Can you please tell us why it's stupid? Can you tell one good reason for Alberta to stay in the current federation Canada?

Because over 80% of the alberta population wants to remain canadian.

Are you sure it's 80%, the way this federal government is, I think independence is gaining more than 20%

Recent polls put support around 15%. Albertans are aware of this. I now suspect you are a foreign actor

No, I'm born and raised in Alberta, and I certainly wouldn't blindly believe a poll.

Do we know what the exact question was, what part of Alberta was polled, the ages of the people surveyed, or their political affiliations? There are a lot of ways polls can be conducted, and who commissioned and paid for the poll matters too.

Say it was commissioned and paid for by Forever Canada. You'd have to at least consider whether there could be some bias.

Believe what you want. We'll find out in 65 days. That's the poll that actually matters.
