@HILITINGHOCKEY So, beyond misty eyed nostalgia, your reasons for staying Canada are...?
English
I'm just gonna say:
If Maple Leaf flags vs Alberta flags are any indication of how the separatists are doing in my little Alberta town, they may as well pack their bags and focus elsewhere, because the number of Canadian flags out-numbered Alberta's easily by a margin of 40-1.
English
@HILITINGHOCKEY I live in downtown Calgary and the ratio is only barely in favour of Pearson's libflag. Nothing more based than the blue flag hanging in lower mount royal.
English
Alberta doesn't need a new flag.
Most think St. George's Cross is about the monarchy. Historically it's not. It symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.
Couldn't be a better symbol for Alberta and its independence movement.
English
@RiseOfAlberta You can be a territorial offshoot of the British Empire (which is absolutely what Alberta is, outside the most obscene cope) and also be independent of Pearsonite nu-Canada.
Trying to paint Alberta as something else entirely is FYR Macedonia level LARPing.
English
@RiseOfAlberta This is dumb.
Alberta having British roots is in no way contradictory to being an independent state which yet maintains British symbology.
Hawaii has the Union Jack in its flag, for crying out loud. As did the Republic of South Africa.

@RealSamRoberts @DastDn Forget the Ptolemies, Ramessid Pharaohs conducted archeological excavations and restorations on what were already ancient relics.
English
@DastDn The Pyramids and the Sphinx are so old that Ptolemaic Pharaohs employed scholars to figure out who built them and for what purpose.

Hittite Empire was a Great Power of the Bronze Age for 400 years, rivalling Egypt.
After it collapsed, the obliteration was so total that until 19th century Hittites were considered a small apocryphal clan, whose only mention came from a throw-away character in the Bible.

What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

@BreakingATMs @LaserAud Quebec is a French-speaking Ontario.

“Western Canada has no identity”
-takes a peek
It’s Anglo-Protestantism

@Shagarchist I've said it before: Canada will be the North Korea of woke. Stuck forever in 2015 while the rest of the world moves on.

LEAF's are basically the last large group of people on Earth that "muh Racism" and "cLiMaTe ChAnGe!1!" actually works on still.
That is honestly as much of a driving cultural divide between the West and the Laurentian Confederacy as any economic or liberty concerns.

Not that I think Carney particularly cares but if there’s one thing I know about Alberta separatists it’s that no amount of capitulation will ever be enough. The separatist movement’s rooted deeply in anti-Indigenous racism, perpetual self-victimhood and conspiracy theories.

@xtremeleafan @nationalpost The most boomer, Leaf fan take.

@JulianHeliosII He isn't wrong, though perhaps accidentally.
Wait until you learn the majority language of the fathers of confederation. And the mother tongue of the first two prime ministers.

@JakeLangford94 @avidseries South Africa had multiple wars (Zulu wars, Boer Wars) in which all sides were relatively recent arrivals. At least compared to the Khoi San.
English
@avidseries Canada might be one of the first countries to ever have a civil war where both sides fighting aren't even Canadian.

@007_Hunter_ Ensign-LARPers, who live in one of the most radically progressive polities on Earth, would love to have a fraction of the support separatism enjoys in Alberta.
Laurentian trads are as relevant as Egyptian Osiris-worshippers were in 400 AD. Defeated.

@LokiJulianus Pilgrims: finally untouched land, we are free from those accused anglicans and Catholics

@MiloGaillard3 @TM9380 @sinequalis Which is why there's so much speculation as to their relation.
I tend to presume that it was either a direct ancestor or close "sibling", possibly analogous to what Neanderthals were for Homo sapiens. But I'm just an amateur nerd.
English
@TM9380 @sinequalis Really? I thought it was better studied. I guess the lack of descriptions is why I struggle to think of what distinguishes Gorgosaurus from Albertosaurus.
English
While it’s fairly well known with several specimens and papers including it, Gorgosaurus is actually painfully underdescribed as a species. Especially when compared to some of its closer kin…
English
@SandyofCthulhu @NoahRayWrites The Age of Fire series gets very into this sort of thing. Suspiciously so, even.
English
@NoahRayWrites Also they hardly ever explain where dragons poop.

Tell me you don't read enough fantasy without telling me you don't read enough fantasy.
She-Rage, Princess of Pain@ClaireMax
Why do fantasy worlds never discuss how the women in them deal with their periods? Like we can have multiple fucking scenes of men pissing and shitting in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms but no the concept of a period is too gross to even be mentioned in any fantasy universe
