Treason. No to the nine. Not your land.
Those are just some of the words spray-painted this week on several Alberta referendum political signs placed throughout Fort McMurray.
Wood Buffalo RCMP were alerted Thursday about the damage to more than half of the signs promoting Alberta separatism in the northern Alberta community.
RCMP said they received a report that seven signs relating to the upcoming Oct. 19 referendum had been damaged with spray paint, sometime between Sept. 29 and Oct. 4.
Elections Alberta granted permission for 11 signs from third-party campaign group Let Alberta Decide to be placed around the community.
The signs were all spray painted with various graffiti, bearing messages like “No Treason GTFO!!!” and one said “Go 2 America!”
It’s a criminal offence to destroy, damage or steal election signs, which RCMP has pointed out several times over the years when signs in other elections have been vandalized or gone missing.

The vandalism happened to two signs along Thickwood Boulevard, two along Confederation Drive, and one each on Hospital Street, MacKenzie Boulevard and along Highway 63 across from the dump station.
The Let Alberta Decide campaign is promoting Albertans selecting option two on the tenth question being asked in the Oct. 19 referendum.

It states: “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”
The RCMP said the signs have since been repaired and are now asking for the public’s assistance in identifying those responsible for damaging them.
Anyone who witnessed suspicious activity near any of the above-mentioned locations, has relevant surveillance or dash camera footage, or has information that could help the investigation is asked to call Wood Buffalo RCMP at 780-788-4040.

Don’t condone it, but they not wrong.
We have zero in this matter. Treaties be treaties for a reason. It’s like y’all forgot, you can’t take the land out of a country, if the land doesn’t belong to you so the liberal government will just repeat history and be a member to the European union just like for the crown but now with more rules. Its not a two way street when you are liberal. because it give you the power to do what ever they want but as long as its not you, we don’t want democracy ,the washing money is just to good.
You won’t get any cpp…leave we don’t want u here

Probably the separatists doing this w/o realizing its their sign
