And it's really important that you talk to each other about this and that you air everything out and you talk about what this means and where you, and by the way, if the ballot question is unsuccessful, what does it mean for the future of the Sovereignty Act and the ability to continue to have these in perpetuity?
You know, are you going to amend that?
Are you going to deal with the indigenous question and the consultation piece that was flagged by the courts that is now under appeal?
Imagine that the appeal to that is successful and that the legislation still stands as is.
And then we're going to have this keep recurring for every 300,000 people who gather a signature, and we're going to have these things in perpetuity.
What does that do to the investment climate?
What does that do?
Like...
So I think there are a lot of questions here, not just about the question over whether or not to have a question, but about how often do we want to keep revisiting this?
And what's the trigger for this?
And if it is unsuccessful, Daniel Smith, does she lose her leadership?
Because she's had this, she's forced this massive distraction on the province.
And the real separatists who control half the party, at least, who control a big chunk of the caucus, who control rioting associations, are they going to get rid of her?
Because she asked an inverted question compared to what they really wanted, which was a
pro-alberta pro-independence question and we didn't really get and that happened by the way with stephen harper on same-sex marriage there were people who said because i was challenged for not my nomination and i had to win it i was challenged a member of my board resigned because i voted in favor of same-sex marriage who challenged me in an election campaign as an independent who said that i wasn't a real conservative because i believe in equality odd that but there you are um and so i had to deal with it politically in my riding for for years afterwards
There will be a consequence of this in a lot of ways.
And will the hardliners, will they assert themselves, take over the party, depose Daniel Smith and install the real separatist with who is who will ask a positive pro separatist question?
And then what does that do to the caucus and the governing party?
And then do you split off and create a new federalist party like that?
What's been unleashed here is really unpredictable, but the only thing that you can assume is that it's going to be chaotic for a while.
