Saskatchewan separatists are now openly arguing that independence would make the province wealthier, and the movement has grown more organized, more vocal, and—according to experts—angrier than in past cycles. Global News

What the separatists are claiming

The Saskatchewan Prosperity Project (SPP), led by Brad Williams, is touring the province with a simple message: Saskatchewan would be more prosperous as its own country. Their core claims include:

• Fairer representation — They argue Ottawa chronically ignores Saskatchewan’s interests. Global News
• Lower taxes & budget surpluses — Williams says Saskatchewan “should not be in any position other than having a surplus” and that taxes are “way too high” under Confederation. CBC
• Control over natural resources — Many supporters believe independence would allow Saskatchewan to fully control extraction, pipelines, and revenue. Global News
• Cultural and freedoms concerns — Some members fear federal overreach threatens provincial culture and personal freedoms. Global News
• Potential union with Alberta — If Alberta votes to leave, some in the SPP want a joint Alberta–Saskatchewan nation. Global News

All these fools think the federal taxes they pay would just go away/ Police, defence, hospital and infrastructure funding would appear from nowhere.
PPL, just dissolve your legislatures and revert to territories and you'd have no prvoncial income or sales tax at all.....

Wahh my street is treated unfairly = we should separate and save income, sales, property and service taxrs

The moment reality comes in contact with this spin it disintegrates. The problem is these proponents of fantasy are not in any way required to do so. That must change in order for these voices to participate in society.
