So, what about First Nations? Are you going to vote away their land??

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 hours ago

How could they have their land voted away? AB separating just wouldn't work, with First Nations land being just one reason. Most separatists are simply traitors who don't understand what the consequences would be. The ones who know what they're doing know it would never work, but that's not the point. The point is a weakened and fractured Canada. There's a vested interest (primarily from the US) in dividing Canada, and this is a great way to do it.

All I'm saying is I hope Albertans don't get complacent, and actually get out and vote at the referendum. Brexit has proven what lack of understanding and voter apathy can result in. It can just as easily happen in AB, and all it takes is Albertans not bothering to vote because "there's no way separation will happen".

My friends in Alberta, are First Nations. And this was my first thought. We should send the people who want to be Americans, to America.

So, what about First Nations?

The separatists don't concern themselves with "minor details" like that.
