If it fails, those running it should be kicked the fuck out

As long as everyone gets out to vote it down

A judge needs to shut this down. This is a slow train-wreck of stupid, just like Brexit.

They tried, and the premier used the notwothstanding clause to allow this unconstitutional garbage to move forward. What's worse is even rational Canadians think that if it did happen it would take years to sort out. Meanwhile, the separatists lobbied the US gov for a $500B loan for a sovereign Alberta. If the referendum got 50.1% they would instantly declare independence with US backing. This is the same playbook Lucien Bouchard had during the Charlottetown Accord. The second they had won he was going to declare an independent Quebec with the backing of France.

Sedition charges are being drawn up

I wish they would all just fucking leave instead.

But I guess it’s like parenting your kid. If you force the government to censor everything so your kid has to jump through more hoops to see it then you excuse yourself from having to actually do anything yourself.

You can just call yourself a freedom fighter and have keggers that you call protests.

Traitourous assholes leading gullible morons

Sedition charges coming (hopefully)

[-] TheVoiceOfRaison 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

Seditious traitors, funded by yankees

Canada will endure, america will fall just like the soviets

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

They're dumb. Like Americans are dumb.

That would make for a strange looking border!

Wait till you see the puzzle piece borders of what used to be america, after they finish killing each other in civil war 2.0

Build a wall around that.
