In October, Albertans will have a referendum on whether they wish to have a referendum on becoming an independent state, separate from Canada.
A neighbor of mine, who I've been friendly with for years, has had "Forever Canadian" signs on her property for a few weeks now. We're seeing those pop up around, as we approach the October vote.
We chatted briefly this morning and she mentioned how they have extra signs if I wanted one. I told her I actually support the independence movement, but if I come across someone who would like one, I will let her know.
She didn't wave back when I drove home from work this afternoon. Maybe she didn't see me, but I doubt it.
I'm kinda sad about it, to be honest.
