Poilievre expected to call on Albertans to band with provinces, demand federal policy changes

It just occurred to me ,,, if Alberta separates from Canada, will the Conservatives ever have a chance of getting elected federally?

No wonder PP is doing everything he can to keep Alberta in Canada.

Sad to say there are still the sillies in my province of Saskatchewan that still vote primarily for the conservatives.

Still, without Alberta Cons would be minus like 20 seats.

It’s not going to happen though. The separatist “movement” is so astroturfed it’s ridiculous. I do like the in-fighting between conservatives though. We might be able to get the NDP back in power if they split the UCP up again.

And like half of Manitoba IIRC.

I just realized if Alberta separates Poilievre loses his seat in parliament again lol. It almost sounds worth it…but nah, there’s plenty of other ways Pierre can be humiliated.

They think they'll get to keep their passport, so they probably think they'll get to keep voting in Canadian federal elections, too.

Not sure which ridings they think they'll be voting in.
