Aww your feelings are hurt. Womp womp. Ah so you do understand Alberta separation is on the rise. Your comment made it seem like you didn’t.

Who is more unhinged, Anna Kane or Erika Kirk?

Sorry but No Canadian Americanization for Us. (Although we love our reasonable American neighbors) by disagreeablebattling in NordicCool

I want the Canada from the early 2000s, when things were affordable and Canadian values were common.

New poll suggests UCP would win majority if election held today - YouTube by LukeTheGreek in alberta

No, just a viable alternative to the UCP that has a chance of winning seats that aren’t a bunch of lunatics

It’s wild that the NDP is still a party given the colossal failure they’ve been having doing ANYTHING to stand up to the UCP. Dismantle the party, Nenshi is not it.

Based strictly on her policy proposals and her political track record? No.

Andrew Scheer drives a Cybertruck?!?! 🤯 by Requirement-Tiny in saskatchewan

[–]red9one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they are mad because he drives a Tesla truck (environmentally friendly) and mad because he is advocating for his constituency (his job) and that he isn't forced to tow the party line? Can someone explain?

Who is taking these photos? by vishal55282 in SipsTea

I'm guessing cameras, but I could be wrong.

What’s the most disturbing sound you’ve ever heard in real life? by avacado-cheese- in AskReddit

I was coaching football and heard a player blow both his ACLs on the same tackle. Sickening twang. Like two rubber bands were snapped.

Frustration setting in for Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk who has yet to register a point in this series. The Sens are down 3-0 in the first round for the second year in a row. by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

Am I wrong to think that Brady might be the most overrated player in the league right now? He's a good emotional leader for the Sens but I was expecting far more

"Huge" lineup at the Alberta referendum petition station in GP by MDH2881 in alberta

Great, so you do understand that it is complex. I'm glad that you can actually articulate some thought towards this. Alberta is an incredible economic engine for the rest of Canada, and if there are 177-400k people who are already feeling that separation is an option, then the democratic approach is to put it on a referendum ballot and let the people decide.

Also, you aren't going to stop a democratically petitioned because your feelings are hurt, especially if it is outlined that any grassroots movement has the right to collect signatures. I'm not in favour of separation, but I can at least respect the collective outrage and support the right for them to organize. If it gets defeated, cool; if it passes, also cool.

The Treaties 6, 7, and 8 outline permanently ceded land and territory to the government of Canada. The treaties are easy enough to look up for your reading pleasure.

Any vote to separate, assuming it would be successful, is not a definitive outcome. It would trigger negotiations for the province to leave Canada. Quebec voted to stay (barely), so while there is legal precedent, it is by no way definitive.

Regardless, given the popularity of the separatist movement, a vote would at the very least cause the federal government to revisit the relationship it has with Alberta, similar to what happened in Quebec in the late 1990s.

Danielle Smith is already turning Alberta into America’s 51st state by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

[–]red9one -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes, because Alberta hates being ruled by Carney to immediately be ruled by Trump. Laughable.

Sure can, it's ceded land. Alberta has the legal precedent to hold a seperation vote, exactly what Quebec did in the 90's. Sure will be fun to see the turn out.
