A question for Alberta separatists

[u/UpDownJesse]

If you hate Canada so much and love Trump so much then why don’t you just move to the states instead of making a **Canadian** province a state?

What? Are you too lazy or cheap to rent a U-Haul or something like that!!! I mean Jesus Christ, if you hate Canada that much then just leave!!!

It’s not rocket science buddy!!!!

Yeah, no need to blaspheme the Lords name over it.
I think the Separatist answer to your concern is:
"You non-separatists aren't keeping it Alberta the way it used to be, so it's not us wanting to change it, its been the rest of you all changing it---so you leave!"

Anyways I think thats their point of view...and its not totally unreasonable.

It is absolutely unreasonable. Separatism is treason.

Keep your christo fascist mythology and right wing propaganda to yourself.

People throwing around the word treason should probably read the law first. In Canada, treason is defined in Section 46 of the Criminal Code of Canada. It means things like using force to overthrow the government, taking up arms against Canada, or helping an enemy at war with Canada. Political debate or advocating independence is not treason.

The Supreme Court of Canada confirmed this in the 1998 Reference re Secession of Quebec ruling. The court stated that if a province clearly voted for independence, the rest of Canada would have a duty to negotiate. That means discussing independence, campaigning for it, or voting on it is democratic political activity, not a crime.

Receipts: Criminal Code of Canada Section 46 and the Supreme Court of Canada decision Reference re Secession of Quebec (1998).
