      I was curious about how this will pan out, and found this:
      https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2025/11/05/Has-Alberta-Separatism-Gone-Mainstream-Common-Ground/

      About 30 per cent of Albertans support or somewhat support the idea of separation, while most do not. This figure fluctuates but hasn’t changed substantially since 2019.

      The conclusion from our research is clear: the typical Albertan doesn’t want to separate but gets why others do. Supporting separatism isn’t mainstream, though being curious about it is. The bridge between those viewpoints is not a long one.

                I’m more worried that they’ll be “aquired” by another nation, and suddenly BC is cut off from the rest of Canada and we have a new unsecured land border with far too much infrastructure.

                  I’m kind of in favor of throwing every one of the traitors over the southern border by the seat of their useless pants.

                    You can get a quarter of the population to vote for basically anything.

                      I’d love to see the malcontents just leave. Nothing’s stipping them from moving south like they all seem to want to.

                      It’s not like they can just walk off with the land. Most of it is treaty land

                        The number goes down below 10 when asked if they’d want to separate if the Conservatives had won the federal election. They’re just angy at the libs. When push comes to shove they will vote it down.

                          As an Albertan, I would do the same - but charge them for the ride.

                            There is no independant state. The choice is be part of Canada or be part of the US, and I’m not sure what in Trump’s record make people think he would treat Canadians any better than Russia treats Ukranians

                              If they want to become Americans so bad, they can always move South and apply for citizenship.

                              What they can’t do, is take the land with them.

                                    Referendums and the specific topic is a bit different. But I think looking at Trump and America should make people very wary of what having 30% of the population as fanatics can do.

                                      It gets more worrying

                                      I would like to hear a firsthand experience on the last point however.

                                          Thank god that first-past-the-post could give 39% or less full control of the provincial government.
