    I’d be extremely skeptical of people saying they wouldn’t leave.

        Isn’t that exactly how brexit happened?

          Yep, but it wasn’t supposed to be binding so they could have used it to set the wheel in motion to negotiate better conditions as part of the European Union

        That may be helpful in curtailment of efforts to persuade fence-sitters.

            Yes. I’ve seen it in the US and hence my trepidation for Canada.

        Which is why they lowered that number.

        Most people in Alberta are Canadians through and through, whatever blowhards like Smith want to think.

        The sooner she fucks off down to a plush energy company board seat in the States, the better we’ll all be.

      What does “leave” mean in this context? A vote to leave?

        Yes. Sometimes people hide unpopular opinions, until they’re popular.

          Sometimes people hold unpopular opinions privately until they’re examined under the spotlight. Then they realize that’s not actually their opinion. See: Brexit.

      You think 100% of Albertans and Saskatchewanians want to split from Canada?
