Alberta is having a referendum in October where the main issue is whether it should separate from Canada. However, that is not the only question that will be asked. Many of the other questions have to do wth immigration, one’s “legal status,” and most of all giving the provinces more power.

One of the questions is about abolishing the federal senate. Another question that hit me hard was that they want to give the provinces more power to opt out of certain government programs, which isn’t great because Alberta has already messed around with disability programs here. Alberta wants to give less and less to people.

Just wanted to get everyone’s thoughts on this whole thing.

I think at worst it will just lead to more freedom for them in terms of control from the central government (which is pretty bad). But peaceful secession sounds impossible. But also Canada keeps surprising me with being a bit spineless.
