Again, Really? Wexit - or the "Prairie Plug"?

Don't we have enough on our plates right now without this annoying Wexit nonsense? Apparently the folks at Abacus polling had too much time on their hands and decided to stir the dying embers.

Nationally, only 7 per cent think Wexit is a good idea. Well, duh.

That number soars to a blistering 20 per cent in Alberta where another 26 per cent say they "could live with it." The remaining 54 per cent think it's a "terrible idea." So that makes it No by a 54 to 20 per cent margin.

Normally I wouldn't pay any attention to this Wild Rose lunacy. There's just one thing. Team Wexit are pitching a fracturing of Canada at the Ontario-Manitoba border.

Wait a minute!!!

They think they're going to set up a new country, presumably governed out of Edmonton, made up of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and, my province, British Columbia.

What makes those delusional arseholes think B.C. wants in on their plan? We're not overly fond of Alberta to begin with. And why, as the most populous of their quartet of provinces, would we want to carry a disproportionate share of the clean up of a province that's one giant Love Canal?

If Alberta and Saskatchewan did vote to secede I could imagine British Columbia deciding to go it alone.  Wexit might turn into a forlorn "Prairie Plug" with the marriage of Alberta and Saskatchewan all dressed up and nowhere to go.

Manitoba would have to choose between Ontario and Canada to the east and the landlocked Prairie Plug on the other side.  Manitoba might stand to gain - big time - just not with Alberta and Saskatchewan.
