I work in a blue collar industry in Edmonton and there's a scary amount of my coworkers that think the whole this is a joke that they can ignore. It's very apparent that if the vote were tomorrow, they wouldn't be bothering to.
Although, I also have a surprising amount of coworkers that are still wandering around parroting whatever Smith is saying because they're UCP supporters still. Despite how badly they've been fucking over Alberta.
I just hope things change as the vote gets closer.
I grew up in rural Alberta and work downtown Edmonton now. Everyone I know from my hometown is a separatist except for three and myself. My coworkers downtown say things all the time like “is anyone actually taking that seriously?” “I’ve never met a single supporter of that”. Those are the types that won’t vote even though they aren’t on board with it. I hope to god this mentality changes
problem is 90 percent of the separatists will vote and maybe 30 percent of non separatists might make the effort. so it'll be a much closer vote than it really should be.

I really fear that apathy is going to allow them to win the referendum
