Thank the Ukrainians for blowing the shit out of the fucking Muscovite run Data Centers.
If they succeed, they should change the name to “North America” just to mess with trumps obsession with the word.
They will try again in a bunch a months.
That’s how the right wing nutjobs do it in Europe. Just keep proposing referendums until one passes and then if you don’t like the outcome just hold another and another until you get your way.
No green men from USA to press on the scale?
The Americans at least appear to be very incompetent at subverting their allies elections. Seems to amount to a ket addled Elon Musk on video stream ranting about replacement theory.
Sadly, looks like most of the other 9 ballot questions in this referendum, passed
It’s not like they were neutrally phrased.
“Do you want Alberta to be able to lower immigration back down to sustainable levels”
Like, come on.
I mean, they raised immigration up to non-sustainable levels in the first place, so why shouldn’t they be able to lower their immigration back again? Other than rank incompetence, of course.
I feel like it’s possible the separation question was a distraction so people weren’t talking about the other questions.
I do l’t think the other 9 questions needed a referendum either. The government isn’t restricted from pursuing any of the things it listed. It was just window dressing for the separation question.
Now peeps some of the more reflective of the bunch can think about why they were so convinced they were going to win the vote. What and who manipulated them? There was never the support, it wasn’t a media conspiracy, or the CBC working for Trudeau.
Voter fraud will be the conclusion by the most brainwashed of the cult members.
Daylight time didn’t pass.
Removing equalization payments passed -I guess they already forgot 2020 oil prices.
Anti-immigration passed, Alberta ICE , ICE, baby -across three questions.
Senate abolition passed -I’m cool with that. Elect a Senate or GTFO.
I strongly doubt most voters understood the big words in those questions.
Look I am old and have a farm and I don’t know much about anything except for cows, pigs, barley, and that immigrants are to blame for my failing crops.
Alberta: We may be racist hillbillies, but we’re CANADIAN racist hillbillies.
Does Alberta have hills?
Yes, Foothills.
Alberta: We may be racist hillbillies, but we’re still nowhere near as gullible as magats
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last couple decades, it’s that about 1/4 of people are thoughtless fools, easily caught up in whatever bullshit is shoved in their face the loudest.
that about 1/4 of people are thoughtless fools, easily caught up in whatever bullshit is shoved in their face
The US confederacy has spent decades ensuring their entire political process heavily favors that very very dumb 1/4 of the people.
It’s closer to a third. In the last ten years trumps idiots have had like a +- 33 percent locked in like a bunch of child molesting Mot worshipers.
They can still be used as a casus belli
We should probably deport the traitors to US then
Genuinely I believe we should treat them like the USSR treated the Kulaks and relocate them to a desolate area of the the northwest territories
That’s an example of immediate casus belli.
Quiet imprisonment of their leaders for non-political reasons (I am sure the CRA can find dirt on them) works much better. Even better if they get in unfortunate accidents.
Sorry, no vacancy. We are full on traitors at the moment.
If you’re on socials, bullshit is being shoved in your face. Is your palate so refined that you avoid it entirely? Or, like violence, is the seed of foolishness in all of us?
yes

Good for them. Stay united Canada and join forces with the EU
USA sponsored dissent failed this time but the agitators and the money are still there.
Yea, this is not the end, this is the beginning.
It wasn’t even close
Yeah 75% is a fucking hell no
It still means 1 in 4 people you see on the street is dangerously misinformed. Or, just as bad, simply does not know what it would actually mean, but still decided to vote on the topic.
Keep in mind this was a non binding vote to have a binding vote on the issue later on. According to the polls the number of people who said they’d vote yes to hold the binding but would vote no in the actual vote if it was held was quite large. Then there’s the fact that we can be certain almost all the seperatists voted since this realistically is the only chance to get what they want and consider that only a third of eligible voters voted. Them only getting 25% under those conditions means their actual support is vanishingly small.
Yeah, I can see the logic of voting yes in “maybe if we have an actual vote the separatists will actually shut up”
This is why it’s up to everyone to vote. If you refrain from voting, thinking that your outcome is guaranteed, you’re essentially letting an opposing vote count for two.
1 in 4 that voted. About a 3rd of Albertans gave a shit one way or another to actually go vote.
A lot more than a third of eligible voters came out to vote. Not all the polls have even been unofficially counted yet and we’re at nearly 1.9 million of the 2.9 million eligible voters.

https://www.elections.ab.ca/resources/statistics-research/elector-counts/Also, this is a vote to have a vote to leave, so what we’re seeing with is the ceiling, you’d expect more for a stay vote if it actually came to that.
They are not misinformed, stop saying that, my aunt said Canada deserves to be invaided by America for its globalist persuits, plenty of spiteful dumb fucks think like this, they are Not misinformed.
1 in 4 women are sexually abused as a child, usually by a close family member. Coincidence? I dont think so
I don’t see how it could be. There’s no way Alberta could be self sufficient in the global economy.
You can’t reason a person out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into
Beautiful. Why haven’t I heard this one before? Standard repertoire from now on!
Why haven’t I heard this one before?
Because you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!
Thank you for thinking of posting this, it’s as apt as the original post.
Enjoy
Yeah, but there aren’t enough idiots anywhere to actually do something like that.
Press x to doubt.
If there were, Quebec would have done it years ago.
Or, to go to a different country, Texas would have ceded from the US.
TX thinks they’re special enough to have their own private power grig largely disconnected from the rest of the USA managed by the folks at https://www.ercot.com/
Guess which state it is we see massive outages across whenever there’s a slight dip in the winter temps or the least bit of snow?
I was about to ask “and what good has that done them?” before I got to your second paragraph.
Thankfully not
They tell themselves they support all of Canada, just like Quebec does.
Quebec hasn’t successfully left Canada either
only because France said they didnt want them
1 in 4 are representing US interests in Canada. That’s way too high.
Shocker /s. it’s almost like all polling outside of the provincial number had voters at a consistent 75% to outright disagree with leaving.
I don’t know why anyone takes the civil war / secession-obsessed people seriously.
It’s a small, loud minority that thinks it’s a majority because they mainline algorithmically-content all day, every day. That holds true in Canada and here in the US.
They’re a bunch of fucking clowns.
I mean, just look at Brexit.
You take these things seriously because they can have adverse consequences, and that minority may not be as much of a minority as you might think.
If you’re in a room and a quarter of the people in that room want to burn the room down, do you not take them seriously because it’s only a quarter of the room?
because a small bunch of clowns can sway public opinion their way in the right circumstances.
the algorithm is most folks reality now, they don’t live outside of it.
a civil war is a militarized conflict. It requires entire groups of people grabbing guns or explosives or other arms and being willing to kill someone else for being on the wrong side. If no one in canada was arming up and murdering people for being on a different side then of course not.
