This was pretty close to my guesstimate of 25% voting to separate, with a significant percentage of those voting only to get Ottawa’s attention.
I do believe, if the Senate is to stay, that it should be more representative of populations of the provinces of Canada. Currently far too many from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.
The Senate should be abolished. Bunch of crusty old fucks who are appointed, not elected is about as far away from democracy as it gets
I wouldn’t say abolished, but elected would be better.
Here’s what the rest of Canada says to the separatists aka traitors:
The worry remains that the other 9 questions gives the government a mandate, which nobody wanted a referendum on anyways.
People are literally voting for the alberta government to try and abolish the federal senate.
Ffs
Oh good. I mean how far down would you have to dig to uproot everything you want to take with you?
Where would they go? Make their own country? I have a feeling this is from the biggest idiots in Canada that can’t think past 2 years.
The US would swallow it up and Trump would promptly try to rename it Trumpland
The only realistic answer is to look over at Crimea.
It was so poorly thought through lol. I was arguing with someone about it and they were talking about how much money Alberta is going to save and I was like “In what currency? Because if you leave, d’you think Canada is still going to let you use the Canadian dollar?” and it was like it genuinely hadn’t occurred to them.
And also, Treaty land is federal, not provincial. How was that supposed to work? Never got a good answer on that either.
Alberta would’ve had to be carved up. I wonder if the bigger cities like Calgary and Edmonton would have voted to stay in Canada leaving only the rural rabble to break off.
From the referendum results so far today it looks like that way, yeah. 80-90% in most of the city areas seem to have voted to stay, it’s just higher out in the sticks.
Join America.
Now that this is off the table, the minority that voted for a referendum should join hands with all Canadians and put the entire country forward. Be constructive instead of destructive!
Looks like most, if not all, of the right wing power grab original 9 questions are passing though
And good luck to them getting movement on any of them.
Questions 6-9 say “working with the governments of other willing provinces”, so hopefully the other provinces will just tell Alberta to fuck off and then we don’t have to worry about those, but you never know.
Other provinces have already so much as said fuck off lol
Half of the questions are racist AF anyways. Proof of citizenship to vote? What kind of fucked up Orwellian world do these dumb-ass white motherfuckers want to live in?

If the count finished right now, most of those questions would be a mandate to pursue
For sure - but they’re going to burn so much energy, and stir up so much shit, trying. Such a waste.
Remain - 76.2% | 1,040,038
Referendum - 23.8% | 325,093The separatists are already calling this a win… somehow
We knew from the start that they were not very bright.
Hopefully we can put this idiocy to rest now.
They’re just going to get louder
Hopefully it costs Danielle her job.
at some point this morning she needs to resign. she has to.
also I’m of the opinion that her and the 23% that voted for this need to be arrested by the RCMP for treason but that’s just a hollow pipe dream of mine.
Why would she possibly resign? She allowed the referendum to keep the most extreme parts of her base happy, but spoke just enough of unity to keep the other ones happy. She’d probably win an election tomorrow because at the end of the day the majority of voting Albertans is stupid
And now neither of those parts of her base are happy.
don’t hold your breath, maple magas have zero shame or take any pride in their work
She won’t. There will be no accountability. If she resigns it will be because her band of traitors stab her in the back, not out of any sense of obligation to step down, down the right thing or anything approximating moral clarity.
Lmao
Ah so liberals rigged the vote?
