This has been obvious for some time. They use the exact same talking points and try to drive a wedge between different communities. The problem is Canada has a different national identity than the US does, so we have different view on the world. We recognize and cherish that we are a nation built by immigration. Yes, there will always be some racism, and it is being amplified by bad actors with an agenda, but we are also the most educated nation so we can mostly see through the rhetoric. I hope.

The rural conservatives of alberta are ignorant pig people ready to do violence against their city dwelling countrymen.

The seperation referendum will fail because of Calgary and Edmonton and when that happens the people who live in those cities better watch out.

It was going ok until social media. Now they believe anything except facts.

? the only really stanch separatists I know are just as much from Calgary as areas around it. They are generally considered really, really dumb in rural Alberta. These are the same people who did anti UN parades and what not.

I don't know why people have to assume that outside of a city people become wild uncivilized traitors.

The last election was about CDN sovereignty and 92% of Alberta ridings went to a party who has twice had a US citizen as leader.

Alberta is difficult to underestimate, and the cowboy cosplay goes far. Nice purse.

Oh I also don't get the UCP love in Alberta, they are terrible and only seem to push "NDP bad, Fed bad with a side of corruption". But its still a jump to full blown treason for most of Alberta.
