    Cool. Can’t pay teachers but they can waste money on a study to tell us what we already know so we can hire 60 000 people to count ballots in a referendum nobody wants.

      Well, you gotta make sure it’s the right people counting the ballots. They need to be properly trained to know which ballots to count as 500 votes and which ones to count as 1.

        I predict she will add the ‘vote for referendum to stay in canada’ to the ‘vote for referendum to leave canada’ number and say ‘we must have a referendum, I guess. Aw shucks’, just as she did to excuse this stupid referendum. And as long as albertans are arguing over this b.s., we aren’t focused on some other rotten thing the administration is doing. Notwithstanding clause, etc. etc.

    You know what defeats openly fascist neighboring countries? Rampant infighting and splintering-off into separate, less capable forces.
