What matters most? Albertans gear up for the referendum

We live life honestly and proudly. It's Alberta's turn to have a say. He is the person stealing all of our jobs, taking all of our tax money. Albertans are definitely being taken advantage of. Honestly, my biggest fear is that this referendum will happen and they will rig it. I think it's gonna stir up a lot of emotion, no matter which way it goes. It gets a little sketchy when you start messing Constitution. Separation would only cause heartache for a lot of the native people. I'm just thinking it's like Brexit and that has been going terribly for the UK so I don't want that to happen to Alberta. To separate from the rest of Canada, that's not what we signed up for. We came to Canada, we didn't just come to Alberta alone. We're taxed too hard, everything's mismanaged, our money is sent out, there's nothing left for our people. Not having that federal backstop of having like another layer of consultation for things, whether that's environmental impacts, whether that's First Nations, things like that, that's really scary to me. When it comes to the voting itself, it's just that the voter turnout, it's a lot higher, so that it reflects the majority vote of Albertans. I'm worried that the racism is gonna become more prominent. I'm worried that our people are gonna be targeted at a higher rate. I'm worried that people are going to get violent. Getting it over with, honestly. We can start focusing on bigger stuff and larger issues and trying to tackle them as a group rather than trying to divide each other and separate. For this to spark a little more conversation with the federal government, sometimes I just feel like we're not heard much over here in the West. Seeing you guys go to all our little communities, the little Bazaanos and the Brooks and Rosemary and Dutchess, it gets focused on Calgary and Edmonton and what their wants and needs are. And let's be frank, the city life is different than the country life. A strong majority in favour of staying in Canada would be a convincing reason for this issue to lay to rest forever. It's something that is ironically uniting us all. Having something to talk about that we all have in common is very powerful. I'm just hoping things will get better when we stand up and show that we want things to get better. Everybody should take notice of us, hopefully, when we win this referendum.
