My thoughts are similar. I was already surprised how little coverage the 9 questions got - I didn't realize they existed until a week or so ago. Then I read them and... Holy shit. They only seemed to be covered in the media in the last week. And my worry was that the referendum question would get a clear no, but some of the others would get a majority. It was worse, most of the other questions got majorities - in fact, the worst questions got majorities.

Even the coverage was weird - even from the CBC of all broadcasters. Constantly talking about poor, poor Alberta essentially being abused by the rest of the country. I think I can count the number of times environmental issues got mentioned on one hand, and even that's being generous.

What an absolute clusterfuck. A part of me wishes that Alberta would just seperate and I wouldn't have to hear all the whining anymore... But then there's still Quebec. And people like you who would probably suffer even more if Alberta were to separate.
