Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney compared Alberta’s vote on whether to move toward independence to Brexit, calling it a potential “dangerous bluff.”
Yeah, I don’t like that Carney is framing this as dangerous, because that suggests it’s possible. It’s like the toddler in the back seat threatening to crash the car; that’s not dangerous, it’s just them acting like a child.
Dangerous because Alberta has a volatile economy based on tar, and farming, both heavily subsidized by federal government although Albertans will deny that.
I mean, that’s pretty obviously not what he’s talking about here. It doesn’t even fit the context. What you’re saying would argue that it’s dangerous for Alberta to stay.
I’m not disagreeing with your characterization of Alberta’s economy, but trying to shoehorn that in as an interpretation of Carney’s statement is just bonkers.
