On the plus side now we know where all the traitors are.

A few too many people showed up just to vote to against separation, and were not prepared for 9 other badly worded and misleading ballot questions. They technically didn't pass anything, but the trolls will probably call it a 'mandate' even though a lot fewer voted on any of the down-ballot questions than the big headline question.

Flatlanders gonna flatland.

Hopefully we can put this idiocy to rest now.

Lmao

The separatists are already calling this a win.. somehow

I would love a world where people can change just like that: realize that they were wrong, admit that, and ideally make up for any possible damage they made.

This is not that world. Expect more butthurt, ulterior, sometimes open more often covert undermining activity from them and their handlers.

That won't change until a few of them are in prison.

And good luck to them getting movement on any of them.

The US would swallow it up and Trump would promptly try to rename it Trumpland

The only realistic answer is to look over at Crimea.

It was so poorly thought through lol. I was arguing with someone about it and they were talking about how much money Alberta is going to save and I was like "In what currency? Because if you leave, d'you think Canada is still going to let you use the Canadian dollar?" and it was like it genuinely hadn't occurred to them.

And also, Treaty land is federal, not provincial. How was that supposed to work? Never got a good answer on that either.

Alberta would've had to be carved up. I wonder if the bigger cities like Calgary and Edmonton would have voted to stay in Canada leaving only the rural rabble to break off.

Join America.

The Senate should be abolished. Bunch of crusty old fucks who are appointed, not elected is about as far away from democracy as it gets

@ag10n @avidamoeba > Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election?Lol - do you know how many actual Canadian citizens this is gonna inconvenience? Ask your average Canadian voter (anywhere) what they used last time to prove at the ballot station who they said they were and I guarantee you 80% used their provincial drivers license. So now people have to rock up to a polling station with a passport or their birth certificate? Yes, we all just keep these on our kitchen counters, ready to go. If anything, the newly landed immigrants are going to have their paperwork* in order already.I can't wait for all the social media posts from angry multi-generational (i.e. coughwhitecough) Albertans being turned away from an Alberta polling station because they don't have their proper voter identification.

Do you think other provinces wouldn't like to participate in shifting power from federal to provincial gov'ts? Quebec certainly would. I could see Ford signing up. Scott Moe?

First time hearing about Quebec's use of the not withstanding clause?

Do NOT let these fuckers any where near amending the constitution.

They have proven they are not working in good faith and are using a mostly justifiable position (a non-elected senate) to open the doors for their other shitty plans.

The populists wet dream.
