A huge win for Alberta!
Nutley is irrelevant. Lol!

What has the NDP really become other than the party that does whatever daddy would do? Honestly they’ve fallen so far in less than a year.

[Revolverful]

As a Nova Scotian, and Canadian. Thank you Alberta!

[TwistyMcFisty]

Canadian interests are becoming too divided by region. What works for Ontario and Quebec will not necessarily work for Alberta. Either change the voting system to limit the influence one province can have over another, or you may see similar legislation pop up elsewhere.

Awesome for Alberta. Happy I live here.

NDP should be abolished in this country.

Anything against the Trudo gov't is positive, as far as I'm concerned. I'm considering moving there from Ontario. Ford is a Trudo wannabe.

I am beginning to see hope in Canada. I can live without maple syrup but not oil. Let the press spin their tales of woe, they are tied to purses in Ottawa and Washington. The more freedoms we have the more happy we will be.

Time to start looking at property in Alberta

Separation is the only solution I want to hear. No more Alberta having to support the east.

[saucybaka]

YES if only the rest of Canada would do this

Other western provinces should follow Alberta's example .

Great job Danielle! Don’t allow Trudeau bend you over the table.

[johnnycanadiana]

Need to boot the ndp out and do the same in BC

[suzymchughzie]

IT TO THE SOCK BOY"!!!...time to move to Alberta where common sense and decency prevail!!!

[bobuncle]

Now if we can just legislate Trudeau out of office permanently

[marcleblanc]

It is far past time we rework the rules of confederation. If not we may as well go our separate ways.
