Corporate media is lying to all of us. That 24% represents people trapped in a whirlpool of lies telling them that Alberta makes sense on its own(it doesn’t), that if they join the US they will have any kind of say(they won’t), and that if they do all of that the boom times of the 90s and 00s will come back(they are gone.)
It’s hilarious that they think the US would even let them join. Maybe if they are lucky they would be declared a us territory or something similar to Puerto Rico.
They wouldn’t have a say in government. Why would America bring them into the fold. Oil? America would be better off keeping them landlocked and desperate with their only options to sell oil to America or back to Canada for pennies on the dollar. Or wait for the oil industry to collapse because nothing can be sold and then when Alberta is desperate, come in and sweep up everything for American companies to buyout cheap and then keep Albertans as wage slaves.
That 25% includes both the shitstain separatists who have always been here, as well as the none-too-bright “send Ottawa a message!” idiots who wouldn’t actually vote for separation.
For decades I’ve heard numbers of 5-15% of the province are actively separatists. Seems pretty consistent.
Shockingly high numbers of traitors.

“I love the poorly educated”
Its not just them though. It is all of us. Every time you pay attention to Global or CTV, they’re just as bad, only more subtle.
Think of how even the “better” media in the US nevertheless misrepresented why we are angry at the 51st state comments into being about tariffs.

Honestly, not really.

The message has been getting spammed for over half a century at this point.
It is why Trudeau Sr failed to nationalize Canada’s oil fields. A failure which has only benefitted the US.
