I keep seeing news about separatist movement in Alberta. My understanding is that some of their cities do not align with the province.

**Could a city, Edmonton for example, start a separatist movement to stay in Canada? **

On the same note, if the separatists win by a small margin, are they going to force it down to the rest of the population that want to stay Canadian? Or are they going to divide the province land with Canada?

We need to start organizing and volunteering if we want to nip this in the bud. There are more of us…

Thanks for the reply. Is there any organization that we can help? I wonder if creating a community here with info would help.

A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

Be civil and act in good faith.
No trolling.
