Before the votes are tallied, I wanted to be clear about something that they're going to try and take from us. The definition of victory. If as much as 25% elect for option 2 on the only question that matters... this is not a win for "remain." It's a victory for independence. 1/4 of the province (of which had doubled in size since this bs immigration scheme) is on board with cutting ties. That's not 2 crazy dudes in Didsbury. That's every 4th person. Maybe we won't get to further the process... but we will get to make our point clear: a huge chunk of us are so dissatisfied with the present status quo that we want to walk away from it all. From this day forth, politicians will see that number on the page and know that it they don't find a way to bring those people into the discussion, they've lost them. Don't let them redefine victory and marginalize our struggles. But of course, I want option 2 to pass.

Voted today. My outfit was pretty subtle I thought. My straw poll has smiles way outweighing frowns among those who made eye contact. #NoToTheNine #Option1 #Alberta
