This is the problem with these people: they don’t respect the answer “no”.
“Keith Wilson, the co-chair for the group Let Alberta Decide, says he's cautiously optimistic about the results of Monday's vote….
No matter the outcome of the vote, Wilson says it won't be the end of the separatism discussion, and he hopes it becomes a more mainstream topic.
"Regardless of what happens tonight, it's going to keep going forward," he said.”
i think people stronger than me will have to stay up to get the results (which are now an hour late with the cardston-siksika station not closed yet)

Exactly this.
And once you see it, all his attacks on Canada and our Government, and our Prime Minister, for having the (audacity, in Trump’s view) to say “no” and walk away, line up exactly with this.
Trump thinks that what Russia is doing to Ukraine is ok because that's exactly what Trump would love to be doing to Canada.
TheCanadian.SocialMike Fraser (@[email protected])Trump thinks that what Russia is doing to Ukraine is ok because that's exactly what Trump would love to be doing to Canada.That sounds like a breach of both the UN Charter and the NATO Treaty. Watch the video.
Trump is wilfully ignorant trash and he can stuff it.
He will never have Canada.

“shortening teacher education programs risks reinforcing the mistaken belief that teaching does not require a lot of specialized preparation. Such a move may weaken recognition of teaching as a professional practice that must be developed over time, both among the public and among potential new recruits.”

First Canadian NBA Game 🏀
On November 1, 1946, the Toronto Huskies hosted the New York Knickerbockers in the first-ever NBA game (then called the Basketball Association of America) at Maple Leaf Gardens. Though the Huskies lost 68-66, this game marked Canada's important role in professional basketball history, decades before the Raptors and Grizzlies arrived. 🇨🇦 #Canada #NBA #Basketball

We will all have to wait until 10pm Mountain Time for results because a lot of polling stations opened late

People in Eastern Time (midnight for results) and beyond should probably just go to bed rather than staying up waiting
La découverte vitale de Frederick Banting
En 1921, Frederick Banting et Charles Best ont découvert l'insuline, transformant le diabète en une maladie gérable. À l'âge de 32 ans, Banting est devenu le plus jeune récipiendaire du prix Nobel de médecine. Leur découverte sauve encore des millions de vies. 🇨🇦 #Canada #Science #InnovationMédicale #FrederickBanting

I just want to manifest this into being.
#Musk wants European bandwidth, Europe considers prioritising European companies. #Trump wants big #Russia to win over small #Ukraine (because #US/ #Canada) and also because #Putin bromance.
So hey presto - diesel deal, launch intel fails, Starlink slowdown. Solution? Musk gets bandwidth, Putin gets a helping hand, Trump makes more money, a pat on the head from Putin, and vain hopes for a midterm Hail Mary.
Ukraine pays in blood, US in lost reputation and trust, Europe in eroded sovereignty and future risk. 🤷
