The short summary of this is this phrase:
“They seem to be driven by a fantasy conservative monoculture republic at the end of this. They don’t seem to be considering the possibility that they’re not going to be gaining anything by this – that they’re going to be giving everything away.”
Danielle Smith is a floor crosser. Turn coat.
All actions she takes undermines democratic norms, functions, rights, and the right to vote for more and more people. The common thread is attacks on democracy.
The vote does not matter to those who undermine democracy. The goal is simply to destroy it for everyone else. To give Alberta away to those oligarchs Daneille courts on private planes over caviar plates, champagne toasts, and gold toilets they need to remove your agency.
Wonder what deals Danielle would cross all Alberta for? Perhaps, being Governor?
Regardless of the referendum they CAN’T leave Canada. Full stop.
This is also predominantly US psyop / destabilization and I would put money on them using “liberating Alberta” as an excuse for another “not war”. Every Canadian needs to approach this seriously and an treat them accordingly as seditious traitors
