The number of separatists in Alberta is very small, but every single one of them will vote in the separation referendum. It’s critical that everyone who doesn’t want separation votes as well, or else this could easily be Canada’s own Brexit moment.

Don’t assume anything. Vote.

Please don’t assume anything, Alberta. Vote against the Russian and American-fuelled separation self-sabotage. Send a strong message to the rest of Canada that we’re in this together. Foreign actors want you to vote for your own Brexit or Trump… or to help them win by just staying home.

14% of the citizen of Quebec voted for the Party Quebecois and now that is the government. With this sort of election law no wonder people don’t believe in democracy.

Quebec just voted out the CAQ, a party that was so fucking racist and primitive it celebrated Black History Month like this. Progress.

“With 97 per cent of polls reporting, the #PQ was on track to receive less than 30 per cent of the popular vote – which would be the lowest share of support for a #government in #Quebec history.” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

So… my closing thought for the night

18.19% of voters elected a minority government that will affect 100% of the population… including a possible separation referendum.

(Voters for winning party divided by registered voters) […]
