In Alberta and elsewhere, the far-right is using referendums to mainstream white nationalism

So I went to the advanced voting today, we were in line and a little old lady ahead of us started chatting with my wife. She started the conversation by going "thank you for voting today, I've been telling all my friends to get out and vote because its the most important one in our Lives". Half expecting the next sentence to be " because we need to leave Canada" I am happy to report she started going off about Daniel Smith, asking "what kind of Christians are we?" If we vote to underfund immigrants, and that we need to fight against trump. She told us shes always voted conservative her whole life but that she wants to vote out the two-faced UCP. I feel like the winds are changing.

That's jaw dropping that someone would use Christian identity to oppose the UCP, but certainly a welcome surprise.

The elites also use referendums to prevent proportional representation from being passed in Canada.

After the russian bot farm went offline recently, all of the separatist influencer pages have a fraction of the traffic lol
