      I wouldn’t say so many so much as a loud group of idiot assholes.

        A petition calling for separation recently gathered more than 300,000 signatures - enough needed to trigger a vote.

          “O Canada!
          Our home and native land!”

          it’s native land. It’s in the song in the first line as a constant reminder for these fuck wits to never forget.

    So they’re voting to become a landlocked country fully dependent on two other countries for access to the sea, airspace, and all goods and services?

    At least with Brexit there was a history and precedent for the UK as a viable independent economy, how exactly would Alberta function?

    The only way this would make any sense is if they were planning to collude with Trump to become the 51st state…

      If admitted. It’s gonna be real funny (sad) if they vote to leave and the US just ignores them.
