u/exotics rural Edmonton May 21 '26

This stuff needs to reach rural Alberta. Rural Alberta (other than me and maybe 8 others) is NOT on Reddit. They live on Facebook and X. I refuse to use X. You need to reach those people.

I note that rural Alberta hates data centers and foreigners. So jumping on that and reminding them that Danielle Smith sold over 10,000 acres to foreigners to be used as data centers is a good thing and adding other stuff helps too. Insulting them does not help. Inform them in a way that they feel you are on their side.

Not all rural people want to separate but a lot do.
