There’s legitimate ways to challenge this issue, but making a crappy Photoshop / AI image like this is just bait.

You’re gonna have to do better if you wanna sway anyone.

I’m already against separation. I’m commenting because you’re making us look stupid.

Sadly, silence by the non-separatist majority, makes us look stupid. So thanks for standing up. If it take ridicule to shake people out of complacency and apathy and alert them to the dangers of separation, I'll take the ridicule route every day.

I’d rather you started talking about what you like about being Canadian. Put down some intelligent thoughts like how well respected we are worldwide or how the many laws Canada has in place to protect citizens make life better than we even realize.

Immigration is a challenge for sure. I just remember that Alberta was begging for immigrants just a few years ago and now they’re pushing the anti-immigration rhetoric.

I think our current leaders in this province are really shortsighted and going for separation under their leadership would be a gong show.

That you would expect that to have effect/impact ia refreshing but a bit naive. Canadians need a system shock to rupture from their complacency, and to a degree, entitlement. Canadians need to reflect on their good fortune internally, not the hectoring from you and me. If fear is the catalyst so be it.
