This is your daily reminder: The claim that separatists collected 300,000 signatures rests on one man's word. And reasonable people should question whether he is telling the truth.+

We have control over what we believe. When it comes to the number of signatures collected, we don't have to take Mitch Silvestre's word as fact. We can treat the fact he said it as fact. There's a world of difference between those two. bsky.app/profile/jare...

Outside of a couple of highly publicized events that attracted some sizable crowds, I have not seen any evidence of signature collection for Stay Free Alberta petition on the scale of the Alberta Forever Canada petition. For the latter, I encountered many signing stations throughout Edmonton.

These usually had some signing activity occurring. For the former, I saw only a couple of desolate and lonely signing stations at highway rest stops formerly occupied by anti-vax freedumb ditchbillies. Without proof, I call BS on Sylvestre's empty assertions.
