  1. > Jeff Rath, legal counsel for Stay Free Alberta, told the Canadian Press that multiple UCP MLAs have signed the petition, although he wouldn’t name names. A UCP caucus spokeswoman wrote in a statement that MLAs are “obviously free to express their views on any matter they choose,” but added she wasn’t aware of any MLAs who’ve signed the petition.

    The problem is both sides of this are the same level of trustworthy. *Which is to say neither can be fucking trusted they are telling the truth.*

    Rath and his traitor Ilk will say anything they can to try and legitimize their separatist push, and the UCP lies as easily as they breath.

  2. A referendum is inevitable at this point.

    Anyone with a basic understanding of math can quickly figure out the separatists have no argument.

  3. >Independence is an issue that splits the federal Conservative base. According to a Janet Brown Research Opinion survey taken last spring for CBC Calgary, 49 per cent of respondents who identified as Conservative Party voters say they’d vote “Yes” for Alberta to leave Canada, while 45 per cent would vote no.

    So ~50% of CPC voters say that they would vote ‘Yes’ on Alberta separation. Interestingly enough, about ~50% of CPC voters also had a positive impression of Trump, and ~50% of CPC voters were also less likely to say that they are proud to be Canadian.

    (Cult Mtl ‘article’ – and I’m being generous with that term – but it references both EKOS and Angus Reid polls).

    I wonder what The Venn Diagram on those CPC voters would be?

  4. I have a crazy idea.

    Why don’t we work with Alberta and ease their concerns. That’s how you defeat this separation completely. Why are we not working with them? I’ve heard the issues they have and it seems like a solvable problem.

    I’m a gay man and very open minded, before someone starts attacking me for saying what I hope is the obvious solution. But why are we not trying to work with Albertans?

    You get more bees with honey…

    Do the Albertan attendees understand that if Alberta separates, Poilievre can’t be their Prime Minister?

  6. In every big moment of history there are always stories of the spineless who considered foul options because it was politically expedient for them individually. People who sold souls and morals to get by… Guess we found them for this period of US’ rising tyranny. May history judge them fairly by their actions and choices for what they are.

    > Donald Trump is deeply disliked by more than 70% of Canadians but views are less overtly negative among Conservatives. Mark Carney has a more negative net favourable score among the Conservative base and supporter group than Donald Trump does.

    -79 and -64 respectively for the CPC base and CPC voters on Carney. Only -34 and -27 for Trump.

    Cons would rather Trump than Carney. Carney is literally a Red Tory. It’s giving the same Republican brain wash in the US of “I’d rather Russia than a Democrat.”

    Call Separatism it what it is. Sedition and Treason. And half the Con base are all for it.

    To the con voters that aren’t treasonous, I hope you fight back. Fight like hell.
