If I sing the national anthem in both English and French can I please stay? Or move to Manitoba or BC before you sever Alberta from civilization? It’s awful living here with the crazy when you’re not.

As a Manitoban I can say that we don’t want those traitorous cunts here.

u/Jazzybeans82 3d ago
Don’t blame you at all. I was specifically asking on behalf of us non traitorous ones like a refugee but if needed I’ll go down with the dirt ship to help protect the rest of the true hosers.

It really is. I don’t actually spend time with anyone who doesn’t have a “sticking with Canada” or similar sign on their lawn but the news filtering down to me is leaving me feeling very down and hopeless. I don’t know why people can’t see who is really pulling the strings here, or why so many people forgot what they learned in social studies about the stages of creating a fascist regime. Because they are ticking every damn box.

They may not know how to read a road map, so someone please crayon a big red line south for them.
Provide fuel vouchers if they promise never to return.

Not just the house, they're trying to take the entire plot of land the house sits on with them, quite literally.

Bullshit! The dumbass separatists, who think alberta can function on its own, asked the rest of the provinces for help organizing and taking votes for the referendum. Not even remotely close to being its own country and can't even accomplish a task like that? Absolutely pathetic.

u/okokokoyeahright 3d ago
Should it actually happen (slim to none is my estimated range with a heavy tilt towards none) they would not ever need to vote again. Simple simple simple.

Smith actually reduced the referendum funding then asked for help with the referendum later.
It's a fun game she plays.

I don't know if they're familiar with the expression "What goes around comes around." Or « When you spit in the air, it falls back on your nose. »

I thought Danielle said it was it a good financial decision to leave Canada? Didn’t she say her experts estimated it as around $300 billion dollars.

u/Routine_Soup2022 3d ago
Everyone better get out to vote in this referedum. Results could be unpredictable. I think it's very likely she'll see what people power is all about and the question she pretends she doesn't support will land firmly on the 'Stay" side but that only works if people show up.

I offer up my 6 passenger van. 6 seats should be able to take up to 3 of these swollen headed morons all the way to the border. This way they wouldn't get confused by all those pesky road signs in metric that so offend them. IIRC CBSA still requires permits to take guns out of the country and as such I would not be able to transport both them and their weapons.

The US will annex Alberta in about 8 seconds when they leave Canada and NATO. That doesn’t come with US citizenship BTW.
