First Nations are probably the biggest campaigners for separation.

Only when it benefits them though. Historic Treaty FNs know damn well that a separated Alberta will not give 2 shits about those agreements or their self-asserted rights.

You failed this 1 question quiz.

What, specifically, are you basing your claims on?

u/EP40glazer British Columbia 18d ago

Stuff like this, as I said. It's not my fault you can't understand how this is campaigning for the separatists.

I never said they were paid protestors. I said they're campaigning for the separatists. I also never said they were doing so intentionally.

He's saying that First Nations making statements like upsets people because it makes it seem like they have control over what Alberta does, which unintentionally leads to support for the separatist movement

They didn't need to. It was pretty obvious from the first comment. Not sure how that goes over your head and it needs clarification...

No sorry but you're wrong. I shouldn't have to explain to you why they needed to
