They had double digit thousands signed just days before turning in… then the voter list scandal broke and suddenly they have hundreds of thousands… These clowns are going to jail for fraud and everyone knows it.
I’m tempted to see the Venn diagram of separatists and measles patients.
This f..k doesn't look real Canadian. Whats his gain. Im indejinous and will go all the way to stop this. Warning now.
Alberta will going bankrupt if going independant,renewable energy will replace energy
Sask next
Less than the 450-thousand signatures that the opposing Forever Canadian petition got……these Albertoid losers have a lot of difficulty being told "No"
The outcome of the vote to leave Canada will be the same as the Quebec independence vote, and that vote to leave Canada will have the same outcome as the Quebec vote.
Alberta will fail to seperate, why will it fail, because the conservative party will not fully support the separation vote, Pierre Poilievre is not the best friend of the separation vote, he is a foe of it. The separation of Alberta will fail, just like the Quebec separation badly failed in the 1990's, because of prime minister Jean Chretien.
Now that they have turned in the petition, they will check all names, hope there isn't anything fishy in there or it will undermine their movement.
300,000 names out of a population of 5 million😂
But now the votes hit the quota and is under investigation. there was a huge data breach where the separatist group managed to get peoples names addresses and used peoples names for votes without there knowledge by using a app which they uploaded names/numbers/addresses to. There is an emergency court proceeding happening. That separatist group managed to get 2.9 million names illegally.
Arson season arrives.
Those signatures came from rural communities; Edmonton and Calgary overwhelmingly like what Carney is doing. Gotta stop right wing nut jobs, who adore trump from, making Canada into another POS country like America is right now.
HA! LIBIRALS WILL THROW AWAY THOSE SIGNATURES
Free alberta 😊
Given the recent voter data leak that compromised the personal information of millions of Albertans and unfairly advantaged the separatist movement, any current plans for a referendum should be immediately put on hold to protect those whose privacy was breached. Moving forward now would compromise the integrity of the democratic process.Instead, we need a clear national referendum where all Canadians have a say. The question should be a simple yes or no: 'If the 7/50 threshold is met, do you support the separation of Alberta from Canada?'Holding one decisive national vote would be a major win for several reasons:Empowers Victims: It allows the millions of Albertans whose data was leaked to use their voices legitimately and securely at the ballot box, rather than being targeted by a compromised process.Saves Millions: A single, clear national vote would avoid the recurring, massive expenses seen in Quebec’s history, where referendums and ongoing sovereignty uncertainty have cost the public hundreds of millions of dollars.The Final Word: Most importantly, this must be the last option. If the vote is 'no,' it represents the final democratic consensus of the entire country. There would be no justification for further separation attempts, ending the cycle once and for all
Can't give away land that ISN'T YOURS
Treaties in Canada are legally binding agreements between the Crown and Indigenous nations that, while often focusing on the cession of land, are governed by the overarching legal principle that a party cannot give away land they do not own or possess
Lol. You arent going anywhere. If anything quebec and ontario should kick all the other provinces out
Thank you for all participants and all team members 🙏🙏🙏
This is illegal , Alberta will never separate from Canada
I hope the government will stop this nonsense
Doesnt really matter. I dont think Smith can avoid a referendum even if it doesnt have the signatures.
And we know that it will go pretty much like Alberta provincial elections and the 'most' votes for separation will be conservatives in rural areas. THe cities will vote to stay in canada. Its VERY unlikely that it will hit 50%, especially after recent news, and in most polls a LOT of albertans admit they are doing it as a bargaining chip with Ottawa. Now a couple of new pipelines have been announced, and most certainly those pipelines would be cancelled if there were suddenly a 'brexit'.
But the sooner october comes and they have the referendum, the sooner it stops being an issue.
All of Canada must vote, not just Alberta
So the wannabe Americans have listed for
Quislings.
They don't own the land. Give them a free Tim Hortons donut to drive across the border.
I don’t blame them. The country has been run for the benefit of the east.
Shame !
Yooze guys bin ta skool! 🤣🤣🤣
More to come Alberta is ready to prosper
❤❤❤ Forever Canada ❤❤❤ 450,000 signatures
Forever Canada had over 400 000 why they ignoring that
300K signatures sounds right. They had 4 months so that's 75K avg/month. Forever Canada got 450K in 3 months last summer, an avg of 150K/month or double the rate as the separatist signatures. Just like the polls show at least twice the number of Albertans want to stay in Canada than separate.
This release of the list it’s just a sabotage to the separation debate
Trace this problem to its roots and you will find
the fraud of central banking and the 3 Uniparty system
owned by the corporatocracy
impoverishing the (private sector) working class
leading to mass disillusionment and anger.
The result is much division in society
and now apparently separatism.
1:25 take you , your kids and those that wants to go with you to the place you want to go and leave our country alone.
❤❤Alberta Independence!❤❤
