    Lmao the tiny minority of Albertans who want to separate are now making more demands. Almost as if you can’t give fringe groups an inch or they’ll ask for a mile.

    That said, Alberta can do much better than Smith for a Premier.

        25% is a “tiny minority” when the question voted on was “yes or no” statistically. It would appear even smaller when it was reported that if it had been a binding the “yes” vote to leave would have been closer to 10%. However I see your point and I am just happy that the voters of Alberta didn’t go down the asinine path of separatism.

        Oh, the number I was thinking of was 7% of the total voting poluace. I think I heard it on a Fifth Estate bit about the Alberta seperarist movement. I didn’t realize the referendum “Leave” numbers were that high…

        The separatists should leave Canada. They should go to one of the fucked countries Israel, Russia, North Korea and the worst of all America.

          I want them to leave so bad, I just don’t want them to be replaced by some other monoculture.

          Well, she’s a typical Conservative idiot. She held a referendumb no one wanted , with barely 43% turnout, and she then alienated the Separtists by her non support, and the non-separatists saying it was all a waste of time.

          The real winners are the racists keeping brown people out of Alberta.

                Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario all regularly speak to their American counterparts. Is it only wrong if you don’t like the admininstration?

                  They did not speak with an American funded Think tank focused on succession like she did. This is just a bad faith argument. Even my concervative father finds it laughable that the alberten cons are turning on her for “not supporting sepratists” when quote “thats all she ever talk about”

                  Did they meet to overthrow Canada? Did they meet with the likes of Shark tank billionaire boy wonder? Are they trying to hide the fact that they went to mara lago to meet secretly with fascists? Did they make a “deal” to give away strategic resources to a foreign government? I think not. Try again.

              No, you are right. She’s very clever at playing both sides. Her actions betrayed her though.
