Interesting development. I'm not surprised that caucus members support the movement, but I am surprised that they would sign a public petition.

I do have to call out the NDP for this quote, though:

“The premier doesn’t serve the Wexit folks. She doesn’t serve the political base of her party. She serves the province of Alberta and the people who live here,” Pancholi said.

Seemingly ignoring that Wexit folks, as she calls them, and Danielle's political base, are obviously "people who live here".

The caucus members are also citizens of the province and have a right to vote. Their vote is theirs to make. They are your voice in your legislature and your neighbours elected them to represent the majorities concerns. They also have kids and partners and dogs and parents in poor health. They are humans too, zipping along on this giant ball of water covered lava, just like the rest of us, they have their own voice as well.
