It is time to face the fact that the USA has all the freedom, job prospects, and investment capital that the people and industry of Alberta could ever want. 

Canada, by comparison, will soon take even MORE wealth away from the youthful, highly skilled, and well-educated labour force of Alberta.  This is because Ottawa must use it to subsidize the massive aging populations in Eastern Canada that are on the verge of retirement. 

While the rest of Canada will soon experience a deepening shortage of workers and an ever-shrinking tax base, the cost to cover the pension and health care expenses of Ontario and Quebec will be staggering.

As a result, Albertans will be FORCED by the Government of Canada to suffer even more tax, more debt, more industrial regulations, which will result in more unemployment. 

There is no scenario in which we in Alberta can remain within Confederation, and not see a PAINFUL decline in both our job prospects and our quality of living. 

Simply put, Canada is on the verge of disaster, and is threatening to drag Alberta down with it.  Yet we can still avoid this fate.  Unless we want the Alberta Advantage to be lost forever, the time to leave and to join the USA is NOW.
