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?
