Katheryn Speck said she used to be a Canadian nationalist, travelled the world with a maple leaf on her backpack and once lived in Quebec so she could become fluently bilingual.

But on Saturday she was among hundreds of people who rallied at the Alberta Legislature to support separation from Canada, with many in the crowd waving Alberta flags and a few even displaying the U.S. Stars and Stripes.

“I thought it was a beautiful, fantastic country. But now I’m so disappointed. I’m literally crushed that we’ll never be represented in this country and there’s never a chance of changing the government,” Speck said.

Earlier this week, Premier Danielle Smith’s government proposed legislation that would lower the bar for holding a referendum.

    “Never been represented” forgets that there were ten years of conservative government before the liberal one.

      Conservatives tend to live in an eternal now- what’s good for me now? This explains why they don’t care about hypocrisy.
