"Educate yourselves." Ok. Let's go.
Alberta has 10 referendum ballots on Oct. 19. I went through every one.
I love Alberta. I love Canada. I don't believe those things conflict.
Here's how I'm voting, and why. 🧵

BREAKING:
@ABDanielleSmith suffers another Alberta referendum set back as the only one of her nine questions on which she had scored over 60% just dropped below that threshold
She no longer has a mandate for anything
@cspotweet@LukaszukAB When will the media grow a pair and challenge this bullshit outright? Right there. Interrupt her lie.
Just do it, for the love of Pete!
Today, I’m taking my Alberta flag back.
I’m tired of seeing it claimed by a separatist movement I do not support. If Alberta is your home, it’s your flag too.
I want Alberta’s future to be in Canada.
Fiercely Albertan. Proudly Canadian.

This is exactly why we need to stop handing out participation trophies.
“Don’t let them redefine victory,” says the guy already polishing a trophy for 25%.
Apparently, independence from arithmetic comes first.
Before the votes are tallied, I wanted to be clear about something that they're going to try and take from us.
The definition of victory.
If as much as 25% elect for option 2 on the only question that matters... this is not a win for "remain."
It's a victory for independence.
1/4 of the province (of which had doubled in size since this bs immigration scheme) is on board with cutting ties.
That's not 2 crazy dudes in Didsbury. That's every 4th person.
Maybe we won't get to further the process... but we will get to make our point clear: a huge chunk of us are so dissatisfied with the present status quo that we want to walk away from it all.
From this day forth, politicians will see that number on the page and know that it they don't find a way to bring those people into the discussion, they've lost them.
Don't let them redefine victory and marginalize our struggles.
But of course, I want option 2 to pass.
