Some old relics who are a vocal minority are shocked that Alberta overwhelmingly voted to stay in Canada because they are not buffoons.

There is absolutely no reason to separate. Jeffrey Rath, who is now throwing a temper tantrum, wants to get rid of premier Danielle Smith.

And that will not change a thing, you peasant.

The vast majority of so-called Alberta separatists skew elderly and rural. This generation is aging out. Their movement has no future. Their numbers are dwindling. They are irritants, but not a threat.

Now that they lost big time, they will try a variety of cringey temper tantrums to try to stay in the news, but now that journalists can see this elderly faction has no sway, they will go on to other, more important topics.
