I mean, they have zero chance and are a bunch of fools.

But I also viscerally hate them for the mockery they've made of my province and for how they're such vile fools. A perfect blend of idiotic selfishness and easily-manipulated dullardry. I suppose every province has these sorts of mouth-breathers lurking about but gosh someone seems to have given them enough money to afford a megaphone and now they're so loud.

I can't wait for the UCP to split back into regular conservatives and Wild Rose lunatic fringers again.

Sure. All that is valid, from a purely academic perspective. But, this isn't an academic issue. There is currently a concerted effort being made by American interest groups, to destabilize Canadian sovereignty. This effort is also being pursued by Russia. Both countries are actively pushing the idea of Alberta separatism in order to undermine Canadian unity as a prelude to making their own land-grabs at Canadian territory.

All Canadians should be taking this very seriously.

Albertans are not a ‘people’ in a way that international law would recognize

And we all know that. It's not about cultural distinctness from Saskatchewan, because lol.

Separatists are pretty up front about what this independent Alberta would do. Basically, it's a power grab so they can build some kind of imaginary far-right wonderland. They don't have much support, either, as of last I checked.

Architects of this most recent separation initiative should be forced to live in South Carolina.
