    What a great distraction from her ongoing scandals.

    Anyone in Alberta who thinks separating will help Alberta is an idiot. If you join the US, you’ll be Puerto Rico Norte, exploited for resources and excluded from the Union. If you think Trump will honor any deal he makes I don’t even know what to say to you.

    If you go it alone you’ll be a landlocked nation of 4 million, with absolutely no leverage against the two big economies surrounding you.

    Hell, even if they do this referendum and it fails, you’ve lost your negotiating leverage with Canada because we’ll all see how it’s an empty threat.

    Quebec is clear eyed enough to see now is not the time to talk about separation.

      While as stupid as separation is when the biggest Albertan customer is already gouging the province in oil prices, I really think it’s the scandals we should really be concentrating on.

      This is all just a distraction, and Albertans need to call for a public inquiry on all the corruption allegations, the healthcare scandal, her bribery charges, etc. A ten second search and the number of scandals and allegations regarding this person is staggering and makes Doug Ford look like he’s just stealing cookies from the public in comparison.
