Thanks for the clarification. These things are always so hard to follow and so disappointing when you hear "They voted to secede!" but it's just a stupid click-baity statement.
So you think it'll actually happen? I mean, it does make sense. Are we legitimately looking at a 51st state of Alberta or an entirely independent country of Alberta? I don't think the latter would be allowed by the Canadian government and they'd have a civil war. Well, likely not given that Canadians are, for the most part, pretty chill and passive.
First: it's a vote for independence, but the vote to become 51 will come soon after. Ottawa will niggle Alberta in every legal and illegal way that it can. And then (((Trump))) will give them an offer and Alberta will bite hard. Second : the reason that I'm calm about this is that, Carney is not doing anything real to stop this from happening. We know that the political tactic of mocking your opponent and never addressing their grievances HAS NEVER SUCCEEDED. And that's why I'm sure that Alberta will leave.
Interesting. You know your shit. At least it sounds like you do - heh. Interesting that Carney isn't trying to mend the wound. Maybe he thinks it won't actually go anywhere. But if he thinks that then he's sorely out of touch with how people in Alberta feel. That almost seems improbable for the leader of a country with all kinds of information coming to him. He should be taking this really seriously. Which makes me think he's resting on his guns and of shit gets serious he'll march troops to Alberta.
I've seen the way liberals act over the years, and they are cowards. Underhanded tricks is all that they have. The smug ignorance is insufferable.
What do you at least hope, happens?
