The real danger is voter apathy, with Albertans figuring there's no way separation will win based on the high number of sigs on the petition so they don't bother voting, much like Brexit.

The last AB referendum showed 38.7% of eligible voters voted. If that number holds the same, and your number of 30% want to separate is correct, it's over. Every single traitor is going to vote, which could result in a landslide separatist win with 77% of voters voting to separate.

You think the people who signed the Forever Canadian petition are all people who want to leave Canada?

Haha no, where did you get that out of what I said?

My bad, it seemed like you were implying that the 38.7% of people who signed the Forever Canadian petition and the 30% who are (or at least were) for Alberta separatism were the exact same group.
