      Honestly, not really.

      That 25% includes both the shitstain separatists who have always been here, as well as the none-too-bright “send Ottawa a message!” idiots who wouldn’t actually vote for separation.

      For decades I’ve heard numbers of 5-15% of the province are actively separatists. Seems pretty consistent.

    With more than 1.5m votes counted, 76% supported remaining in Canada

    Wow. Crushing defeat for the russian-funded bot networks. Still, that it would get this far is a warning shot.

    No they didnt, because Alberta is full of fucking idiots who voted yes to the other 9 which had some super bullshit racist questions that all were soaked in seperatist dreck

    This went exactly as intended for them. My disappointment is immeasurable.

      CBC has ‘Yes’ leading on the other 9 questions, and that’s the answer MAGA-types prefer on all of them, so maybe not a completely reasonable outcome.

      I was incredibly stressed about this.

      Especially with the voter list leaks, the mail in voting issues, and then yesterday I was hearing voting stations were opening late and running out of ballots.

      Just too much fuckery, but I’m happy people got out there and dealt with the lines and issues and voted.

    Albertans also voted in favour of five racist questions, and four ‘stick it to the east’ ones as well. It wasn’t that proud of a day for this province.
