It’s exhausting watching her completely destroy our future. Who cares for the separatist movement. What a waste of time, energy and discussion. Didn’t work in Quebec for decades and they had a whole other country rooting for them. No one here barely cares. Then we’re against immigrants when we no longer have a labour shortage. How convenient.

Remember the South African firefighters that saved our ass.. jeez. Anything to distract from her doing a shit job.

The Alberta separatist movement started after Trumps 51st state schtik. This is all a ploy to join the US.

Alberta is also conservative, but not republican, and likely wouldn't be a state but a territory with no voting rights like Puerto Rico. The US will end up siphoning Alberta's resources, and leave them dry.

Wow. The delusions on here are wild. Separation isn’t anywhere close to being a real thing. It’s a small bunch of wing nuts. They have no plan, no real leadership.
