Ok for context as someone who does know this is an openly libertarian fascistic administration that already violated the constitution using a tool of the courts meant for ACTUAL emergencies to shut down a teachers strike. They are very untrustworthy and the referendum was (genuinely, this is established knowledge here) rigged by noodling with legislation to happen despite not meeting its signature goals and an opposing petition blowing the seperatists out of the water with their own "stay in canada" petition, which was dismissed via shady mans to allow for this referendum. Which will btw cost 120-130 million after scrapping so many public resources we had a nearly 24% increase in homelessness in a single year strongly tied to that cost cutting. Oh, and the seperatists side leaking the entire voting database of elections alberta to an unsecured website which has yet to be demonstrated wasnt used to falsify signatures on the separatist petition AND in essence doxxed every single voting Albertan. Wish I made that up but it just happened and we are pretty mad about it.

The premier has a liberty fund tattoo on her forearm. You dont have to be "you people" not to trust a person who flew down to trumps inauguration on the taxpayer dime, uninvited, and during a time when canadians are salty at americans (for valid reasons)

This isnt a "my word vs your word" thing, if you live here and pay attention it is impossible to miss, they have had constant fraud and corruption investigations.

I don't want to be argumentative, but if everyone who lives there were already sufficiently informed and disagreed with the government's actions the linked website would not be necessary. Someone decided to create the website and chose to not include the past actions of the government among its arguments. This means they believe the information provided in it is enough or even necessary to educate the ignorants and convince the supporters.

As an ignorant myself, I found the arguments against the two articles lacking and asked for clarification here. As I'm not from Canada I have no stake or say in the matter, it doesn't matter what I think about it. I only asked because I found the two points interesting and wanted to know more about them.
