      Also the Alberta separatist movements are backed by American oil companies Russian front groups.

      Fixed it for you.

      Yup. Also, Alberta separates, then the US refuses to buy the oil unless we become a state.

      For a bunch of union members, oil workers sure don’t seem to get the concept of unity.

        It would be tough to go it on your own when you are land locked. Would Albertans vote Republican? Like they are probably closer to Democrats in values, but being the arguably most conservative part of Canada would they identify as Republicans?

          We’re the most backwards redneck province. At least, outside the cities. It’s basically conservatives all around expect the 2 major cities.

    Sharing a border with an aggressive neo colonizer that is actively looking to snatch resources and create 51st states… Now is a great time to secede from your nation

      USA for sure, with Russia’s hand up its ass and a lot of rich evil people supporting it so they don’t have to care about things or people or animals while they rape and pillage the earth at our expense. They’ve tried to spread all over Canada but have only found root in Alberta, for… Reasons.

    Albertian independence is absurd and highly unlikely, urban Albertans have every reason to oppose while rual Albertans mostly dont care.

      Oh the rural people in Alberta also think this is stupid. Just the same people who are pushing this are the same small few that did parades about how the WHO and UN are controlling us though poisoned water, then the covid convoy, then the “Albertan” Republican party and now this. Its a bunch of useful idiots that are very clearly now getting us funding.

      The best part is that this plebiscite was started by a group that wants to stay in Canada and knew this would be taken up by these wackados. The question is does Alberta want to stay in Canada, and the legal result should put an end to this separatist nonsense. (I mean come on we are at least 1000km to the nearest ocean, maybe if the idea was BC and Alberta sure but even then the treaties kinda stop this)

    More like a 17 year old who has an offer that totally isn’t going to disappear her into a sex trafficking ring, but she’s been told sooooo many great stories about how her life will be that it just must turn out great, right?

    Right?
