And the majority of my relatives in rural alberta are hoping it happens. White people who's grandparents risked it all for what we have today. We are on a really sad timeline.

Pretty anecdotal. I'm writing this from Alberta, and I'll be standing in defence of my country. Be careful to not paint populations with wide swath brushes, due to a few screaming super loudly. I bet you if you had actual bonafide data and could run the numbers, there'd be just as many of them in BC, Manitoba, Ontario, etc.

I dunno, lived in BC for like 10 years now and I've never met a person that believes this is a good idea

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

I've yet to meet someone in Alberta that thinks it's a good idea. Even my UCP cuck neighbors draw the line at this. And they have Danielle's schlong just about coming out their assholes.

Really? What do they think they’ll benefit?

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They think that the rest of canada steals all of alberta's money. They can't comprehend that corporations are robbing them, not ottawa. They think that alberta's oil belongs to alberta, not canada, but they also think they are entitled to the rest of canada such as the coastline.

I left alberta permanently and I'm so glad to be done with this toxic mindset. Brain rot.

I’m sure the US would respect their oil sovereignty! /s

Many in Sudetenland were hoping Hitler to invade. Neville Chamberlain/Czechoslovakia appeased them and made the world lose so much more. You are a traitor appeaser, shameful but you will likely be at war within a year or two so reap what you sow bastard, I'm just glad I had a chance to spit in your face.

I read this several times and I don't know what your last sentence means
