I'm from the UK as is my mother who emigrated to Calgary 18 years ago. I am completely dumb founded as to why many Albertans would want to become a US state. Do they actually think life is going to improve for them? It just seems insane. I really hope this fails.

That would make for a strange looking border!

it wont happen - this is all driven by yankee lizard people funding, which will dry up once shit breaks loose down there

...then we will deal with this the Canadian way - investigate and charge them for sedition and them put the traitours in jail

The organizers are framing this as Alberta becoming a sovereign country, not becoming a US state. They have talked about wanting to become a US state in the past, and met with the Trump administration etc, but I think they are playing that part down to make the referendum seem more palatable to people

Seditious traitors, funded by yankees

Canada will endure, america will fall just like the soviets
