Thank you for the link. I have watched and will continue to so I can learn more about the reasons.

This reminds me of when I lived in northern Ontario. They built an Ontario run casino. The few times I went into it, most of the customers were elderly who just looking for an activity. I’d hear stories of how they would lose their savings to gambling. Then I heard how casino profit sharing took the money out of our community. I’d visit Toronto and be frustrated that my city was funding programs in the area that seemed to already have so much.

This story is not me voicing my support. It is only a small example of how a well intentioned decision can inadvertently have winners and losers.

I am disappointed in Canada. A province should never want to be independent.

Why should a province never be independent as a country? That is like saying that you don't believe in divorce in even the most extreme cases. If the man beats her and abuses her to the point of near death should she stay? Yes, I am likening the province to an abused wife as the similarities are very real.

Our black eye is the interest bearing fiat that we we use for our infrastructure. It's bloody and will take a while to stop smarting.

As Rogers Smith said, "We can't get a divorce cause we are not even married!".

So then there is that. However that is a topic for a total different day!
