    Ottowa Liberals trying to make nice with a borderline socialist Mexican government over the heads of the Trumpists must be driving half of Alberta into seizures.

      I dunno. Whenever I see ‘separatist’ type polls out of ‘alberta’, the captions are almost always “this poll was done online, and we can’t actually verify that it was people from alberta responding. We can’t offer a confidence level in the data because it’s not a valid sample”.

      So how keen alberta actually is on ditching Canada is, to me at least, still really wobbly. Could easily just be US interests who own media pushing a message (with the support of Danielle, since she’s a US oil industry lobbyist).

        Oh sure. Same with the Texit folks. Any actual polls show maybe one in five people even consider it seriously, but you’ll have the governor pop a Confederate Flag out of his wheelchair any time a liberal suggests curbing the state’s litany of abuses.

        Its far more a “Fuck you! We’ll do it!” impulse response than an actual platform.
