This isn't "Alberta" pushing for independence

This is a group of seditious shitheads, funded by american billionaires attempting to destabilize Canada in an attempt to steal our oil

It will not work, Canadians like each other, and america will implode first

stay strong hosers

They might be referring to "Alberta" as our current leadership, which is unquestionably pushing for independence as they are almost certainly promised rewards from said billionaires.

No matter how many times I give the finger to the assholes on the side of the road petitioning for signatures, they're still out there the next day.

If you're in Alberta and can vote in October to prevent this from happening. Please do that.

Fully plan on. But the fact that it's even looking like the referendum is going to be a thing is bullshit.
