Albertans Reject Separation

Uh, he's checking in with the show.

Max Fawcett, uh, will be joining us on the back nine of the episode.

Uh, I'm not sure if you saw this, Johnny.

Max has a new piece out, nationalobserver.com. Oh, of course I did.

That's where he does- he's the lead columnist.

Check this out.

The, uh- Grow up [laughs] ...

the headline, Alberta Needs to Grow Up.

Wow.

Okay, so Max writing that from Calgary, and he's gonna check in and, and, uh, give us his take on that and why Alberta needs to grow up.

We're also, of course, asking those of you that are watching our live stream this morning, presented by California Closets, to let us know where you're landing on all this.

Cherie writes in, says, "The other nine questions, oof," she says.

Uh, Chad checks in, says, "Yeah, not great, but maybe not surprising given how they were written." Uh, let's take a quick run through this.

So on question 10, we know that's the leave or stay question.

I mean, really what it is is the stay or binding referendum question.

Uh, over 1.4 million votes, uh, to remain, to stay in Canada.

About 455,000 wanted to see a binding referendum for just under 1.9 million total votes.

Now, more people, considerably more people, voted for that question than any of the others.

I think this is pretty interesting.

I know when you're listening to a podcast, at least if your brain works like mine, you don't need a whole bunch of numbers thrown at you, but we'll, we'll run through this to give you a general sense.

Question one, uh, do you support the GOA, the Government of Alberta, taking increased control over immigration, prioritizing economic migration? 720,000 people said yes, 580,000 or so said no.

So that's a yes right there.

Pretty significant yes.

You know, approximately 150,000 more votes for the yes.

Uh, that same distance is, is evident throughout.
