Wait until they learn how much of Alberta is covered by treaties between the natives and Federal Government lol.

And honestly none of that matters, if America gets involved.

How are they not in jail already for doxxing half of the Alberta population?

The police and RCMP are far-right leaning. Some of their members are a part of the movement so I'll be very surprised if anything happens.

Seems like a nice home for Queen Didulo.

Because they strategically add fake names to the lists when released, they will know exactly who did it. Jail terms will be coming.

Yes, and when 28% vote to leave Canada, that'll definitely be the end of it, right?

The only signature they need to leave Canada is their own, on an immigration request to the US, where they're welcome to fuck off to until they can't fuck off anymore.

Much like the clownvoy it's in partnership with Russia.

I'm still SUUUUPER curious about how the first petition "FOREVER CANADIAN" got over 400,000 signatures and somehow got no traction with the UCP. these treasonous assclowns somehow manage to get 178,000 signatures (while doing lots of shady stuff to get that far) and OMG WE'RE GONNA SEPARAGE ITS A KOODETAT!

The UCP only ever wanted the right kinda of petitions and are on record complaining about people using these new petition laws for recalling UCP MLA's (how dare they) and proposing things they don't want (ie remain a part of Canada).
The political manipulations are brazen and deliberate.

I would say we're full up on stupid but, well, it just ain't true.

While the PCS wring their hands about Chinese interference, Alberta politics are 100% fueled by US right-wing foundations.
For fucks sake, the interim head of the PC party before they could find somewhere stupid enough to elect Poilievre is an American citizen. Guy so stupid he had to fake being an insurance broker.

Carney, in contrast, forfeited his UK citizenship when he became head of the liberals.
It should be illegal for a party leader to have dual citizenship. Its a conflict of interest

I am an outside observer, but don’t they actually want to leave and join the (conservative) US?
