      No fucking shit, didn’t need a video for that. But the reality is STILL that the fucking loud rednecks are not the ones who will guide the destiny of Alberta. They can occupy Ottawa a thousand times and hold a hundred referendums and its still not them in charge ultimately. The largest voting block is far more social democrat / liberal in Edmonton and Calgary.

        I am sorry, but I don’t see how that is relevant to my statement of things being divisive even though the vote may be all but close.
