Could not have characterized these better: “Two provinces, two votes, two nationalisms. One for the nation and the language. The other for grievance and oil.“ I am not well versed in Quebec cultural concerns, but I definitely cannot see how an economically advantaged Alberta has a case AT ALL.

Is it treason? Probably not. But: “In dictionary terms, however, Eby’s comments then hit the mark squarely. Such activity is a betrayal of one’s own political community and a violation of the principle of self-determination. It is treacherous”

Jen Gerson with more truth bombs: “Voting to leave is not sending a message to Ottawa. It’s sending a message to Washington.” “The message is this: Canada is weak, regionally divided, and can be turned on itself for America’s benefit. Ultimately, that message hurts all of us, including Albertans.”

A miniature figure reclines casually in a blue deck chair on top of a giant tennis ball against a bright turquoise background. The image is paired with a quotation by Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean: “How small are you willing to make your world until everyone agrees with you?” The visual humorously suggests someone retreating into a small, self-contained world where everyone agrees with them.

Half of voters who support separation also support joining the U.S. I hear this group is susceptible to conspiracy theories and has big feelings and I’d like to encourage them to move to Florida where they can live with alligators and sip margaritas on a little patch of rapidly depreciating land.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.
