It is both hilarious and sad how the F**k Trudeau/51st State crowd in Alberta believes that they are the majority. They are really just the loudest. 🙄

I know this is anecdotal at best but I work in a very rural and northern part of Alberta and the people around me (work colleagues and other people) and it seems that they are getting more comfortable saying 51st state things out loud...

I wonder how this topic is trending within that group?

Two thirds? 80% is 4/5ths

May want to re-read the snippet there...

As an Albertan this feels like one of those things the media is going to contribute toward in terms of attention. Like, pretty sure 18% of *ontario* said they wanted to leave Canada if Carney won. This feels like irresponsible journalism, they just keep handing the mic to the weirdo on the corner.

Hmm, is it worth the paywall? I don't read much from 338 outside of elections.

Paywall free.

The “western alienation” narrative sounds more like 80% western exceptionalism and 17% persecution complex.

“We’re better than the rest of Canada and that’s why you hate us."
