Political and economic instability of Canada

Canada continues to commit to foreign aid at the behest of Canadian concerns. Gas prices steadily rise, and on top of aid to Ukraine Carney has just committed 120 million dollars to Sudan amid their 4-year civil war.

The kindness of Canadians is being exploited by our leadership in ways that has caused nationwide frustrations. A side effect of the last 10 years of leadership has been that now Alberta will be voting to become its own independent nation separate from Canada as a whole. A province has not wanted to leave Canada for over one hundred years, the first time being during the 19^th century, and a motion for it by Alberta the same province occurred in 1974.

This movement displays the political and economic instability of Canada as a whole, in which many provinces are not pleased with the state of things and are doing something about it.

Every province has the right to vote to separate from the larger body of Canada, the process involves a lengthy voting process, in which a large number of residents from said province must agree before the separation can officially occur.

However, it remains to be seen if Canada will allow Alberta to leave as they have in previous years made it extremely difficult for provinces to opt for their own independence. This also leaves questions as to how Alberta would function as its own country, and whether they would simply be swallowed up by our neighbouring nation America.

While Canada does possess a large number of resources and airable land, the sum is greater than its parts, and what Alberta needs may in fact be in another province for its functions.

International trade will come into play with its surrounding provinces and sanctions and taxes may inflate prices for Alberta residents raising the cost of goods and living expenses even further, such as gas which is already overwhelming people all over the world, not just in Canada.

How would this nation interact with Canada, its former parent country, and what would be its approach to collaboration with America? These are questions that need to be answered, and we would discover very quickly if this split did indeed happen.

If the separation is successful, how many other provinces will then opt to do the same? The lower provinces have a better opportunity to vote for independence as they are closer to our neighbour and can connect with the United States more readily for trade and travel, America could also make a bid to incorporate these provinces as additional states into their fold. President Trump has made comments regarding Canada becoming a part of America many times, and a province gaining independence would be a wonderful opportunity for America to pick apart Canada piece by piece until it is full incorporated into the foreign country.

With the instability of the world currently, but more specifically Canada, many people do not know what they can expect in terms of living in the next 10-15 years, and we are continuing to feel the effects of poor decisions that are rocking us to the core. The rising housing prices and the cost of living were just the beginning, after all our Prime Minister continually tells us to get use to a lower class of living, and that is just bad leadership.
