In this podcast interview, I spoke with Fergus Hodgson on the economic state of Western Canada (bleak) and the prospect for Western independence (growing).
Hodgson is the Director of Econ Americas is a columnist for the Epoch Times He is also the roving editor of Gold Newsletter and a research associate with the Frontier Centre for Public Policy.
A bright and busy man who had a lot to say not the state of affairs in Canada and where we are headed.
Our economy is reeling and equalization is stunting the development of the entire nation.
An informative conversation.

It was an honor to chat with you, Cory!

Thanks Fergus, greatly appreciated. You were dead on with the exception of the Western Standard.

[@FergusHodgson]

Whether you are a fan of Derek personally or not, the WS is a key outlet promoting Albertan independence.

I wish all people talk about how to work through the Clarity Act & it’s costs etc.

[@vincewhite5087]

Educate your people on the clarity Act & steps.

[@vincewhite5087]

Still need to talk about the Clarity Act. This is the federal law after Quebecs attempt & the SCOC decision that no province has the right to separate. There is a very lengthy process that is at the control of Ottawa.

[@vincewhite5087]

Alberta separatist last year were hoping Trump would save us. Now we need to educate ourselves on Clarity Act & push Kenny to do this next after referendum on equl.

[@vincewhite5087]

Lots people I talk to think its a cheque.

East coast fishing & East coast fishing

[@vincewhite5087]

Reason Trans Mountain was bought because the Federal govmnt was on the hook for delay penalties.

[@vincewhite5087]

You can’t now separate. Its been settled. Long process now. It doesn’t matter how many separatists you elect.

Cory, you have to dump your advocacy for line 5. Let them shut it down. No more f'ing around, it's time for K-bec and Morontario to pay. Shut down line 5 and let the 5-6000 people be laid off to survive their fate. They'd do it to us, why in the hell aren't we doing it to them. Eastern Canada wanted to F A F O and now they're about to eat it. Let them. Please.

[@vincewhite5087]

We are land bound as well & our pipelines are closing & no help from Biden. Clarity Act makes it impossible almost. You guys haven’t read the federal law now.

As long as Albertans can't speak french... I don't care about them. They must pay for what they did to us, in Québec. Alberta don't care about Canada... So we don't care about them. Until you do your own referendum... PAY YOUR DUE, ALBERTA!

[@FergusHodgson]

If you only care about French speakers, leave Canada! Open your eyes: the vast majority of Canadians do not speak French and never will. There is no "due." Albertans owe nothing to Quebec.
