They voted for racism, full stop. If they thought they were voting for not-racism, they are not smart. One or the other is true.

    If you had read the actual questions, you'd understand that they were all of the form "if you feel disenfranchised by immigration, do you support Alberta seizing or colluding with other provinces to usurp power from the federal gov?"

    By answering the x/y questions about power shifting, the negative connotations are entirely borne by the respondents.

    You saying "Alberta is racist, full stop", not only are you painting with a broad brush, you're feeding into exactly what the UCP want when they intentionally worded the questions the way they did.

    I said Alberta is racist - you are the one who introduced the idea that they did so because they were too dumb to understand what they were voting for. I'm not saying they're stupid, I'm saying they're racist, and are on the record as such.

    Despite my slight slip-up, I feel I've made my point that this line of thinking lacks critical thought.

    Cheers.

    I think yall have a massive racism problem that has just been brought to the surface, like a boil for the rest of the world to see on our nation's face. If you want be angry at someone, be angry at the racists who showed up, and the "good" people who could not be arsed.

    But make no mistake, you have humiliated us all. Fuckin' Alberta.
