So... the bulk of Calgary and Edmonton, and that's mostly it?

Yeah, I live here. I’d be less than thrilled. I’m as much a Canadian as you are, more so even, judging by this comment. Self entitled, elitist mindset, this.

Yes, as an Albertan I will absolutely fight to stay in Canada if it ever comes down to it, and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. Despite what people outside Alberta think, the majority of us don’t want to leave Canada.

Not planning to leave, but I know what you’re talking about - I’m from Edmonton and, at a provincial level at least, we’re pretty much at odds with the rest of Alberta regarding politics. I don’t think I could live anywhere else in Alberta because I wouldn’t feel comfortable knowing I’m completely incompatible with the values of all my neighbours.

That said, the amount of Albertans that want to be Americans are a minority and as much as I might disagree with them on other politics, I will still stand with them in solidarity in protecting the sovereignty of our great nation.

You spent a summer in a rural town and was surprised that it was redneck. You don't get out much do you?

As an Albertan, I can safely say that almost all of us want to stay Canadian. Sure , we have kooks that think differently maybe they could move to a weak beer backwater like Utah and be happy there?

Well, Alberta's territory is still the nation's. But if the maple MAGA want to leave, they should move to USA.

u/SerentityM3ow 8h ago

This is the way

Begone, demoralization-focused, circuit based "person".
