Tell me you don't know Alberta's history of separatist sentiments without saying it explicitly.

Can we stop pretending this is a foreign astroturf? As someone living in Calgary, this is a very real thing here that people genuinely believe, with some having thought this for decades.

All the evidence is right in front of people's eyes with Wexit parties being a not-so-distant memory to name the most recent example, and yet we jump to "Russia" or the U.S. as if they're the main reasons these sentiments exist.

If someone talks about "foreign astroturfing" then give me evidence rather than hit me with this "hunch" people seem to purely base this off.

We are all being influenced by foreign (russian) governments.

Just because there is a sentiment that can be expoited in a people doesn't mean that it's not being influenced by foreign actors.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Yes, there is a lot of hate for Canada in Alberta, and it is being stoked by Russia and the American fascists.
