    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)

      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.

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

      Fixed it for you.

    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

      Is that their goal? I thought there is a small magatarian movement in Canada but I’m unsure if it’s condensed in Alberta

        Last time I looked at this, since I have some dumb family members who think the majority of Canadians want to join the states, it’s like a few k people total across Canada…and yes all of them are maga following idiots. No real majority in Canada wants to join or break away from Canada. It’s just a group maga idiots who these other maga morons keep bringing up like their is a mass movement…and yes the magas here in the states eat that shit up because they’re to fucking stupid to understand what propaganda is.

          You’re not a REAL sub-national political division of a North American English-speaking country unless the right wing is agitation for your succession or partition.

          (See: Texas, Oregon, California, upstate NY, and probably Quebec. Not to mention a bunch of others I’m too Yankee to know and some very-old instances like Vermont that helped the USA get from 13 to 50.)

          Makes sense that American magatarians would to try perpetuate that then. Russia did that shit when they invaded Ukraine. Sorry for perpetuating that tactic
