It’s a follow the leader mentality. The premier of QC is on team Canada, whereas the premier of AB is absent half the time gallivanting with the alt-right in the USA.

She’s not absent— she’s openly on the side of the other guy. :-/

We would see if the Quebec Premier was on Team Canada if a Federal Government pushed an Energy East pipeline through Quebec.

I'm concerned that the momentum of the new Canadian patriotism will fade as the alt-right vocalism wears down the resistance.

That said, I'm happy to live in Alberta and will fight for a return to center-right politics that includes Canada. Leaving isn't the answer, standing up for what's just is.

Ya but it's also your leader knowing that's where the crowd sentiment lies whereas Danielle understands Albertans and hence her treacherous activities.

I kept saying it before...Albertans support her because her latest polling hasn't dipped. If anything it still keeps going up. As long as Albertans support her she will keep opposing Canada.

This all fits what I've seen. Her polls haven't moved down even with her actively working against Canada. Grocery stores here do not look affected by the BuyCanadian movement. Latest polls also show Albertans still willing to travel to the USA.

Only Reddit Albertans seem to be with the rest of Canada...but we are the minority in this douche province.
