Here's a simple way to answer:
is this going to increase or decrease demand for oil?
That should answer your question. Decreased demand = lower price = more supply = lower canadian currency = Harper is an idiot

So basically what I'm gathering from all this is the United Kingdom is no more? Scotland and Ireland are separating... Holy Shit man.
This is fucking nuts. Cameron fucked up big time

I don't think Britain leaves.
I think it's more likely Cameron resigns, elections are held and both major parties post anti-Brexodus platforms. Those angry will vote for UKIP and the SNP.
Wrong - wrong - right.

Well after the effect of the result hits the papers, you'd hope people will have a change of heart. Conservatives should be destroyed for this.

As someone who has not been following this at all... what are the actual implications if they do separate

Cameron will be, for sure. Leave seems to draw somewhat evenly from across party lines, which makes me think both major parties will suffer in the short-term, rather than just one.
edit: CNN's coverage of this is terrible.
Just watch the Last Week Tonight segment on it lol

Oh cool. I was unaware he did a segment on it. Will do then
time to fly to London on Vacation it is!
cause it dropped 12 cents? or am I reading that wrong?
It's dropped about 15%.
e.g. everything UK/pound-related just got 15% cheaper. Or compared to the US, all of the UK just lost 15% of their wealth.
so if you're planning to go to London, everything is now 15% cheaper!
(e.g. a hotel night that used to cost you 100USD now only costs you 85USD)

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The real shame is it's going to torpedo the world markets, keep the US far more military committed in Europe and break up the EU which will undo a generation of economic progress since reconstruction.

Old people are the worst
technically it hasn't passed because of the referendum, the parliament still has to approve
Can't believe it passed.
it's possible they back out because of the economic collapse but who knows
Yeah, that's true. Going to be interesting to see what happens.
The Canadian dollar will gain compared to the pound
compared to everything else? Unlikely to have much impact
The Canadian stock market, on the other hand...

The Brexit is pretty much what me and a good number of folks on a discord I'm in have been talking about. It's such a surreal moment that I don't think a lot of us expected.
This is the telltale sign that we're likely going to see an independent Scotland by the end of the decade.
I expect the EU to make it out of this storm, albeit with significant repercussions. The UK however, is utterly fucked.
Also no way Scotland will remain in the UK, just look at this map:
Scotland UNANIMOUSLY voted "remain", so if the UK is leaving there's no way Scotland wants to be any part of that.

Canadians seem very interested in Fowler. We'll reluctantly take Subban.
I like that Schuey posted right after this
Canadians or Canadiens?
Edit: Just saw Dreger's tweet, I have a very hard time seeing Bergevin giving up our pick for Fowler, especially when he wants to move up in the draft.
Hehe

This meme just keeps going places
Crying Jordan will be on all our tombstones
Really ironic of Schuey to be for Remain considering he was for Canada's bid to separate itself from the British Empire.
Lol

Probably best to send all the money in it to me to be safe
Old people are the worst
Good lord. And yeah, Scotland will leave.
The UK is fucked.
Are you a Nigerian Prince by chance?
you got it! it's just money anyway.
Florida is basically Africa anyway
It's probably best not have all your money in one place. I can take care of it for you.
Northern Ireland is also talking reunification with Ireland (and thus withdrawal from the UK and a return to the EU).
And French and Dutch right wing parties are calling for exit referendums of their own.
Basically the UK has just fucked the entire political balance of Western Europe in the span of a single night.

What a simp
It's funny because they're one of the biggest benefactors of the EU.
And by funny I mean really fucking dumb.
Meanwhile Switzerland still sits in the middle, smug as fuck because we've never been in the EU in the first place, watching the world burn around us.... Again.
Buddy of mine just arrived here on vacation from the UK.....he hasn't gotten CDN currency yet, hah
Slightly different topic. Roommate of a friend is apparently sought after by police. They want to arrest him. Most importantly, they're trying to track down his laptop.....
...has to be child porn, right? Why else would they be so interested in his laptop? Note: he isn't smart enough to be involved in the dark net or anything like that.

Darn autocorrect. I mean, it's right but didn't know the context. LES HABITANTS
Not sure I really want to see Fowler go for anyone, has to be a an overpayment on someone's part. I liked that he used to live with Scott Niedermayer his rookie year and on an affordable contract.
