Katheryn Speck said she used to be a Canadian nationalist, travelled the world with a maple leaf on her backpack and once lived in Quebec so she could become fluently bilingual.

But on Saturday she was among hundreds of people who rallied at the Alberta Legislature to support separation from Canada, with many in the crowd waving Alberta flags and a few even displaying the U.S. Stars and Stripes.

“I thought it was a beautiful, fantastic country. But now I’m so disappointed. I’m literally crushed that we’ll never be represented in this country and there’s never a chance of changing the government,” Speck said.

Earlier this week, Premier Danielle Smith’s government proposed legislation that would lower the bar for holding a referendum.

    Fascists get very, very upset when the rest of us, the reasonable people, don’t want fascism. They are disappointed in us when we don’t want to be ruled by their rulers.

    They are truly stupid and harmful human beings and they should be loudly ostracized in every community in which they dare to advocate for fascism.
