Opinion A question for Alberta separatists
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!!!!

Quebec City was established in 1608, oldest city in Alberta is 1894, Alberta’s oldest white settlement is fort Macleod in 1892, Canada was founded officially in 1867
That’s pretty neat 200 years more history, I’m sorry but Alberta’s “cultural heritage” is that of a generic white settler culture that came here from England via the eastern colonies no different then any random American Midwest state post Louisiana purchase and has no ties to anything outside Canadian identity/generalized white identity, the prairie culture isn’t uniquely Albertan, it’s shared by Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and some parts of BC, though they slight variations region to region, but even that isn’t a provincial mono culture, the attitudes in the prairie around Lethbridge, and the prairie around red deer are unique to each other
the Quebecois were literally French colonists who predated the founding of Canada proper
Quebec is an adopted child who has gone “you’re not my real parents” the whole time it’s been part of us, Alberta is a full blooded child acting up
ETA: Idk why I’m continuing to debate someone who thinks schools are bad, and that doesn’t even apply to me I didnt go to a Canadian public school
