Lmao the tiny minority of Albertans who want to separate are now making more demands. Almost as if you can't give fringe groups an inch or they'll ask for a mile.

That said, Alberta can do much better than Smith for a Premier.

    25% of a population isn't a "tiny Minority".

    Agree with the rest of your comment.

    25% is a "tiny minority" when the question voted on was "yes or no" statistically. It would appear even smaller when it was reported that if it had been a binding the "yes" vote to leave would have been closer to 10%. However I see your point and I am just happy that the voters of Alberta didn't go down the asinine path of separatism.

    Oh, the number I was thinking of was 7% of the total voting poluace. I think I heard it on a Fifth Estate bit about the Alberta seperarist movement. I didn't realize the referendum "Leave" numbers were that high...
