You won’t get the chance to vote “remain”, because this referendum isn’t asking if we should “remain”, it’s just "should we have a referendum in which we ask the question ‘should we remain’ "
It’s a vote to decide if we should have a vote. And even this won’t pass. Polling shows “leave” at like 23%. It’s a fucking joke.
Well, I’ve only lived in the urban centres so I haven’t really lived among the worst of it. Having moved from a small city in northern BC to Edmonton my immediate environment feels significantly less, ah, reactionary actually, haha. But the rural areas of the province are among the most conservative in the country and unfortunately the way ridings are here rural areas are disproportionately represented in the legislature which makes following provincial politics very aggravating.
So excited to have recently moved back here. At least I can be one more remain vote.

Why move back? Just, life stuff.
Wat are your neighbors like? Is Alberta really Canada’s Texas?
