Large numbers of Albertans are lining up in freezing weather to sign a petition for independence. If they win independence, they will get a huge raise. However, they need 177,732 valid signatures to move ahead. That is a high bar. They believe Prime Minister Mark Carney is pivoting to Europe at the expense of Canada.
We will see how it goes.

From defense contracts — like Swedish-made Gripen fighter jets — to aligning our industrial subsidies with the EU’s “Green Deal,” Ottawa is increasingly adopting a “Brussels Effect,” creating new red tape for American firms while cozying up to Paris and Berlin.

2 hours after the event started in Queensland in SE Calgary, there was still a large line-up of people waiting to sign the petition.

Lawyers are assuring Albertans, including First Nations, that no treaties are impacted by this petition.
To our fellow Albertans including all First Nations members in Alberta: there is no need for alarm about Alberta’s independence petition.
Your Treaty rights and Aboriginal rights are not threatened by Alberta independence.
The Treaties are contracts at law, solemn agreements… https://t.co/VHXXamoZ1i pic.twitter.com/y2neqOoG4W

The FAR-LEFT-TARDS of Ottawa need Alberta MUCH, MUCH more than Alberta needs them:
“Alberta has significant oil reserves, primarily found in the oil sands, with estimates of around 167 billion barrels, making it one of the largest oil reserves in the world, ranking third after Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.”
