My take: You can't convince a separatist to embrace reality. They are too far gone. But referendums are won by something called 'voter intensity'. How determined are you to vote? Are Remain Albertans determined to move heaven and earth to get to the polls?

Canada 🇨🇦 is taking over Twitter this week, so what better time to show off Calgary, Alberta's blooming crabapple trees! I'm a born and raised Albertan who will proudly be voting for Alberta to remain a province of Canada

Recent polling shows Albertans are coming to understand that creating chaos, promoting division, & destroying Alberta's reputation domestically & internationally is not standing up for Alberta. It is the actions of a failed leader & failed gov. #abpoli

The separation plan for currency. GTFO! Using the US dollar backed by gold (what gold?) Oil (Not yours) and Bitcoin( the most corrupt currency). It’s embarrassing I walk amongst these idiots.

The Brexit/Alberta separatism analogy isn't about comparing a state leaving an economic union to a province leaving a nation. Alberta separatism, if successful, would have a vastly more significant impact on its people than Brexit. The analogy is pointing out how political movements that initially demonstrate limited support can take on a life of their own, ultimately leading to outcomes that those who voted in favour didn't actually intend. Especially when fed by arguments that are divisive, opportunistic, emotional, nationalistic, and misleading. That's the prospect being raised here; that a lot of Albertans who vote for "sticking it to Ottawa" or "generating leverage" are going to wind up with a basket of negative political and economic consequences that they didn't initially think possible.

PM @MarkJCarney said today what needed to be said. Danielle Smith’s referendum is distracting, damaging, deceitful and divisive. It unsettles investor confidence. And it is a potentially destabilizing move that cannot be undone. We have seen what Brexit has done. 🇨🇦 forever
YEGWAVE@yegwave

Mark Carney compared the idea of an Alberta sovereignty referendum to Brexit, warning that using it as leverage in negotiations can become a risky gamble that leaves voters with consequences they never intended.

Dear Alberta NDP; @abndpcaucus can you please start getting candidates in place across Alberta ridings so we can ensure we don’t have any last minute parachute candidates. You need to be hitting the ground leading up to 2027. Also I will be volunteering. TY! 🧡🧡🧡

No matter how Danielle Smith tries to spin this, she ALONE is responsible for the separatist referendum. The buck stops with her.

#ableg #cndpoli Alberta Separation has done two things: 1. United our best and brightest standing up FOR Canada. 2. Exposed our weakest, opportunistic and arrogant politicians like Michelle Garner Rempel. There’s a reason she lives in Oklahoma. She’s just visiting Canada.
Courtney Theriault@cspotweet

When asked if she will actively campaign for Alberta to remain in Canada, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner says she has been actively campaigning for the last ten years- ever since the federal Liberals began actively campaigning against Alberta.

Danielle Smith is claiming that a separatist referendum doesn't violate treaty rights and that she would be able to implement the results "constitutionally". Last night we unpacked how ridiculous both of those claims are! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Brexit was a self-inflicted disaster for Britain; Trump was a self-inflicted disaster for the United States and the world; Albertan independence would be a self-inflicted disaster for Alberta, and for Canada.
Courtney Theriault@cspotweet

"It is often advanced that vote for this and you will strengthen our hand in future negotiations, and that's a very dangerous bluff." Mark Carney likens Alberta's sovereignty referendum to Brexit, saying voters run the risk of being left with a bad hand they didn't mean to vote for.
