
maxfawcett I vote Stephen Harper harperforthewest
maxfawcett “...born & raised in Peace River, & her paternal grandfather was a farmer who rode in the Calgary Stampede. Her mother even ran for office as a New Democrat in 1988 in the riding of Edmtn-Strathcona.” Farmers don’t “ride in the Stampede” & Albertans don’t resonate w NDP. Hello
maxfawcett Is this a joke Frèeland speaking for Albertans? NOT!!!
maxfawcett Butts tweeted that he has ties to Alberta, let's put him in cabinet to apease the Alberta menace. cdnpoli
maxfawcett Who the hell is that clueless dumkopf Max Fawsett?
maxfawcett “Never mind, for the moment, that the idea of Wstrn separation is fundamentally flawed, or that it would solve none of the problems (principally the restratn of the energy sector to its past glory) that its supporters like to pin on Confederation.” cluelessCdn
maxfawcett Out of touch.
maxfawcett Are you nuts?
maxfawcett No she a Trudeau butt kisser. We would never believe anything from her besides she complicit in the Liberal corruption. So no thanks.
maxfawcett No Liberal can save this situation.
maxfawcett Just plain sad!
maxfawcett Lol....must be Maclean's mag. so very clueless!
maxfawcett Talk about losing the plot. No wonder Macleans is going down the tubes. Hahahahahaha!
maxfawcett This is trolling. Freeland is loathed.
maxfawcett She would do the usual.... engage, engaging and more engaging. We know where this brought us all during the negotiations with the US... BTW, what happened with the Canadians prisoners in China?
maxfawcett New parody account?
maxfawcett 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
maxfawcett You really don’t get it.....that will just stoke the fires of separation......
maxfawcett So the person China doesn’t call back we should put in charge. Hilarious
onlyafewcows maxfawcett Not a hope in hell
maxfawcett You can’t be fn serious !
maxfawcett She probably has more sympathy for ukraine than for alberta
onlyafewcows maxfawcett Alison Redford, Freeland, Nenshi. These are the heroes to unite the West with the east? 😆😆😆 The establishment is even more clueless than we thought they were! wexit
maxfawcett I believe Albertans and Saskatchewans would like to have their chosen representatives consulted. jkenney PremierScottMoe Not someone handpicked by this train wreck of a government because Trudeau doesn’t want to face the consequences of his damaging governance.
maxfawcett LMAO she has failed at everthing she has negotiated globallly Maybe that would be a good thing for her to negotiate the next transfer payment on behalf of Ottawa That way Alberta will be happy
maxfawcett Do you know, Max, how many times we’ve heard that oil is on its way out? I’m personally on go-around 3 or 4 with that old chestnut. And: pipelines won’t increase the price of oil. Well actually they will, because they’ll eliminate the landlock discount that we currently accept
maxfawcett Fuck it might as well have Red Charles Adler or Alison Redford for all they know about Western anger.
maxfawcett Oh fawk. Is this comedy ?
maxfawcett Unfortunately she is as incompetent as turdeau
maxfawcett Ahahahaha... this is their 'top gun'? Trudeau's sending in his D team She couldn't negotiate her way out of a wet paper bag
maxfawcett Is this a joke. FreeNipples is useless
maxfawcett LMAO
maxfawcett Talk about absolutely tone deaf, Toronto-based frigging nonsense.
maxfawcett She literally represents University-Rosedale. But sure, go ahead. 🙄
maxfawcett That would make me separate immediately. Please do
maxfawcett I can't wait until she starts going on shows insulting western Canada while she is negotiating with them. With her record Alberta and Saskatchewan will have a deal in place to become US states before they vote to leave Canada.
maxfawcett The lefty MSM wants a female Prime Minister next time around and they're betting on Freeland.
maxfawcett Why does Macleans keep floating g ideas out for the Liberals? They are testing to see what sticks. NOTHING! TRUDEAU MUST RESIGN! ALBERTA INDEPENDANCE NOW!
maxfawcett Lol. What bad article. Totally disconnect from reality. Freeland is not one of us. She's a Trudeau minion.
maxfawcett How bout this stop fighting with conservatives over power and give a conservative a cabinet seat as they are toying with a coalition govt. Politics in Canada have become far too divisive and we are all losing.
maxfawcett Are you crazy Macleans?!
maxfawcett This must be a joke article, even Macleans couldn't be this stupid
maxfawcett oh, and a shout-out to Barack Obama (and Michelle) from Chrystia Freeland - Thanks for cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline -
maxfawcett great idea, ChrystyaFreela1 would appeal to a broad spectrum of Albertans given her family's roots
mini_bubbly maxfawcett Albertans need to rescue themselves from Kenney. If the electorate won't link the corporate tax break to their poverty then what could Freeland do? Hopefully after a few fork in the eye years with Kenney's failed economic policies, will demand change.
maxfawcett This magazine just sucks!
maxfawcett not a chance
maxfawcett Get serious
maxfawcett She has done a horrible job why would anyone think this incompetent liberal minister could do anything for Alberta.
maxfawcett Did she pay you to write this?
maxfawcett She outright refused to denounce Nazis.
maxfawcett I'm not sure the LPCs standard playbook, to send yet another emissary from Ottawa to Alberta to inform westerners that they aren't alienated, is going to work any better this time than the last. Freeland does make a more plausible ambassador than Stéphane Dion, but still ...
maxfawcett Pure garbage. The writer’s prejudice is obvious.
maxfawcett Westerners don’t identify with her as being from the West.
