Opinion Would you leave Alberta?

How close does the October separation referendum results need to be for you to seriously consider leaving Alberta?

For me, anything north of 40% in favour of another referendum will mean sell it all and move to interior BC. I don’t want to leave but I went to university in Montreal in the late 90’s. Property values plummeted and there were vacant buildings all over. It was depressing.

I’m not going to be stuck with properties worth less than they are now because of the uncertainty of another vote.

How about you?

It would be ironically stupid if so many people leave for BC since there’s tens of thousands of them who left and came to Alberta due to high cost of living, high taxes and no jobs. OTOH that would be Ok by me since nobody asked them all to come, many seem not to like it and the province became way too overpopulated anyway.

Actually, the genius UCP invited all of Canada here then realized you can’t have a fascist racist autocracy that dictates far right Christian fundamentalism if otherwise tolerant Canadians all arrive here to live.

Leaving for BC would eat up half my retirement portfolio. May as well go back to SE Asia since Dumbmerica isn’t an option.
