It’s my understanding that a referendum petition is about the phrasing of the question that’s presented to go on the referendum ballot.
The pro-Canada group “won” the right to petition for their question to go on the ballot as they submitted before the anti-Canada traitors could. Basically, stay in Canada vs leave Canada.
Am I just an idiot, or is the safest thing for AB to do is not sign regardless of who is asking? If this petition gets enough sigs all it means is that this will be the question asked on the ballot for referendum instead of the leave question right? But if it fails, there won’t be a referendum at all.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me this is being proposed as a petition to stay in Canada, but it’s really a petition to trigger a referendum with “stay in Canada” as the question instead of “leave Canada”.
But if we don’t sign either way it’s worded then we don’t have to defend anything.
It seems to me that this is an effort to create a “Brexit” scenario. Enough people sign the stay petition thus putting separation up for referendum. When the time comes people say “it obviously won’t pass, I won’t bother voting”.
You don’t have to sign anything. But sign or not sign, this is almost for sure going to referendum. It’s creating a brexit-like scenario regardless of what happens here.
I’m also pretty sure turnout on this one will be pretty high. If it’s not, well this province and their citizens deserves to be the new Puerto Rico. A territory that will just get raided without any say or any economic reward (except for the traitors who swung the door open).
