The media, mainstream and otherwise, love this story, it gets them clicks yet they, for the most part, leave out or minimize the facts that polls show this fringe group behind the push for separation has less than 30% support from Albertans.

It is not going to happen, this nonsense rears it's fringe head every now and then to only go down in flames every time.
