What a great distraction from her ongoing scandals.

Anyone in Alberta who thinks separating will help Alberta is an idiot. If you join the US, you'll be Puerto Rico Norte, exploited for resources and excluded from the Union. If you think Trump will honor any deal he makes I don't even know what to say to you.

If you go it alone you'll be a landlocked nation of 4 million, with absolutely no leverage against the two big economies surrounding you.

Hell, even if they do this referendum and it fails, you've lost your negotiating leverage with Canada because we'll all see how it's an empty threat.

Quebec is clear eyed enough to see now is not the time to talk about separation.
