One hundred and seventy-seven thousand people.

That's roughly 3.5 per cent of Alberta's population. It's also the amount of signatures that will be needed to force a separation referendum

It can’t be that hard to take advantage of this and get a hundred other random referendums. What else should they get everyone to vote on?

But seemingly out of nowhere, a separatist upstart party named the Alberta Republicans pulled in $122,970 by the end of March, and have announced veteran conservative organizer Cam Davies as leader.

We need to be keeping a close eye specifically on these traitors.

We also need to keep a close eye on where the money is coming from.
