USA sponsored dissent failed this time but the agitators and the money are still there.
I don’t know why anyone takes the civil war / secession-obsessed people seriously.
It’s a small, loud minority that thinks it’s a majority because they mainline algorithmically-content all day, every day. That holds true in Canada and here in the US.
They’re a bunch of fucking clowns.
because a small bunch of clowns can sway public opinion their way in the right circumstances.
the algorithm is most folks reality now, they don’t live outside of it.
a civil war is a militarized conflict. It requires entire groups of people grabbing guns or explosives or other arms and being willing to kill someone else for being on the wrong side. If no one in canada was arming up and murdering people for being on a different side then of course not.
It wasn’t even close
Yeah 75% is a fucking hell no
It still means 1 in 4 people you see on the street is dangerously misinformed. Or, just as bad, simply does not know what it would actually mean, but still decided to vote on the topic.
Keep in mind this was a non binding vote to have a binding vote on the issue later on. According to the polls the number of people who said they’d vote yes to hold the binding but would vote no in the actual vote if it was held was quite large. Then there’s the fact that we can be certain almost all the seperatists voted since this realistically is the only chance to get what they want and consider that only a third of eligible voters voted. Them only getting 25% under those conditions means their actual support is vanishingly small.
1 in 4 that voted. About a 3rd of Albertans gave a shit one way or another to actually go vote.
1 in 4 women are sexually abused as a child, usually by a close family member. Coincidence? I dont think so
I don’t see how it could be. There’s no way Alberta could be self sufficient in the global economy.
You can’t reason a person out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into
Beautiful. Why haven’t I heard this one before? Standard repertoire from now on!
Why haven’t I heard this one before?
Because you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!
Thank you for thinking of posting this, it’s as apt as the original post.
Enjoy
Yeah, but there aren’t enough idiots anywhere to actually do something like that.
Press x to doubt.
If there were, Quebec would have done it years ago.
Or, to go to a different country, Texas would have ceded from the US.
TX thinks they’re special enough to have their own private power grig largely disconnected from the rest of the USA managed by the folks at https://www.ercot.com/
Guess which state it is we see massive outages across whenever there’s a slight dip in the winter temps or the least bit of snow?
I was about to ask “and what good has that done them?” before I got to your second paragraph.
Thankfully not
They tell themselves they support all of Canada, just like Quebec does.
Quebec hasn’t successfully left Canada either
1 in 4 are representing US interests in Canada. That’s way too high.
