Treason should be punishable by death

I'd rather they introduce more protections for the immigrants that choose to come here. I have heard tales of shady lawyers overcharging for form filling, or employers using the fear of not meeting work requirements to extract free overtime, or can keep wages low. Immigrants already pay a heavy price to come here.
Alberta also voted yes to the other nine, which means we voted to be as shitty and racist as possible while remaining.
This isnt the victory everyone wants to think it is. This went exactly as expected and means this province is going to keep blindly voting on issues that 1) dont exist or 2) they dont understand, which means we are staring down the barrel of more UCP in the future.
Alberta predictably voted to be racist and ignorant, as usual, my disappointment is expected but still bitter and Im drafting a plan to leave. This is going to get a lot worse here before it ever gets better and this vote is concrete proof that Alberta is fucking stupid and will vote against themselves if it means they dont have to see as many Indian people
Investigate UCP and the separatists for treason with all the voter information leaks, the collaborations with the states. This was a waste of time and money. I worry they won't accept defeat and are going to ramp up the crazy.
If the American Right Wing is any indication, they will claim that the vote was rigged, despite being whooped by a WIDE margin, and scream it loudly forever. Really annoying.
election tampering is a valid concern, which is why its so important to have paper ballots and vetted scrutineers.
There should also be a social media blackout for a week before any election.
Sadly the other 9 questions reveal a lot of social friction that is going to empower the UCP to more bullshit.
I'm so thoroughly disappointed in my fellow Albertans on this front. Essentially, "yeah we want to remain a part of Canada, but we don't want immigrants or federal influence."
a lot of social friction
That's a polite way of discussing the racist dogwhistles behind most of the 9 questions.
Sure, they're going to press on with a bunch of initiatives that are plainly unconstitutional, get smacked down by the courts after a lengthy battle, use it to fuel anti-federal sentiment, and try again later.
The wheel turns.
the whole thing was incredibly dumb and a monumental waste of time and resources.
Good
Can we now put this to rest with a bullet in the head and not try to revive it next year?
Not until the US stops funding separatists and social media giants stop colluding with bad actors to encourage separatists.
In before Daniel Smith claims this is a victory that only solidifies how good a leader she is, and that thereβs a clear mandate for the Federal government to do whatever she wants.
Despite this being a national risk that should have her summarily tried for treason, as well as those in the UCP who leaked voter lists and conspired with the US government.
Also in before she uses this to invoke the not withstanding clause on healthcare.
Good news from Manitoba here. Go Alberta! Go Canada! Many hands make light work and we are stronger together.
A third voted, Smith's treason got a quarter of that third.
Two thirds didn't care about the Goof's drama, 75% thought she was the goof.
So 1/3 times 1/4 means only 1/12th of voters were mislead by Smith.
Not sure where you're getting "only a third voted" when 43% of eligible voters had voted in the ADVANCED polls.
The common financial wisdom is to invest in diversity (Canada) rather than a single asset (petrostate).
Wished we could have such a vote in California.
The GOP thugs would never let California leave. CA might be their whipping boy but they know how much money it makes for the country.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. MAGA loves to shoot itself in the foot. It does it nearly every day.
Californians and Texans are both Mexicans. One day you'll rejoin your people.
