stick a fork in it

stick a fork in it

David Warren figures it is time to turn the lights out:

"We have committed suicide, as a nation. Outwardly, and immediately, the consequences of what we have done will be seen in much different areas. We must deal with the renewed demand for separation in Quebec, and much deeper alienation in the West, where people begin to realize that they have been permanently disenfranchised. We will endure the continuing bleeding of economic opportunity, as both capital and our most talented citizens migrate to better prospects in the United States and beyond."

Can't say as I disagree with him. I am a physicist and electronics engineer; I do research on artificial intelligence, I design and build robots and rockets. I'm pretty damn talented at what I do, too, even if I do say so myself. What is left for me in Canada? To be taxed more than half of what I earn, so that the Liberal party can steal it to fill their own coffers, with the complicity of the media? ... and then be told that I am an ignorant, racist, theocratic, backwards hick - simply because I am from Alberta - by those same Liberals and Toronto-centric media?

Staying in Canada, paying GST on every purchase I make, is the equivalent of "thank you sir, may I have another". What's the point?
