separation would require a referendum, which would have 0% chance of passing. nobody wants this, beside some whackos. this is all posturing by the UCP, both to their base and to the federal government.

I know seperation is not popular enough to actually make it happen, but what I don;t understand is why this point gets brought up so much by the UCP if it isn't popular enough to actually happen. If a politician/party is constantly harping about something I don't actually support, why would I vote for them? It makes no sense.

The only reason it "requires" a referendum is because Quebec went for that option in 1980, there's nothing anywhere setting the separation process in stone, so technically a referendum isn't necessary.
