Yea that’s my under standing as well. It’s all show. Part of a bigger picture right now.
In order for Alberta to separate they would need to convince all the provinces to agree and only after the province agree on what they get to walk away with. This isn’t happening.
They didn’t do a referendum. They found a loop hole. Very likely it was American influence like heritage foundation fixers that worked with them on this. Referendum historically fail. This is the Facebook mom groups type of bullshit

When they put this up for a vote and get 20% support, surely they’ll all go away right?
What I think will happen, is that the wording of the referendum question will be a barely readable word salad designed specifically to confuse. Votes will break into three groups: 1) coached to vote for seperatism 2) large random group with poor, or even moderately good, reading comprehension and 3) Can read good and want to stay. I believe that was done with the previous daylight savings referendum question.

it’s always refreshing to hear about some other country’s contingent of dumb bastards trying to ruin things instead of having to survey the smoking hellscape the dumb bastards in my own country have left.

They should go.
But they don’t get to take the land with them. They get bus tickets and they hand in their passports.

Nah this won’t go sideways.
Brexit anyone?
It will be 10x worse than Brexit.

america, and the funding for this will implode first
AFAIK this is a fringe piece of shit group that keeps getting free press. They should stop getting free press.
it is entirely a fringe piece of shit group - whose sedition is funded by yankees in an effort to destabilize Canada
I can hardly wait for the criminal charges that are going to follow this
You forgot the russia.
agreed 100%
Russia doesn’t care
Their whole foreign policy is focused on destabilizing foreign countries and governments. They are absolutely involved.
Not really. They’re interested in destabilizing America to further expand it’s interests.
Canada is more likely getting fucked by American and Chinese interests
Russia and U.S. amplifying Alberta separatist narratives to stoke division, distrust: report.

They never have, I have doubts its truly 20%. They have had to push hard for this and manipulate a lot.
