AB Separatists would like this to be their theme: “How does it feel, how does it feel? To be without a home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone” Dylan Facts: We have a home, #Alberta #Canada is known, the UCP rolling stone is an unnecessary referendum 400,000 asked for a #ableg vote.

Trusting UCP as pro Canada? Rob Anderson helped write “Free Alberta Strategy,”that mentioned major constitutional confrontation with Ottawa critics say was a pathway toward separation. Anderson is Smith’s chief of staff! Stop the games! #alberta #ableg #yeg #yyc #cdnpoli

#ABDanielleSmith repeatedly saying she is protecting 700,000 who wanted a referendum. 400,000 Forever Canada wanted to block Separatist referendum question that was a legislative proposal under AB’s citizen initiative rules. No-petition was designed to force the issue politically MLA vote! #ableg
