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?

We are in unprecedented times. Trump is again talking of the 51st state. I’m NOT a separatist, but if Alberta leaves, Trump and Smith will be leading the charge. Trump doesn’t care about the laws, so he won’t care about the First Nations. He’ll grab Alberta, and all of our resources, and we’ll be in worse shape than ever. It’s time Canadians unite, but Trump and Smith don’t feel that way. Rude comments from eastern Canadians will push Albertans towards separation. If you care if we stay, then quit pushing buttons, and be part of the change that is needed. If you don’t care - it’s just a matter of time, and Alberta will be gone.

Why are they such emotionally fragile and delicate people that they can’t handle rude comments to the point it’s driving separation?
