B.C. Premier David Eby says he is anxious about the upcoming Alberta independence vote.
At a wrap-up of the Western Premiers Conference in Kananaskis, Alta, Eby said the impact of a potential march towards a binding referendum on neighbouring provinces and territories is top of mind.
“I remain incredibly, frankly, anxious about this,” Eby told reporters.
Alberta’s premier announced on Thursday that the province will vote on a question on independence on Oct. 19.
Earlier in the day, Eby gifted Team Canada jerseys to the premiers.
“She looks great in a Team Canada jersey, I’m proud of her,” Wab Kinew, Manitoba’s premier, said of Danielle Smith.

Smith hoped to sidestep any talk of separation, laying out an agenda that included trade and the economy. The premiers did agree on a lengthy communique on collaboration and priority projects across the western provinces and in the northern territories.
“There is an incredible amount of optimism and hope that everyone is working towards those goals, so I think that was what we spent most of our time talking about over the last couple days,” Smith said.
Western provinces and territories stand to gain big as Ottawa looks to spend on major projects such as mines, ports and pipelines and there was excitement among the premiers at the meeting about the promise of more to come.
“Now is the time to work together,” Kinew said.
“Why don’t we hold off on this referendum for a year or two and see if we can get these pipelines under construction, because at the end of the day, we want Canada to succeed.”
As Western premiers head home, it’s even clearer that Alberta’s future will dominate the conversation through the summer at least.

Whatever David Eby!
Now JV is seeing double. Put the bottle down JV.
I’ve been smashing back the Red Liberal Kool Aid for so long that I actually believe the nonsense I continuously post here.
I really need to lay off the stuff
Eby should be looking for a job.
I hear that Walmart is looking for greeters.
Bill – Which narrative is that? Non-stop racist/derogatory comments about First Nations people? Or the whining and crying about Eby because he’s not some corrupt Conservative white nationalist… Which one?
Bill – Doug and Bob are the same person
Doug’s/Bob’s comments actually follow the narrative in these discussions quite well. When you stop and read the room you to will notice.
Eby very bad skinny man no conscience think only self give province to indian people?
If anyone is paying attention, there are two groups in this referendum. One group will vote to say within the country and the other to choose independence. All this is a directive vote to Danelle Smith by either group depending on who wins. It doesn’t ” not ” in any way give a directive to separate from Canada. I personally don’t think that the Separatist’s group will get enough votes to direct the Alberta government to vote towards separation..
Bahaha look at Doug Brekfaust (aka Bob B) trying his best to spread his hate towards First Nations people in the Global BC comment section just like he does every day of his sad pathetic life. His obsession with First Nations people and non whites in Canada has driven him to insanity. I caught him posting as Bob B but accidentally using the name Doug Brekfaust and then he tried to backtrack by talking to himself hahahahaha. What a fake little b1tch. Now we know every little thing this guy has ever said is bullsh1t. He’s just another angry little N A Z I boy with multiple profiles trying to spread hate and disinformation on the internet.. and failing miserably. Too funny 🤣🤣
All we get is blah, blah, blah from the LPC. Expect nothing and we won’t be disappointed.
BC premier also anxious about local (and international) Indian tribes claiming most of BC as theirs.
What if all those peasents finally notice he whines.
Bahaha
That’s what Eby is “””anxious””” about?!? 🫨 😏
Meanwhile the top headline you can’t comment on about is related to this clown circus in BC Eby created.
“ Wei Wai Kum ( or whatever) First Nation is calling for a pause ( in the Komoks treaty), saying (that) treaty covers roughly 80 per cent of its own traditional territory” Shock??? No!! 😝
Maybe if all the negotiations were done at the start in public view the NDP wouldn’t get to the 11th hour before absolutely everyone in BC including other FN bands completely disagree with it.
What a gong show!!
Of course the parasite’s are anxious. Too bad, you zombie woketards caused this with every regulation and policy you’ve assaulted us with since 2015. Now we’ve had enough and everything you say
just hardens our resolve.
Hey inbred Albertans…S.T.F.U!!!
Nothing to be anxious about Dave.
Next provincial election, you’re out.
whomever thought it a good idea to hire a lawyer to operate our political system is a bigger moron than the premier himself. What a joke!
Eby should be worried about B.C. that he has made a mess of. Smith is a way better Premier.
Eby is a problem. He has contributed to this referendum.
He acts as if he a king of BC and controls the province. Cant wait when he is gone.
Sold the entire province to native people. Horrible human
