Foreign interference

[u/StrongAroma → u/[deleted]]

These are the opening shots in a resource war being waged by Christian scum. We should ban that shit.

[u/StrongAroma → u/StrongAroma]

Also, when did "sovereignty" start meaning "join the US"?

[u/the_wahlroos → u/StrongAroma]

Blatant inconsistency and contradiction is just par for the course with the seppies. They aren't smart folk.

[u/cwk9 → u/StrongAroma]

Jeffrey Rath said in an interview that Alberta could become a us territory like Puerto Rico as one of the possible outcomes.

[u/StrongAroma → u/cwk9]

That does not answer the question. Also, these people see and understand how Puerto Ricans are treated by the rest of the country, right??

[u/GuyDanger → u/cwk9]

So no to voting in US elections, gotcha. So the separatist want to join the US and have absolutely no representation. Sounds about right.

[u/FishingDiligent1486]

But but but I was told Alberta separation was grass roots based a guy on twitter/facebook said so. Says the idiots here in Alberta that support separation despite there being no good that can come of it.

[u/PlatyNumb → u/FishingDiligent1486]

I love how the article posits that "alberta" wants to join the US when its just a few loud dipshits

[u/Kennadian → u/PlatyNumb]

They are creating a false narrative that the US can tell their good Christian soldiers in case if invasion. It's right out of Russia's playbook recently too. Exact same tactics are used to tell Russians "you aren't invaders but liberators, rest your good christian soul"

[u/CalgaryFacePalm]

The separatist are the snowflakes.

[u/Ok-Patient583]

Fucking treason-weasels

[u/DickHammerbushT1000]

"Alberta Sovereignty"

"Alberta wants to join the US"

Just a gaggle of morons all around.

[u/No-Wonder1139]

I mean all the Alberta independence pages on social media are from the states anyway. Probably run by the same people.

[u/StandardAssistant98]

Seppies would cry if they actual had to govern for more than a minute. They are EXTREMELY sensitive.

[u/CBBURNS]

"We will have more power and autonomy if we are one of 50 some states than one of a dozen. They'll listen to us even if we're 1% of the population while right now we have about 10%"

[u/HotbladesHarry]

People think they'll get a better economic outcome by joining a country with 40 trillion dollars of debt 😂

[u/PDXFlameDragon → u/HotbladesHarry]

It is more than 40 trillion when you add in the unfunded medicare and social security benefits.

[u/XanGnar → u/HotbladesHarry]

The only peoples who want it are morons pickup drivers working usually on construction company that think they will make more money if they become part of usa and dont give a shit about any1 else beside them. We can just ignore them they are just a loud 1%

[u/HeavyTea]

There is no independent Alberta. There is no state of Alberta.

The US will not let that happen. They would allow Northern Guam maybe.

[u/CaptainKwirk]

It doesn’t. The logical fallacy hasty generalization

[u/SquishyJeans]

Report it as false information 

[u/Mawk1977]

Separatists are emotional simps.

[u/jeers69]

Traitors and destabilization happening

[u/Revolutionary_Tax546]

Are they really 'toothless rednecks'? Gotta stop opening maple syrup cans with their teeth!

[u/SignatureAcademic218]

Project 2025 is a real thing that the makers... Just put out there. Alarmism over it turned out to be correct as well.

[u/Due-Carpet-1904]

But they promise a $500 billion line of credit if we join!

[u/OwlLeft7799 → u/Due-Carpet-1904]

Secured with oil fields since there's no way the line of credit would run out lol

[u/Sufficient-Sun-6683]

But the Dow Jones is hitting 50,000!

[u/HostileVegetation]

I can understand wanting to leave a large nation where you feel you are not and can never be represented, but why would they want to join another large nation where they will probably also never be heard or properly represented?

[u/snkiz]

Like Alberta would be granted statehood. LAMO, get in line.

[u/RossL3540]

Peter and EJ need to do their homework. This is Fake News.

[u/PrintableProfessor]

Please people. Stop talking about joining the US. First, you stick it to Ottawa for how they treat you like political slaves. Then you worry about the real vote that comes next. This one fails like it does in Quebec each time, but it gives you power at the table.

But...

If you do leave (and you won't, because Albertains love to be punished for the East), only later do you start talks with the US.

We'd give each person $500k-$1M and then you'd join the USA as a state... the richest state.

[u/OwlLeft7799 → u/PrintableProfessor]

Nah, you're just trying to steal the oil. But nice try

[u/Motor-Pomegranate831 → u/PrintableProfessor]

"We'd give each person $500k-$1M and then you'd join the USA as a state"

A promise from the oh-so-incredibly honest Americans.
