    Meanwhile, there are 9 other referendum questions quietly smouldering on the same ballot, 5 of which target immigrants, so Alberta can contribute even harder to demographic collapse, and the remaining 4 taste faintly of bitter almond.

    Dream up a simple question that could proactively help a regular person, then read and compare the actual ballot questions, and it becomes instantly clear how severely Alberta is drowning.

    Perhaps we could take lessons from some other countries on how to handle this starting with the involuntarily removal and imprisonment of a provincial premier for treason.

    As I much I was I don’t want to hand it Danielle Smith. It seems Danielle Smith learned from the UK’s disastrous Brexit vote orchestrated by David Cameron.

    Having a vote to decide if you should vote to leave is a good political decision. If Danielle Smith wants to stay Alberta to stay in Canada, she can go “See, people don’t want a vote to leave” or “the vote to leave was way too close. I would prefer a clear and strong super majority before initiating a vote to leave Canada.”

    If the vote to vote leave is clearly to vote to leave. Danielle Smith can gain leverage to extract more from the Federal Government.
