If the Alberta Separation votes fails.

We have just 60 days until the Alberta referendum. Considering the latest polls, and that opinions are mostly locked in, Alberta citizens will be voting to keep Alberta in Canada....as long as the voter turnout is good. There are about 3 million people on the list. About 1 million of them, according to polls, want to send Ottawa a message and will vote to start the process to separate. You and I know every single one of them WILL vote. That means there needs to be 60% turnout on the rest of the voting population to make sure the "stay" side wins. I have no doubt it will happen. 

The question I have, is what next for the separatist cause? You have 1 million people in the province who want change. To find that answer, we can look back to the January 6th insurrection in the United States. There is no question in my mind the separatists are a radical group, and they will be pushed over the edge. I believe there will be massive protests, the Legislature Building in Edmonton is going to be ground zero. There are already militias training in rural Alberta for this very purpose....they openly post on social media. They are literally planning to take the province by force. They will start acting like ICE in the USA and immigrants and First Nations will be targeted. The only way Alberta can separate from Canada is by force. They certainly have the support of the American government. There is no other way. After coming this far, there is no going back. They know it is now or never. 

This is active talk between separatists. I was recently getting my car fixed in Southern Alberta and the garage owner and another customer were openly talking about this. I have several separatist folks in my circles. They are more than willing to pick up a gun if called to do so. They aren't smart enough to coordinate this on their own, but it doesn't take many people to start the revolution, only followers to pick up arms (which the CIA would be more than happy to provide).

This is a massive threat no one is talking about, right out of the playbook of the United States government. Danielle Smith and her UCP members are openly pro-trump, and some MLA's openly wearing USA hats on a regular basis. They do not even try to hide the fact they want American control over Alberta. There is much at stake here. 

The Federal Government is very reluctant to step into this at this point. They do not want to look like they are interfering in this referendum.....well they damn well should be, and they should have the Canadian Army on standby quietly in Alberta to respond within a moments notice if need be. 

Now, many will be skeptical about this, they think that the separatists will just quietly go back into the hole they crawled out of. Nope. Not a chance. They are empowered by this vote and they will stop at nothing. There are too many of them, and they are armed and ready and racist. 

You can look at history anywhere in the world. Things happen fast. Bosnia, the American Civil War are the first examples that come to my mind. We could literally be facing some really nasty stuff in the coming months.
