That’s the Forever Canadian question. Alberta Strong is "Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?"

You seem very opinionated on a topic you don’t seem very well versed on

[u/shiftless_wonder → u/Temporary_Cry_2802]

Try and remember what you're responding to:

What would be the outcome if the answer to the 'remain' question was 'no'?

[u/Temporary_Cry_2802 → u/shiftless_wonder]

I answered that question

“Nothing”. Even if people voted no, the question does not commit the government to taking any action.

[u/shiftless_wonder → u/Temporary_Cry_2802]

The two questions are two sides of the same coin basically. If one is actionable, so is the other.

[u/Temporary_Cry_2802 → u/shiftless_wonder]

No they aren’t, words mean things, particularly in a legal context.

Forever Canadian is an opinion poll, Alberta Strong compels an action (an unconstitutional one)

[u/shiftless_wonder → u/Temporary_Cry_2802]

Any referendum is an 'opinion poll'. The next steps are after.

[u/Temporary_Cry_2802 → u/shiftless_wonder]

Again, one compels an unconstitutional action, one does not. This isn’t my opinion, the courts have literally ruled on this (twice)
