And the really funny part is that its now been taken up by the silly separatists (or what ever they are calling them self's this week) just like the Forever Canadian group assumed they would as by law they can not have 2 referendums at the same time on the same issue. Its gold since the one that has been signed and approved does not say if Alberta leaves, so even if somehow (though dirty deeds no doubt) the referendum comes back with a "No" result that does not mean separation and there is a cool down time so hopefully this can be done and dusted.

Great play by the Forever Canadian people.

Unfortunately Bill 14 does away with the rule that you can't have two referendums on the same issue within five years. The Forever Canadian question that is now before the Legislature is very clear: "Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?"

They aren't silly, they are stupid. Press them on any point, their arguments are nonsense and crumble against the slightest logic and a handful of facts.

These are the same people that tell me the government is putting chemicals into legal weed to track people when they later unlegalise cannabis. The point is that this is not a large movement, but a fringe loud group that gets way more attention then they warrant. Don't let me stop you from calling these people out though, they do deserve the criticism but not so much the coverage.
