A new Angus Reid Institute poll shows that if a referendum were held tomorrow, one in four Albertans would vote to leave Canada.

    It’s hard knowing that 1/4 to 1/3 of my fellow Albertans don’t see value in being a part of Canada.

    On the other hand, 3/4 to 2/3 do… So there’s that!

      There is always gonna be the bottom 1/4 who constantly work against their own best interests, it’s inevitable.

    Bye, idiot traitors.

    You aren’t special and your oil doesn’t make you so. Good luck with the fossil fuels.

      Its especially dumb as a landlocked province…

      I agree with you - those who don’t like being part of Canada should leave… They can find out if the grass is in fact greener.

      It’d be a much better headline inverted. (Unfortunately less clicks?)

      Now that said, there’s also the effect where this type of article stokes nationalism in the majority of the population - and that may play into a shift away from supporting the UCP and by extension/relation the CPC in some cases.

      I’m seeing many more canadian flags on houses these days. 🇨🇦
