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.

If you think Brexit was good because it weakened the EU then you should agree with Albertan secessionism.

It will weaken Canada and make Alberta more vulnerable to be devoured by outside capitalist powers.
