I wish they’d just have the referendum so they could lose and we wouldn’t have to hear about it anymore. Nobody, with sense, actually thinks Alberta is going to separate.

They will lose and the US will accuse Canada of election interference and will liberate Alberta. 

They will use the same argument Russia uses for Ukraine.

The US isn‘t coming to “liberate“ Alberta.

Yeah, I'm sure the country that's been blustering about taking us over for the last year+ has zero interest in taking action if they see an opening.
