We are going to see a lot of this: people using the referendum campaign to promote their own agendas; campaigning for a "united Canada" on the basis that their preferred remedies for "addressing separatist concerns" are adopted. And if they are not?
The premise of all of this "pro-Canada" campaigning (see also: Danielle Smith) is that Canada has to prove itself to be worthy of saving -- that one of the most successful countries in the history of the world has to beg for the right to exist. That may be many things but it's not pro-Canada.

@EspritAlberta@jkenney And… it’s so easy. All what is required is to make AB votes unpredictable and easy to flip from one side to another. The predictable solid blue is undermining Alberta’s voice. No matter what government is in place, nobody cares.
@L3roy_j3nk1ns@Lalas1293@Hitchslap1 Maybe achievable, but desitable? Most of people (women and man) will prefer < 4 judged on esthetics. If you believe otherwise, you were duped.
I’m so tired of the separatists saying “Albertans want…”
I’m Albertan. I do not want what you want.
Then they come at me with “well you’re not a TRUE Albertan.”
Dude, I pay higher insurance, wait forever in ER’s & cheer for the Oilers. I’m all in.
Sorry, not sorry.
@CSmartarsery@jengerson You must be joking! Oh, I see, resources in your mind are just the things underground that you sell to other people for them to get ahead. AB needs to get rid of this mindset.
The problem I think Conservatives are going to run into here is that Mark Carney actually is speaking for the majority of Albertans on this issue. The polling shows that clearly.
The Conservatives purporting to speak for "Albertan grievances" are really only speaking for their Albertans.
@mattgurney@jengerson Matt and Jenn, also I (mostly) find myself slightly left of your positions, I greatly appreciate your efforts and find heartening that that not all conservatives are the Smith/PP types. I really enjoy reading both of you!
