Canada is not actually 'battling for survival' in the context of secession, because in both Alberta and Quebec secession has relatively small amounts of public support. What we're battling is dipshit far-right populist politicians enabling/pushing for this destructive bullshit.

Time for a windfall tax in Canada. How is this anything but profiteering from armed conflicts?

It's time to start looking around our regions and buying local. And maybe we return to eating what's in season and preserving. Loosening regulations only allows capitalism to cut costs, the consequences become ours to bear.

Under the UCP, we're seeing what a Wildrose government would have been like ... but Alberta managed to choose the lesser evil ... until Jason Kenney's bright (recycled) idea to 'unite the right.' #abpoli

The feds need to pass laws that will force the transfers to the provinces to be used for that said thing. This is ridiculous. The Conservative Premiers are underfunding everything that the feds are subsidising. It's unfair to Canadians. #passthelaws You'd think the NDP would be doing this, but no..

Only 10% of Alberta oil ships directly to the US, the rest transits pipelines and infrastructure built in other provinces, most of it Canadian taxpayer funded. Alberta isn't guaranteed access to these assets if they separate. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Smith 'crying' is infuriating. What has held Alberta back is years of UCP 'leadership' trying to pretend the good ol' days 1. Existed, and 2. Could be brought back, again. Real leadership would have positioned the province for the present and future economies, not shuttering green energy, etc. 💩

Decided we won't be watching Oilers this season. Didn't feel right when they signed Kane. Then Perry. Then Babcock. Now that guy whose name I can't remember but know is a r@pist. Then I learned about past questionable choices by their team 'leadership.' When we know better, we need to do better.

Re-elect Republicans, they'll TOTALLY pay you this time ... maybe even make good on previous promises they didn't honour. Sounds a lot like the Alberta prayer, 'Just give me another oil boom and I promise I won't piss it away this time.' Where are the oil royalties going?? It isn't to the people.

If Americans want to enjoy our alcohol, etc. AND stick it to their *sigh* President, I'm pretty sure they'd be welcome to come north of the border to indulge and vote with their dollars. Also, can we talk about how much alcohol alone has so much leverage? We might have a problem ...

.Non Binding that is what this referendum is. Has anyone heard Danielle Smith say she will honour the result if the Stay in Canada side wins. No you have not and if they do win, I guarantee she will still call for a referendum on leaving Canada. Because the separatists own her

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

From the article "Carney conceded that the country won’t meet its 2030 greenhouse-gas emissions targets, instead extending the deadline to 2050." Deadlines set by humans can be extended at will. However, atmospheric physics adheres to its own irrevocable scheduling and deadlines.

Having citizens guess at what prices will be, when an expert doesn't know the answer, seems like a profoundly broken market. What kind of idiotic system do we have set up in this province? Albertans are constantly getting ripped off by contracts with these ridiculous confounding stupid policies.

These polls are meaningless if people don't get out to vote. The separatist side is highly motivated whereas many federalists mistakenly assume it's an automatic win for their side & won't bother. This is not a binding referendum Smith can & will interpret the results as she sees fit.
