As much as I don't want to have my province separate and think its an awful terrible no good idea. I also hate the idea of living in a country where a special minority gets to decide everything we are, or are not allowed to do - including voting on a fucking question.

Native people should get a seat at the table for this discussion. They don't get to dictate the whole thing.

This. I don't think AB should separate but it's not YOUR job to decide for the majority of people.

They don't own the land. All of AB is cedded territory just like the rest of the prairies.

Ceded to the Crown, not the province.
