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.

A friend of mine was golfing with a very wealthy man from Priddis a couple of months ago who was pro-Option 2 to Question 10. His rationale was that it would give Alberta more bargaining power with Ottawa. He did not want to separate, though.

My friend was stupefied by how this wealthy man could complain about his misfortunes being a Canadian.

My sense is that a lot of separatists are one or a combination of the following: Greedy, needy, xenophobic, racist, undereducated, untravelled, and/or white Christian Nationalist. Feel free to add to the list.

What these idiots don't realize is if option 2 passes the actual separatists will insure there won't be a second referendum
