    I wish the people who would like to separate would just move if they hate it so much.

    But it’s a combination of them being generally too unemployable to be able to immigrate to the states and being too lazy to want to actually move their own ass down there.

    What we (Alberta) need to do is separate from Danielle Smith. I wish she would just move to Florida to be with her buddy.

    Eby is great. As a former Albertan now living in BC and watching from the outside, it’s a real shame Alberta doesn’t have leadership equivalent to Eby. Hopefully Nenshi can change that in the not-so-distant future.

    If anything we should be adding to Western Canada. Take in Washington, Oregon, Alaska then California.

    Why should we separate from Canada when America and Alberta suck?

    I don’t think talk of separation itself is bad, even if I think it’s exceedingly stupid.

    But people should stop talking about other provinces separating when such sentiment obviously isn’t there at all. If the prairies want to separate, stop acting like BC is in on it as well. From what I can tell, it feels more like BC wants to have nothing to do with Alberta if it can help it, and it’s the federal government that’s forcing them to play nice together.

    All this separation talk is entirely Alberta, with a bit of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and even then the numbers suggest that it’s at most 30% of Alberta that is actually talking about it.

      I don’t get why people like you constantly think that “ignoring” rising authoritarianism and fascism is the solution

        It worked for Russi… I mean it worked for Germa… I mean surely Turke…

        Nope. I guess ignoring it doesn’t make it go away.

        At a certain point, the kind of people who buy into this shit just need to be ignored. They cannot be rehabillitated , at leasst not until they lose it all

          So, if you find that you have cockroaches in your house, do you ignore them and hope they’ll go away, or do you address the problem and try to exterminate the little bastards?
