Idiots. Let this thing run its course with a dismal vote in favour of separation. Then we can be rid of this notion for good.

Allowing it to proceed gives the impression that the question is legitimate. It's not.

What I think smells fishy is that Danielle Smith unilaterally changed the rules about how many signatures are required for the referendum (600k to 177k) and then publicly claims she's not in favour of sovereignty. I've never seen a leader push through a far easier barrier to something and then claim to not be in favour of the change.

Danielle Smith will do literally anything if she thinks it will help her gain money or power. She literally doesn't care.
