But this is not the end of the Republican Party of Alberta or the separatist movement or Smith’s tendency to kowtow to the more extreme elements of Alberta politics, writes
The separatist movement clearly exists solely in order to attempt to push pipelines. They are taking the same path as Quebec in an attempt at gaining bargaining power, and Trumps threat of annexation just made it possible.
Separatist movement is funded by USA Republicans and Russia to destabilize Canada.
Before the recent federal election the separatists were polling* at 19% which was only a couple single digit % difference more than other prairie provinces.
No. It’s all culture warriors in the Alberta Republicans right now. I don’t know if I’ve seen much about pipelines at all from them. They prefer dogwhistling - “stand up for our values”. Meanwhile, the oil industry basically owns the UCP and Danielle Smith, to the point where agriculture has kind of been pushed out.
That’s also why they lost. The oil industry is popular in Alberta, as is the idea of having our cake and eating it too, when it comes to the federation. The cultural conservative stereotype of is way off, though, even for the most part in rural areas.
Traitors to the people blocking their main export I guess. Let’s not pretend like BC NDP or Quebec are terribly helpful for Alberta’s exports, and Canada isn’t refining oil in great volumes any time soon.

Canada is owned by oil companies. Trace oil prices to Canadians dollar value and you’d see pretty quick as to why.
Or if you have the attention span this is really informative, after all the gold bug stuff:

Dress it up any way you like, they’re fucking traitors.
100% traitors.
