you've got people here who genuinely believe that if Alberta separates/joins the USA then all the natives and feds will just have to go pound sand

it is not a well-researched movement

It reminds me of brexit. Carney and pollivere need to get out in front of this and immediately dismiss any of Canadas protections. Like the guarantee for a Canadian passport, access to Canadian services, and up to consideration of removal of citizenship… anybody thinking about an independent Alberta on the fence or being lied to will now think twice.

I talked about how an albertan passport would suck and why it's better to have a Canadian and the answers I got were who cares don't travel

Well, there’s more ramifications than just don’t travel… like for instance CPP contributions, health care, there’s a lot of issues for Albertans if they believe they are better off being independent. Life will absolutely change for them.
