The Pollara data does not show massive support for secession.

Best way to hange the conversation from AHS. Right out of the MAGA Republican playbook.

The True North, strong and free!
Fight for Canada not selfishness and greed.
🇨🇦Vote Liberal!🇨🇦
He's like Rudy Gulianni in the US, irrelevant, doesn't know when to stfu and stay home 😒
BC would not want to separate from Canada or be stuck with CPC (with some Maga exception cases), and we are as western as it gets.
Preston and Daniele speak for themselves only, as far as I’m concerned.
Would the people of Alberta and Saskatchewan really be better off as territories of the US? Because that's the only way this threat of secession happens.
Maybe profit in 40 yrs? Woops, nope, Feds (WE) keep bailing it out on its loans.
Fuck Preston Manning

News flash - you're not all rich (barely anyone is) and therefore you need social programs - something conservatives are fundamentally against

"This interesting clip ... shows former Reform Party Leader Preston Manning schooling Ms. Smith on how to blackmail Canada into doing Alberta’s bidding by threatening to become the 51st state."
Manning and his tribe of Christian fascists DO NOT speak for Albertans.

Doesnt sound as strong to say "the middle of nowhere will secede"?

They’ll do better in the USA.

Try it. Pull that trigger. Whatever western expression you want.
Fuck off!
Nobody else's opinions matter?
Not the people of Atlantic Canada? Not people from Quebec or Ontario? Not Manitobans or British Columbians? Not anyone from the Territories. Not even the majority of Prairie residents?
Only the Cons matter?
Disgusting.
Fair's fair.
is still alive. The guy has about as much charisma as zombie Mitch McConnell.
We are not good at remembering.
🤣
Shocker.
So, the 'mid west' provinces... or specifically Alberta and it's fangirl, Saskatchewan, trying to hold the nation hostage when even they don't have the numbers and it's basically not possible, is tiresome.
Wow. That's some spectacular anglo math right there, that is. Levesque would like a word.
All the worst Cons we've been surviving since owe power to PM.
There must be $ riding on PP joining Trump's deatheaters for such open mafia threats
Snowflake bitches, conservatives are

If these conservatives don’t wake up soon, their children will be working in factories while finishing elementary school.
There's unprecedented levels of patriotism and unity and these old creeps are still bleating on about 20thC grievances.
What did their boy Harper ever do for AB? Nada.

Basically, separatists, you can leave but you don't get to take the land with you.
Whoops!
😀
Remember that it was the Manning Reform Party that took over the “Progressive” Conservative Party and created the right-wing-nut CPC. The west can whine about Ontario & Quebec. Some issues are valid. But mostly “do it my way or I’ll take my toys and go home” to a better, separate country.
Note, Manitoba and BC aren't interested.
Manning, whose CRAP ultimately swallowed the Progressive Conservative Party. (thx Peter McKay). finally puts his cards on the table.
he was nothing but a regional populist the whole time. had nothing to do with national or conservative.
a failed hidden agenda exposed.
oh, & we don’t do secession here in Canada. (remember the Clarity Act?) we do referendums on separation. which are always accompanied by the possibility of partition.
"Manning said the push for secession is rooted in Alberta and Saskatchewan, long angered by the Liberals' natural resource policies, but has the potential to spread to Manitoba, British Columbia and the territories."

Calgary and Edmonton will become autonomous regions depriving you of your economic engine and tax base.
I'm sorry separatists, did you think it would be YOU that get to keep the separated province?
Tax-funded healthcare? Decent schools? Oppression!!
Medical bill bankruptcies? Grade 5 reading level among citizenry?
