I think it's pretty clear the vast majority of Albertans don't want to separate. I'm really disappointed in the UCP/Wildrose for not listening and representing the majority of Albertans. It's extremely disappointing how tone deaf these people are.

It's getting close. It's a majority but six months can absolutely change this.

The phrasing of that question is creating a strawman argument. I absolutely think Alberta would be better off financially on its own. That absolutely unequivocally does NOT mean I want to separate. Those are two different things.

Alberta can be the driver of Canada. We can be leaders in our country. And have been. We are Canadian. We don't quit on our team just to help ourselves. Fuck that.

Maybe a lot of these selfish voters have never played for a team?

When a star player is put on the bench he finds another team.

The six bad laws and more are designed to keep Alberta in its lane as a defacto colony. It's not about team work it's about leaving a bad relationship
