It's surprising to me that separatists in Quebec and Alberta don't understand land title
Is it willfull blindness or stupidity?

Let's walk through this:
Alberta separates;
Crown land title is extinguished;
Indigenous land title remains;
Non-indigenous Albertans don't own land or resources;
The Alberta territory tries to raise an army and police force to take the the land, but has no money

Transfer pricing:
Put export tariffs on oil, gas, minerals and electricity
Then sell tariff free quotas from each province
Quota purchases are not tariffed; commodity prices will drop, dropping effective tariffs
This is clearly beyond the competence of our politicians

We also have to remember that members of political parties on both left and right become less open to new ideas as they age
#UBI #CitizenDividend from a 1% #LandTax was a great idea 140yrs ago from Henry George et al, studies prove it, yet both sides resist

I've had a very different experience becoming more open to new ideas as I age
Openness, curiosity and intelligence are required to explore new ideas; these attributes usually diminish as we age

Seth,
We work with numerous climate organizations and indigenous groups that are pushing for incremental progressive policies
How can we submit policies to your Society to help move things forward
(E.g. ConnectDER for homes; water rental fees shared with indigenous peoples; many more)

Apparently, Marijuana reduces sperm count
So do microplastics
Workplaces are structurally designed to inhibit fertility and caregiving
Why is anyone surprised with reduced birthrates?

Everyone has a "money story" that informs how they deal with the most abstract story (currency)
It's useful framing to think of money as a tool (Swiss army knive) that can do many things
A #CitizenDividend funded through a 1% #LandTax would provide every child and adult with basic tools

Ira Wells of @thewalrus.ca is correct, we need more national institutions
Army corps of engineers could build transmission interties, electrify remote communities (allowing for water treatment facilities)
National wildfire service too, all included in our NATO spend

If the goal is to oppose Republicans on everything, we understand
If the goal is to win mid-terms, then letting Republicans own 100% of failures over 2 years may be better

Hydrogen is to light/tiny/volatile to be stored
Why not use chemical or kinetic energy as storage?
Have you heard of quantum tunneling?

Trump could ask Japan to repatriate Sakhalin island (Karafuto)
Watch Putin and Xi arrange for a cease fire immediately

. One letter from a small regional Ainu group can hardly be called representative of all Ainu people.
There is no request for direct intervention or assistance in seceding from Japan, only a request for autonomy within Russia and bilateral environmental cooperation with Japan.

When I referred to the Russian "empire" I was referring not just to the current Putin regime, but to the existence of a single centralized state from Karjala to Karafuto that is ruled from Moscow.

For Asia, we have:
Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Sakha Republic, Tajikistan, Afghanistan (shortly), Buryatia, Altai Republic, Khakassia, Republic of Tuva, various Tunguskic peoples like the Evenki people, parts of Japan (Karafuto Island and the Chishima Islands), and others...

If China were to get Haishenwai and Outer Manchuria back I'd want Japan to get Sakhalin and the Kurils (sorry, Karafuto and Chishima) so as to maintain the integrity of the "first island chain".

Think of a copper mine with a limited ore body with surplus refining capacity
If the mine purchases copper ore from another mine, it can continue to refine copper, yet it has a trade deficit with the other mine
Goods > money, this is the basis of all trade and all markets
