In Alberta and elsewhere, the far-right is using referendums to mainstream white nationalism

Never ever stop allowing referendums. They are the ONLY way we have acheived popular change in the US.

Republicans have been trying to curtail and get rid of them in the US, over half of the states have them to some degree. Some states did change the vote from 50 to 60 and such. Ohio maybe, and some SW shitholy one I forget.

We all agree on many things, removing the ability to have a popular vote on it is a recipe for tyranny. (US states often have citizen sponsored ballot initiatives, via petition, maybe you should get some, eh?)

But I agree the separatist vote is, well, tantamount to allying with the US prez, which is at this point, a betrayal of the country, and it's people.

Ohio didn't succeed at changing it. In part because it was a clearly blatant attempt to stop weed and abortion being legalized
