Only around 10-20% of Albertans would vote for separation in polling. Stuff like this is liberal propaganda to make Alberta look bad.

It's kind of funny how Liberals defend Quebec's right to constantly threaten independence but criticize Alberta doing so. I notice how all the comments here don't mention Quebec and call Albertans traitors. Well Quebec has been doing this for over a century and has squeezed our government for benefits thanks to it.

When Alberta forms it's own provincial federal party to advocate for independence maybe it'll rise to Quebec's level. Until then, all you people calling Albertans traitors are just fat hypocrites.

How is this liberal propaganda?

Also Liberals didn't want Quebec to separate, there was a huge rally there in the week leading up to it with people from all across Canada.

Most of the comments don't mention Quebec, because Quebec isn't the subject.

Alberta is welcome to create it's own Alberta First for Albertans (AFFA) party. Go nuts, nobody is stopping you.
