Im with a lot of Albertans who are (rightly) ticked off at how much our province has been taken advantage of by the east for decades now. We DO want to voice our displeasure (thus the Convoy) and Im uncomfortable but see the necessity of the sabre rattling as a tool for negotiating a fairer deal for Alberta in Ottawa. It's worked for Quebec for years, we're just copying their strategy.

But will separation actually happen? Nope. The clear majority don't support it. Would some in America like it? Sure, they already buy our oil at a huge discount, they would love it if they just owned it all. But you gotta be a whole lot of wingnut to believe that jumping into bed with the shitshow that is the US administration would be in any way better than what we have now. There are definitely some separatists here, but they are a small but loud minority.

Albertans and Quebecois both are and are going to be astroturfed by the US into thinking separatists movements exist with the assistance of Postmedia. Be prepared.
