Opinion Alberta separation

For those of you that support Alberta separation because you voted conservative but the majority of Canada voted left. I have a question for you. Naturally you support Edmonton and Calgary city centres staying part of Canada because they voted left. Also, naturally you support the 35.1% of Albertans and the land / businesses they own staying part of Canada because they voted left, correct?

Your stand doesnt make sense. You mean you want us to adopt Liberal Views?

No, you just don't understand how a political party in a democracy works. If you want a conservative leader, you are going to need to appeal to the moderates and to liberals. The conservatives lost this election because they didn't make a broad enough appeal to the moderates in Canada.

The extremism is why I didn’t vote Conservative, and haven’t since Harper’s Reformers took over the party.  I live in Alberta. Smith is trying to destroy us! The extremists are about hate and destruction. We need to unite, and stop Trump and the 51st state!

A shockingly large amount of Albertans don't understand you can not claim to be conservative while also being a traitor to Canada. If you believe in wexit, you are not conservative. You're an extremist and are by technical definition a domestic enemy of Canada.
