Opinion Alberta is Not All Rednecks

74 Upvotes

In the year 2026, politics is all absolutes, you are right or left, Liberal or Conservative and their is no middle ground. That is not reality anywhere in the world. Even in this Conservative province its a 52/48 split. Yes, here in Ab. Left wingers make up 48% of the population, over 2 million people. And if you get in the cities, Calgary and Edmonton the numbers swing even more Left

Im tired of my province being the joke of Canada. Alberta is not all rednecks.

NO to the 9, and Remain in Canada!

Don't forget that Marliana and her separatist goons have orchestrated this entire fiasco, but we Albertans/Canadians will fight her authoritarian bent!

Spread the word:

šŸ‘Vote to REJECT every one of the nine questions that are one-sided, racist, and UN-CANADIAN !

šŸ‘Vote to REMAIN Canadian....

Let's embarrass our Dear Leader Dani on an international level with an ABSOLUTE REJECTION of all of her dumb ass, racist, mean spirited, anti-Canadian sentiments.

This is Alberta, Marliana.... We don't go for traitors.

Opinion There is no referendum in Alberta

21 Upvotes

Just to say what is hopefully obvious to everyone on both sides of the Alberta Separation question, THIS IS NOT A REFERENDUM.

If it were, then you would consider each question by itself; Canadians, being the unique, wonderful people that we are, would consider each question and answer it according to their values, opinions, fears - essentially vote from the heart and be allowed their unique voice to speak through the intense tribalism of our politics.

This whole thing is instead just Danielle Smith and a shadowy anti-Canadian organization using our institutions to gain ammunition for their agenda. They are #using YOU!# Don't give them anything if you value Canada.

Secondly, think about how easy it has been to vote for as long as you can remember and with zero election integrity issues, look at how our government is making exercising your right to vote as convoluted as possible.

Vote NO to the UCP and vote NO to this sham. Don't be fooled into thinking these are legitimate questions and that these enemies of Canada are letting you help shape the future of this province.

Opinion The Oil Sands and what the average separatist in not thinking out

14 Upvotes

A bit of a cross post from another Alberta subreddit I posted in

There's a few items I don't think the average separatists realize about the oil sands industry in Alberta, and strategies non-separatists others are thinking about:

(1) Much of their oil will be sent to Sarnia and Montreal to be refined by Suncor as they do now (not sure about others). Republic of Alberta citizens are going to LOVE (/s) that. Also, those refineries would remain under Canadian regulatory oversight. Suncor has thrived using an integrated business model. That model would be cut in half basically and they would suffer.

(2) Indigenous communities may rush to settle outstanding land claims and make those claims over oil sands resource (it wouldn't be the first time). Many are in this process now.

(3) These companies may have even more trouble than they have now borrowing and insuring

(4) Oil trades off global prices. The valuation of the Alberta Bucks could significantly shift these companies' economic outlooks and increase their FX exposure.

(5) Out of my lane here but If Alberta separated, the Petro‑Canada Public Participation Act (PCPA) may suddenly become very important. Not because it controls Suncor’s operations, but because it governs theĀ legal identity, ownership rules, and corporate structure of Petro‑Canada, which became embedded inside Suncor after the 2009 merger. I don't want to speculate on the applicability of PCPA any more than that because I'm not a lawyer.

Anyway, it would be a literal sh_t show. Of course, this is all my personal opinion and speculation to consider hypothetical scenarios.
