CBC noon hour show today provided keen insight to the referendum questions - too bad they were written by some highly ignorant people who have yet to read the constitution . Smith put her signature to this nonsense without doing any homework. No province has the right to abolish the senate.

A great post on the referendum that clearly violates human rights and dignity. It is no surprise coming from a UCP that from day one has shown its racism and lack of compassion .

The Alberta referendum is more about racism and anti immigrant sentiment than it is about separation. Lacking any historical perspective of the many positive attributes that immigrants bring to this country, it is a shameful and dehumanizing piece of legislation. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

The most worrying part of the Alberta referendum isn’t separatism
Nine questions are about immigration and immigrants.

Let there be zero doubt that Trump has frequently belittled our PM as an American state governor and seriously talked about the loss of our sovereignty. I’m fully with Mark Carney here. The military threat is still real.

Outrageous hypocrisy the fed Conservatives are pretending to support the pro Canada side of Alberta’s referendum. Trudeau built the TMX with Canadian tax payers’ money. Alberta’s cons are clearly onside with separation, and their fed partners are silent. Thanks to Poilievre!
