Earlier this week, Premier Danielle Smith formalized a separation question that Albertans will vote on later this year. What could sovereignty mean for queer people in the province?
A large core of this group are radical Dutch evangelical Christians who came to Saskatchewan and Alberta after Holland became more progressive with social culture. This has been decades in the making. In some parts of Alberta they are referred to as the Dutch Mafia. Wow. They found the internet and have mobilized to take Alberta down. David Parker is of this lineage. He has been quoted as saying the Dutch are smart so do not underestimate their power. Very worrisome.
Separatists being homophobic and transphobic is not a surprise. They're also overly religious and rural which contributes to their phobias. Separatists are a collection of the worst characteristics of people. Think about how to be a shitty person and you have a separatist, then throw in a huge dollop of anti-intellectualism combined with a whopping dose of stupidity. That's the icing on the cake. Unfortunately, for a large percentage of them facts and reality don't matter. This is a cancer in Alberta society that will take at least a decade to root out.
