What is “”?
Huh?

I am astounded! Alberta is already trying to dumb down their population, as the USA did. Alberta is trying to privatize health care, as the USA. Seriously?? This is what you want?

please go.
All paid for by the USA
Which in turn is paid for by Russia
And we still allow it all to happen

please go.
Yay brexit!
But without the diversified economy… Or their own currency… Or warm water ports… Or any water ports…

So, what about First Nations? Are you going to vote away their land??
So, what about First Nations?
The separatists don’t concern themselves with “minor details” like that.

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

I suspect there is a very large overlap between separatists and racists who don’t consider the first nations to have a valid claim over anything.

I’m kind of in favor of throwing every one of the traitors over the southern border by the seat of their useless pants.
The problem is that people are stupid. Anyone who lives on top of oil is going to eventually feel like they’re uniquely entitled to said oil. Unless they’re on fire or oil prices drop…then they’ll temporarily turn into communists.

please go.
Before everyone gets their knickers in a twist, no, the referendum question has not been approved. The application has been approved. Now they have to collect the necessary signatures. What has collected the necessary signatures and been validated by Elections Alberta is the opposite motion, “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?” By law, this has to go either to a vote in the Legislature (which is extremely unlikely) or a referendum within six months. Many people believe the UCP willl call an election rather than a referendum, as all referendum questions die when an election is called.

Wouldn’t an actual referendum to secede require like 1.4 million votes?
Nevermind how Alberta doesn’t legally own the vast majority of land within it’s borders.

30% was all Dougie needed for a majority in Ontario…
Elections have electoral districts, which is how first-past-the-post really does its damage, through gerrymandering and gaming the system for just enough votes in each district. Does the same hold true for a referendum or is that a simple tally of all provincial votes (ie, electoral districts don’t matter)

Huh?
Idk, you tell me what this looks like 200B is…

please go.
In order to be accessible to most Albertans, is the question just a crayon drawing of two cousins fucking on a horse with an arrow pointing away?
