Good point. That was a mistake. How much of it was Kenny, how much was based on denial regarding the economy, and how much was Smith, I don't really know.

Basically chickened out on a referendum to separate (avoid egg on the face) and here's some red meat for the wolves to distract themselves. I believe a new republic must stretch from the Great Lakes to the Pacific and have at least 80% support across a broad field including the western provinces, the indigenous treaty holders and the territories, including Ontario west of 88⁰ and so the idea of Alberta going it alone obviously ends up with them becoming a US state at best, a territory like Puerto Rico more likely. More work is needed.
Critiques political strategy and proposes alternative policy framework for regional separation, comparing different governance models.

Poilievre has been screaming about this and all MSM did was deny, deny, deny. It didn’t go unnoticed. It was ignored for far too long.
