So we do have that mechanism. In 1980, I believe in 1994, was the most recent Quebec separation referendum. There was no legal process in place. It would have been, I guess for lack of a better term, a wildcat referendum. The Canadian military was, if they had voted yes, they were prepared to go in and lock them down. They voted no by a very slim margin.

But then after that, which was more important, there was something the Supreme Court's reference case on that. So the Supreme Court of Canada weighed in and they were able to outline it was referred to and they were able to. or clearly delineate the process by which separation would have to happen.

And the Alberta Prosperity Project has come out and said, they've said, do you want Alberta to leave Canada to become its own country? So here we have a very clear question that they're collecting the signatures for right now. The second part would be, if a clear question, If a clear majority, so 50% plus one, was achieved in that referendum, there has to be that clear majority.

The difference this time, though, why it's even different from Wexit from 2019 and 2020 is President Trump.

We're just waiting for the other shoe to drop in terms of the bad stuff that the federal government can do or is expected to do to Alberta. It could be a bottoming out of the price of oil.
