For me personally, I think there is a better negotiation to be had with Ottawa

I don’t think I can properly explain how pathetic I find it that some people want to separate from Canada because their preferred political party didn’t win an election. It’s just so ridiculous. As if the Conservatives winning was some incredible panacea and they were going to fix everything. Gimme a break.
And there are a few considerations about separation. First, the numbers are extremely low. It’s more like 1/10 people who would entertain this seriously. Then, you have a division there. Some people want pure independence. Some want to join the US. And, no big deal, but you have this kind of negotiation taking place within a group of people who want to take their ball and go home, because they didn’t get their way. Good luck with that.
And let’s say that the decision is made and somehow a referendum is won. The National Parks and Treaties predate Alberta. So now you get to have a fight about what piece of land is actually seceding. I’m sure that when that gets acrimonious and spiteful that the surrounding countries are definitely building pipelines across their territories for you!
The entire thing is so preposterous and ridiculous. It’s purely to distract from the AHS scandal on the part of the UCP. For the “others” it’s just myopic and misguided.
