@marcellodicintio.bsky.social: I wanted Canadians to understand that Alberta separatism, at its heart, isn’t motivated by equalization policies, Senate seats, carbon taxes or oil. These tired complaints may ride shotgun on independence, but bigotry drives the truck. #canpoli #abpoli

I wanted to learn the true target of their angry dreams. What I heard made me tremble for the Alberta I love.

“The crowd was diverse. I saw young white people and old white people. Tall white people and short white people. Many wore Alberta-blue ball caps, draped themselves in Alberta flags and carried independence lawn signs they had purchased at the merchandise tables.”

“The crowd was diverse” … 🤣

As a fan of dry sarcastic wit: Well done!

Some good writing in this piece, i.e., “More than 70 per cent of Albertans said the province should stay in Canada. A clear majority of Albertans don’t want to live in a Christian ethnostate powered by hydrocarbons and hatred, and conceived by people we wouldn’t trust to sit the right way on a toilet.”
