        Good video, this doesn’t cover what just happened. The vote was overwhelming against leaving Canada. As an Albertan, its still a small minority looking to leave, an uneducated one at that. We would be so royally fucked if we left due to our economy crashing and probably getting annexed by the US.

            No fucking shit, didn’t need a video for that. But the reality is STILL that the fucking loud rednecks are not the ones who will guide the destiny of Alberta. They can occupy Ottawa a thousand times and hold a hundred referendums and its still not them in charge ultimately. The largest voting block is far more social democrat / liberal in Edmonton and Calgary.

              I am sorry, but I don’t see how that is relevant to my statement of things being divisive even though the vote may be all but close.
