The editor:
We are hearing more and more of the Wexit movement and their objective of gaining provincial party status.
While I understand their frustrations with the federal government, there are very serious questions Wexit needs to answer.
What happens to old age security, the Canada Pension Plan, social insurance numbers, passports, RCMP policing, those on unemployment/disability insurance, tax-free saving accounts, RRSPs, AGinvest, AgriStability, crop insurance, federal transfer payments for health and infrastructure, shipment of commodities (CP Rail and CN Rail), mail delivery – the list goes on.
I find it ironic that provincial Wexit votes will indirectly support Ryan Meili’s NDP with the Leap Manifesto, anti-oil and anti-pipeline policies, the very ideology Wexit is against. Think about it folks, and remember who got elected in Alberta when the Wild Rose Party split the vote with the Progressive Conservatives.
