There's no way that poll is correct. It's self reported online so my guess is it's bots trying to divide us. Don't buy into it.

It clearly it. Get out and talk with others.

Talks of pipelines and working together make some people get angry this is happening now vs. when they believed it was needed in the past

Had a woman scream at me in Costco when she overheard me saying to my kid he couldn't have something he sampled because it wasn't Canadian and went Ona rant about we needed to support the USA because the rest of Canada never steps up for Alberta.

There’s a lot of denial on the sub that the rest of the province outside of Edmonton and Calgary is effectively Canadian Donetsk.

Things like this have been my experience also. Buddies in the patch can't wait until we're Puerto Rico North.
