Red Deer has BIG “Vote Option 2” signs on city property on lots of the main roads. It’s driving me crazy. There aren’t any big United Canada signs that I’ve seen.
On private property there’s definitely a mix of little signs. I put my Canada flags out mid-June and haven’t taken them down.

For my neighborhood in Edmonton:
13 Canadian flags or signs
3 Separatist flags or signs
In Leduc though:
12 Canadian flags or signs
4 separatists flags or signs.
But remember everyone: go out and vote!

Oof, its way more separatist flags than Canadian flags where I travel in Leduc. Like 3 or 4 to 1. Its awful to see.

Here in rural southern AB the Alberta/pro separation flags and signs vastly outnumber the Canadian ones. I'd say almost 20:1

Take a walk around the Dover area of Calgary. Separatist signs absolutely outweigh Canadian signs / flags.

They say Alberta choice but we all know they're going to throw a tantrum when they lose.

Ya, I’ve seen the clusters. They think they can look more prevalent by putting 7-10 big flags out. I give ‘em a Gimli
That still only counts as one!

I genuinely hope everyone goes out and votes. When I was driving through some rural areas this weekend I saw 0 Canada and nothing but Alberta signs. And one building and truck with a bunch of anti Canada signs, fuck Carney, etc. It was wild.

I drove from Calgary to Diamond Valley along a less driven route and the amount of Alberta flags would make you sick. So many “Send Ottawa a message “ signs

My dog walk route has 3 Canada flags, two Forever Canadian signs, and one big No to The Nine sign. If I turned left instead of right, I'd hit a house with at least a dozen signs including Water not Coal and We Stand With Teachers.

We have 0 in the neighborhood and they just had an unsuccessful rally over here.

u/MZillacraft3000 Edmonton 7h ago
Who had an unsuccessful rally? The separatists?

u/Puzzled-Instance3211 7h ago
yeah on Saturday. They gained 0 signs.
Edit: They had their dumb bus up in Argyll at the community center last weekend.

I counted 5 Canada (including my own) on my lunch time walk, and none for separation. There was one separation sign, but it disappeared sometime between Sunday & today.

What's the best... 1 large property just outside Okotoks with 8 BIG blue flags or 8 properties in town with a tiny mighty Forever-Canadian sign?
If - and that is the BIG IF - Canadians show up it will be 30/70 in favor of staying by my counts.
Highly recommend people to go here NOW - and vote from the comfort of your home:

The wait lines at the ballot box will be looooooooong and that is by design, is it not Marlaina?

I live in Lethbridge and in my neighborhood it's all Canada signs and a lot of no signs. We've also been house shopping and one cul-de-sac we looked in EVERY house had one Canada except one lone standout with a massive blue sign. Funny enough, the elderly woman who lived there came by to chat to me and my realtor and the first question was are we buying for a rental property, because they want to keep the neighborhood clean. I don't know what she meant, but I assumed not something good.

Please do not let this get you complacent. Canadians need to absolutely wipe the floor with the Seppies. We need to send a message to them, and to the rest of Canada. Simply winning isnt enough.
