    Danielle Smith should be more independent and just leave. She does not need to take any of our good citizens with her.

    Interesting. Really hedging their bets on oil, gas and coal remaining a dominant industry over the long term huh? Not exactly a bet I would personally take but if they wanna go it’s their funeral.

    I have a feeling that Russia has been promoting this bullshit.

    Same as with Greenland. First sow the propaganda, let it stew for a few years so there’ll be a population online of any given locals that actually bought the bullshit. Usually very vocal teenagers who think they’re being smart or something, but are actually lending credibility to Russian propaganda.

    Then if and when it gets to the point there’s enough internal conflict… it can end up like Ukraine.

    Although obviously that’s not as likely with Greenland or Alberta, they’re not out of reach of Russia, surely.

      Indian bots kept pushing Singh as woke and not worker focused despite him being the opposite

      It makes sense for Russia to try to break us up because they claim our Arctic and were successful with Brexit

    SK has bigger proportion in favour. Ontario has more secessionists “only if liberals form government” than Alberta.

        Just reporting on your poll, Adolph. Impolite to call anti nazi demonic war as pro Russian.

    A large majority

    25 to 30%

    So really, a large minority then.

    Edit: I am confused indeed.

      You have it backwards

      That’s the % that are pro-separation

      70% are against it

        Maybe they’re confused as to who the 70% are?
        Maybe they’re thinking that polls aren’t as indicative of public opinion as they’re made out to be?
        Who knows
