Blatantly funded by the US. Where are all the “foreign interference!!!” Conservatives now? How is this legal??

    Not going to happen. Plus, I’ve read that most of those that do want to separate don’t want join the US.

    Even IF the people of Alberta vote in favour of leaving Canada it still has to be approved by Parliament, and that is not happening at this time with the current seat counts for each party.

    I have lived in Calgary, Alberta for over 20 years. I don’t know a single person who would want to leave Canada. I also know that Alberta would not stand a chance alone. We DEPEND on the federal government for funding and other Provinces for goods. We’re land locked and have next to no manufacturing.

      Votes aren’t looking like they’re going to mean anything in the US anymore. Don’t be too confident they’re going to respect any vote in Alberta.

      I believe behind the scenes, it’s got the smell of Trump.

      That’s the fun part, once the US separates you from Canada, you don’t get a choice about whether you want to join the US anymore, because your collapsing economy leaves you no choice. Divide and conquer, literally.

        Hopefully those that would vote to separate know this …

        IF on the off chance it happens there will be a mass exodus. I’d be moving to British Columbia in a heart beat.

          Fully agree, we will be looking into moving the day after the vote results are announced

          Look at Brexit. Many people look no further than what’s on their Facebook feeds, making it quite easy to sway a referendum that fucks over a whole populace.

            It amazes me that after seeing that complete shitshow that was Brexit that provincial separatists are like “Yea, this is exactly what we want and need to work towards”. Bottom of the cesspool bottom feeders the lot of them.

            Je dirige tout autant mes critiques acerbes vers les séparatistes québécois.
