I'm not a business group, can I also criticize?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Neither am I, but I don't see how an independent Alberta would even remotely benefit the all-powerful oil companies unless their actual end goal is to have AB join the US.

I'm pretty sure it's just creating division and weakening the Canadian Resolve.. I'm not from there, nor do I know many from Alberta (and if I did, I'm likely in a different "bubble" than they are/would be), but I believe there's likely a lot of disinformation/propaganda being spread amongst certain groups in Alberta.

I'm just an outside observer myself but yes, it's clear there's absolutely propaganda for folks at the bottom. In the spirit of the topic though, I was talking about the perspective of the oil companies Danielle Smith answers to. Dividing people within AB doesn't seem to be in their immediate interest. I welcome other insights anyone might have, but right now it seems to me the only way they'd want this is if they're doing a long-term gamble on increasing the likelihood of joining the US.
