Alberta has basically zero legitimacy to leave Canada, for the simple reason that it never joined Canada in the first place.
Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and PEI were the original provinces to form the Canadian confederation. Together, they acquired the Northwest Territories from the British and then began organizing it into new provinces. Alberta was literally carved out of Canadian territory, for administrative purposes.
They should go.
But they don’t get to take the land with them. They get bus tickets and they hand in their passports.

Basically every population “transfers” ever.
Trade ya, our normals for your deranged. America becomes the disgusting hell hole the conservatives want and actual people get to go live in places that aren’t horrific.
I would support my taxes paying for bus tickets to a trailer park in Odessa Tx.
God I would fucking love if somebody bussed a bunch of immigrants into Texas, they did it multiple times to my state and somehow dipshits here got mad at literally everyone but Texas or the Republican party.
Texas would not mind cause dey white.
AFAIK this is a fringe piece of shit group that keeps getting free press. They should stop getting free press.
It’s gets Press because half our news is US owned.
it is entirely a fringe piece of shit group - whose sedition is funded by yankees in an effort to destabilize Canada
I can hardly wait for the criminal charges that are going to follow this
Our media is so shit, including CBC. The top stories should be:
Why was the interim PC leader after the last election a US citizen?
Why did the 2022 trucker convoy have Poilievre for PM flags, when he wasn’t even party leader for another 6 months?
Why is Jamil Jivani in Washington during trade talks, when he has a history with running a fake charity in Ohio with JD Vance?
completely agree on all points
You forgot the russia.
agreed 100%
Russia doesn’t care
Their whole foreign policy is focused on destabilizing foreign countries and governments. They are absolutely involved.
Not really. They’re interested in destabilizing America to further expand it’s interests.
Canada is more likely getting fucked by American and Chinese interests
They are our neighbour in a contested and highly strategic space: the Arctic. We are a middle power with an economy as big as theirs and as much land. We are allied with their (previous and current) adversaries, part of 5eyes, and freeze oligarch assets.
We are growing, they are shrinking.
They are more interested in us than most other targets.
Russia and U.S. amplifying Alberta separatist narratives to stoke division, distrust: report.
Fuck russia.
China’s fucking you too just in different ways
Probably by US support to pressure Canada
Yep. This is known.
Yea that’s my under standing as well. It’s all show. Part of a bigger picture right now.
In order for Alberta to separate they would need to convince all the provinces to agree and only after the province agree on what they get to walk away with. This isn’t happening.
They didn’t do a referendum. They found a loop hole. Very likely it was American influence like heritage foundation fixers that worked with them on this. Referendum historically fail. This is the Facebook mom groups type of bullshit
Alberta is full of ironically named think tanks funded by US Foundations.
Canada allows its political Not for Profits to hide where they get money from. Why is the Canadian Federation of Taxpayers (who don’t pay tax), refusing to reveal how they are funded?
Why did they alter their Wikipedia page that mentioned support from the Kochs and Atlas Foundation?
See this is where protests should be happening. Should be demanding these things they try to hide get dragged into the open. Fucking if we see this we fight until it is dragged into the sunlight.
I want to know why multiple Liberal governments ignore this issue, but China bad.
Not for profits in Canada should have 100% open and transparent accounting or lose their status.
I’m interested in your point about non profits what’s the context there::: spoiler spoiler
When they put this up for a vote and get 20% support, surely they’ll all go away right?
…right?

They never have, I have doubts its truly 20%. They have had to push hard for this and manipulate a lot.
What I think will happen, is that the wording of the referendum question will be a barely readable word salad designed specifically to confuse. Votes will break into three groups: 1) coached to vote for seperatism 2) large random group with poor, or even moderately good, reading comprehension and 3) Can read good and want to stay. I believe that was done with the previous daylight savings referendum question.
it’s always refreshing to hear about some other country’s contingent of dumb bastards trying to ruin things instead of having to survey the smoking hellscape the dumb bastards in my own country have left.
Alberta has always been the Florida of Canada.
sympathies. I know the raging shit show in the US only feeds their madness.
Nah this won’t go sideways.
Brexit anyone?
Brexit had the support of the majority, at least in the referendum.
This has the support of ~20% of the province’s pop. at max. Not to mention how awkward it would be to end up with a rectangle for a country in the middle of North America.
The only way Alberta gets separated from Canada is through American annexation. In neither case will it remain independent.
It will be 10x worse than Brexit.
it wont get that far
america, and the funding for this will implode first
right to self determination for me not for thee
Please don’t let the morons win, Canada. Don’t be like the usa
It has zero access to any ocean…
