So I’m calling on us to do something un-Canadian: to put aside our habitual self-deprecation and stand up for the country we love—and reject the idea of a sovereign Alberta whose founding principles seem to be miserliness, xenophobia and transphobia. We need to raise our voices to denounce the dark fantasy of a landlocked, petulant petrostate dedicated to hoarding wealth, denouncing immigrants, denying climate change, spurning vaccines, protecting patriarchy and endangering queer kids. Because Alberta’s current crop of separatists don’t just want to leave Canada. They seem to want to opt out of the 21st century entirely.
Alberta voted 92% for Pierre Poilievre’s party when Canada’s sovereignty was threatened. I’m fed up with these “that’s only a minority” posts.
AB would join the US in heartbeat. This should be the new map of canada:
It’s only a minority.
PP doesn’t say we should join the US himself, why would literally everyone who voted for him?
Certain other provinces aren’t looking so great by that measure. And most of Canada, by land area.
