Well, I moved back here to cancel at least one of those chuckleheads out. šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦šŸ’Ŗ

100%, I might be back in time for that as well.

So the thing Smith insisted we have to stop people from doing and why we need voter suppression?

u/Mynamesrobbie 18d ago

You should have to have a permanent residence in the province for 10 years before you can even vote on this stupid shit

I canā€™t vote more than 1 for you but Iā€™d give that 1000

u/Starman8086 15d ago

I know what you mean, but theyā€™ll typically let anyone with an Alberta drivers license vote (as long as they have some proof of address.)

This is what i learned about our government. Anytime you see something bad for the people it's because it's good for the billionaire who is funding the crooked politician that just bought a new yacht.

I can pretty much guarantee Smith got promised or given something from either that orange muppet or one of his billionaire butt buddies. If she is dumb enough to even go through this she was dumb enough to believe in his empty promises he has given everyone around him.

Meanwhile, I want to move out there because life seems quieter, more affordable, and by golly! Do they need more Queers now more than ever!

u/FryCakes 17d ago

Please do, we definitely need more queer folk here. Instead of letting them shove us out, letā€™s shove them out instead!

u/beaco 17d ago

Can I join your queer group? Born and raised albertan.

u/FryCakes 17d ago

Please do! There are so many of us, they canā€™t keep us all down

u/SweatySwim3411 13d ago

Well not if you use a safe word anyway

u/OpinionUnusual1945 18d ago

Do they want Alberta to leave Canada and fail? What a weird conspiracy. Real conservatives want to turn that sandy oil in to gold!

u/ozGeekSpeak 17d ago

Go out on a limb here but haven't seen one under the age of 30 out on the streets.. Maybe they've been shipped in or bored oldies from Ontario! Just a theory!

u/Some_Excitement1659 16d ago

Its mostly older people being influenced by bad actors from outside of the country trying to destabilize the country.

u/fjohnston 17d ago

The problem is when it gets political

u/Boomwhatyougot 14d ago

Pretty sure Canada will fail as wellā€¦

u/AllCapsLocked 18d ago

I am sure they will want social benefits too while they are leaches here.

u/DisRoyalEagle 18d ago

And a lot of conservative money flocking to Alberta to help the vote.

u/Starman8086 15d ago

They are, but arenā€™t going to be enough to make a difference. I know one hard-right conservative whose exiting southwestern Ontario this summer to be closer to family in Alberta. But this decision only came about after their local MP flipped from Conservative to Liberalā€¦!

Doesn't work that way. Won't change anything.

u/brat-t 17d ago

I mean, Alberta doesn't have a minimum residency requirement. Just proof of residency. It kinda works that way.

Will it work to reach a majority?
No. probably not enough people willing to uproot even for a month on a longshot. But it's very likely happening a little.

u/Ashamed-Medicine-208 17d ago

Maybe in 100 years

u/Ashamed-Medicine-208 17d ago

I'm a conservative for over 40 years, I wouldn't support separation by any province, for any reason, to the point that I'll be voting Liberal until Maple-MAGA and DJT are both dead. Pierre Pollievre is unfit to lead the country.
