- Albertans have voted to remain in Canada, CBC News projects, rejecting the proposal to begin the separation process.
- Early results in the province’s referendum show more than three-quarters of votes in favour of staying part of the country.
- Supporters at the Forever Canadian watch party broke into cheers and waved Canadian flags when they saw the first results on a screen.
Sadly the other 9 questions reveal a lot of social friction that is going to empower the UCP to more bullshit.
I’m so thoroughly disappointed in my fellow Albertans on this front. Essentially, “yeah we want to remain a part of Canada, but we don’t want immigrants or federal influence.”
…while they forget they’re descendants of immigrants, and Canada was a thing before Alberta.
Can we downgrade them back to NWT?
Sure, they’re going to press on with a bunch of initiatives that are plainly unconstitutional, get smacked down by the courts after a lengthy battle, use it to fuel anti-federal sentiment, and try again later.
The wheel turns.
That’s a polite way of discussing the racist dogwhistles behind most of the 9 questions.
Sadly you arent wrong
