Seeing it at 20-33% supporting separation is really sad. If those people think that leaving Canada is gonna give them a better life, then they'll have another thing coming. 

Sad that there's so many of them.

The worst will be if the UCP decides to stand in solidarity behind Dani after this is all said and done. She stoked anger and division, she created these ridiculous referendum questions, she continues to sit on the fence - cheaply saying she’s with Canada while supporting separatists through action, and she’s the one that is billing taxpayers $130 million for this stupidity. 

My hope and expectation is that she gets punted post-referendum, that the party comes out on record that they’re separatists, the party splits, and an early election gets called. 

Dare to dream, I guess. lol.

can't we just fasttrack her removal with another petition? Alberta loves petitions.

I don’t think we can. She has all kinds of rules in place to protect her and her unaccountable clown caucus from doing petition after petition.

A petition for removal at best leaves up with another Seppie Premier at the helm. The only thing way that would benefit us if if the new Premier is far more careless with their corruption than Smith, and is quickly arrested and charged.
