Voters to be asked whether province should remain part of Canada or hold a second, binding independence vote
Albertans are going to the polls to decide their place in Canada, in a referendum that has exposed deep divisions within the province, not least in the separatist movement itself.
On Monday, voters will respond to the question of whether Alberta should remain in Canada, or hold a second, binding independence referendum.
A minority have long argued that separation is the only way to address their belief that Alberta is short-changed by its financial relationship with Ottawa, and prevented from fully exploiting the province’s vast fossil fuel reserves.
Danielle Smith, the leader of Alberta, once said she admires the United States.
She also said many Albertans feel a special connection to the State of Texas.
Seriously? What do they actually love about Texas ? The abortion ban ? The lack of paid Maternity Leave ? The lack of law requiring employers to provide vacation? The school shootings ? The drug prices ?
Wearing boots and cowboy hats, saying they love meat and oil. Claiming you love Texas.
Watching some Canadians cosplay as conservative americans is just pathetic, frankly.
Can we trade Alberta for Minnesota? I speak on behalf of everyone in Minnesota.
This woman is not for Canada, she’s not for Texas, she’s not even for Alberta or its people. She’s for herself and that materialises in one way, that’s the oil industry. That is her long term plan, mark my words, when finished with her political career she will have a lucrative position with big oil and they’ll reward her with big bonuses. It’s that simple.
Jebus and guns, they dont think to hard 'bout all them there human rights stuff
