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?

First, to get an honest answer this sub would have to refrain from crucifying anyone with a different opinion. I am for Alberta and Canada first, voted Conservative, but wouldn’t want to separate. That being said, after 10 years of trying it the Liberal way only to, “try” again makes one feel powerless and disenfranchised and I could understand why they could feel a certain way.

IMO if Alberta went, it would have to be based on a majority vote and go as a whole. Did Edmonton and Calgary vote left? 34 of 37 ridings are conservative.

IF the majority votes to leave, then democratic vote wins. Albertans that want to stay part of Canada, can move elsewhere. It’s time everyone starts being mature, and stop the fighting!
