    What I don’t get is why lefty Canadians were so against Alberta leaving Canada.

    Sounds like a plus to me…

      part of the reason is alberta seats entirely on treaty territory, so it doesn’t get to leave without a say from Indigenous peoples (at least in theory, in practice we know too well that canada wipes its ass with treaties)

      and the new alberta would’ve certainly been a strongly reactionary state, so it’s important to stand in solidarity with albertan leftists and oppose its creation

      same reasons most leftists oppose quebec independence
