      It’s not like they were neutrally phrased.

      “Do you want Alberta to be able to lower immigration back down to sustainable levels”

      Like, come on.

        I mean, they raised immigration up to non-sustainable levels in the first place, so why shouldn’t they be able to lower their immigration back again? Other than rank incompetence, of course.

      I feel like it’s possible the separation question was a distraction so people weren’t talking about the other questions.

        I do l’t think the other 9 questions needed a referendum either. The government isn’t restricted from pursuing any of the things it listed. It was just window dressing for the separation question.

        Now peeps some of the more reflective of the bunch can think about why they were so convinced they were going to win the vote. What and who manipulated them? There was never the support, it wasn’t a media conspiracy, or the CBC working for Trudeau.

        Voter fraud will be the conclusion by the most brainwashed of the cult members.

      Daylight time didn’t pass.

      Removing equalization payments passed -I guess they already forgot 2020 oil prices.

      Anti-immigration passed, Alberta ICE , ICE, baby -across three questions.

      Senate abolition passed -I’m cool with that. Elect a Senate or GTFO.

      I strongly doubt most voters understood the big words in those questions.

        Look I am old and have a farm and I don’t know much about anything except for cows, pigs, barley, and that immigrants are to blame for my failing crops.
