00:00:00.000This was in the National Post yesterday, and I don't read the whole story.
00:00:03.320I don't care because I'm not a subscriber.
00:00:05.100But, you know, right there it says Canadians opened a negotiation with Western separatists as data shows under-representation in Parliament.
00:00:13.180And look at the line underneath there.
00:00:15.000Recent data shows Alberta remains under-represented in the House of Commons on a per capita basis.
00:00:20.360Folks, two, three things about this article.
00:00:23.860First of all, it shows that perhaps internal polling in Ottawa and other places are showing that the movement is maybe a little bit bigger because now we're seeing these kinds of pieces, right?
00:00:34.500There's always, you know, kind of like the five stages of grief kind of thing of this five, you know, at first they said the movement was fringed, then they attacked us and then they mocked us.
00:00:45.440And now maybe they're starting to realize, oh, there is some truth to that.
00:00:48.480So the fact that there's pieces like this coming out saying Ottawa is perhaps interested in some conversation shows that their internal polling proves that the movement is big.
00:01:00.540But the funny part was whoever did that article, like, come on, do your research, man.
00:01:04.340We've been underrepresented in the House of Commons since 1905, like by design.
00:01:16.380No, I'm not Alberta. Yeah. Anyways, I'm, you know, the number of seats we have and Saskatchewan, the last two provinces, compared to our population, compared to Ontario and Quebec, we're completely underrepresented.
00:01:32.020But even if we were properly represented, it still doesn't matter because we're outnumbered.
00:01:37.860You know, Ottawa or not Ottawa, Ontario and Quebec outnumber us like three, four to one.
00:01:43.060So we'll never we'll never get our way. Interesting article just shows that we're we're hitting on the on on some spots there.
