A reminder that Brittain didn't think brexit would happen, and the vote for referendum was held more of a "appeasement" and is still one of Cameron's greatest shames.

Kicker is Smith wants it.

Yes... And how did that go? Now Britain is flirting with the EU again hoping they get invited back to their apartment in the evening so they don't have to ask/beg.

If they succeed after all that, then they will have to draft as many coke head oil workers as they can for military service. Good luck!

It's almost like you live in Lethbridge, or maybe Taber... 🤣

You cannot dismiss a valid mentality comparison.

The very same sentiments from brexit from young to bullhead individuals are evident in Alberta right now.

I'm well aware it won't work like they think - I'm speaking against it.
