I'm from the UK as is my mother who emigrated to Calgary 18 years ago. I am completely dumb founded as to why many Albertans would want to become a US state. Do they actually think life is going to improve for them? It just seems insane. I really hope this fails.

    it wont happen - this is all driven by yankee lizard people funding, which will dry up once shit breaks loose down there

    ...then we will deal with this the Canadian way - investigate and charge them for sedition and them put the traitours in jail

    The organizers are framing this as Alberta becoming a sovereign country, not becoming a US state. They have talked about wanting to become a US state in the past, and met with the Trump administration etc, but I think they are playing that part down to make the referendum seem more palatable to people
