Wexit - Four western provinces breaking away from Canada!?!

I was shocked after our election when a group started up in Alberta want to separate from Canada!  I understand why the people in Alberta are upset but I didn't know why Saskatchewan and Manitoba are so upset.  I read a Facebook post from Cec's cousin and now I understand.  I am hoping our new government will listen to the people of the prairies and unite our country.

Red is our current government, blue and yellow is the opposition.
The "red" Liberals lost the popular vote and won the election!

Cec's cousin grew up on a farm, the second son of a large family.  He went to the University of Regina and in 2001 received a Bachelor of Applied Sciences - Electronic Systems Engineering degree.  He moved to Ottawa and began a career at Nortel Networks.  He was laid off during the recession and moved back to Regina becoming an Environmental Consultant in the oil industry.  During his career he started purchasing farmland.  In 2007 he became a full time farmer.  Here is his Facebook post:

Today I wonder if anyone else has that sinking feeling inside. A deep rooted fear/anxiety that my friends, family, and neighbours are facing even tougher times ahead.  Many people are already out of work and more lost their jobs today, commodity prices are lower due to international trade barriers, local businesses are closing down, and rural crime/theft is on the increase....we are seeing the economic collapse of our prairie provinces.

To top that off we now have to wonder if separation from Canada is the only solution. People that once laughed at the notion are now believing in it and speaking about it. I love Canada as do most Canadians, but where do we draw the line? The West won’t separate because they want to, rather because they have to...to survive...to be heard.  That’s what Quebec did and now they hold the power for all of Canada within one province during a minority government.

All this is happening and our federal government will not talk about it or try to rectify it. They could care less about what’s happening in the West or the unity of this country.  1/3 of Canadians support that sentiment and don’t care that our Prime Minister has spit in the faces of Canadians. He has been found guilty of multiple ethics violations, tried to break the law to buy votes in Quebec all in the name of jobs, wore racist outfits on several occasions, and made Canada a laughing stock internationally.

Now that I have that off my chest, I am going back to work in the field. To get some tough grain harvested before winter sets in. I will take that grain and pay to have it dried down. A price that I have to pay to ensure my crop does not spoil. A price that has climbed dramatically thanks to a carbon tax on fuels all while the price we receive for grain deteriorates even further. Less money in my pocket to spend at local businesses so they can keep their doors open. Thanks for nothing Trudeau.

Sincerely,
A Western Canadian Farmer
