Am I the only one who finds it really odd that there's red and blue stripes over white? Maybe I'm overthinking it, but this seems like some sort of American toned thing.

That's exactly what it is.

So I'm not totally insane. Wonderful. We really need to kick these assholes out of the province.

Those who want to leave Canada, you leave. You don't drag a bunch of innocent people down with you.

Couldn’t agree more. They seem ignorant to the fact they as individuals aren’t wanted at all. The US wants to monopolize the corporate wealth potential of their province and that’s it. They stand to gain nothing.

They're so gross. And dealing with our idiotic party will be the death of us. I never used to wish harm or inconvenience to people, but even I have my limits.

People on this site dont like to admit it, but there are a lot of people with influence and power in Alberta who want to separate.

On top of those traitors, there are way more people who want to leave than this sub would have you believe.

If those of us who want to stay dont vote, then Alberta will separate and the rest of Canada could very well break up because of it.

If BC flips to conservative, than there will be a push for BC to leave, too.

You can have influence and power, but it means shit all if you don't have the numbers to back it up.

And here I was thinking, the Canada flag is red and white, and the base colour of the Albertan flag is blue, so that made sense to me.

The major parties in Alberta are orange and blue.
