I’m concerned that if a referendum was conducted, the US could heavily interfere with public opinion and spread misinformation on how good it would be to leave Canada. And if the federal government shut down the referendum, the US would use that as an excuse to use their military to “liberate” Alberta.

US oligarchs want Canada's resources. Krasnov absolutely doesn't need anything from Canada, but Canada should absolutely join as 51st state, and he's willing to fight for our freedom and protect Canadians with weaponized economic policies aimed at us.

Suddenly, we're having a national election to choose between a Komplete Krasnov sellout and a finance bro. Krasnov supports the sellout. Then he supports the finance bro when asked to distance himself from the sellout because it's hurting his numbers in the polls.

Recent numbers show that our youngest citizens are falling for Krasnov’s 51st state rhetoric that is being trumpeted on his oligarchs' social media platforms. Poilievre wants to end dissent by de-funding our dissenting voice, the CBC. This would allow Krasnov’s state media to be the only media in Canada.

Don't fall for the lies out there. We absolutely need the CBC as the only national voice that's not beholden to the Krasnov oligarchs.

The older generation need to pay attention to that poll.

Confederation needs to be argued for.

We've had a history rejecting confederation for economic reasons see PEI and NFL.

Don't give this any legitimacy, look at what happened with Brexit...
