As an Albertan I agree. Separatist parties never got more than 5% of the vote here.

What is happening is:

1) Conservatives believed they had a sure path to a super-majority in Ottawa.

2) Trump spoils everything.

3) But Trump is their hero, they'd never blame him. So they blame the usual suspects: Trudeau and the Libs.

4) Because they can't do anything about the Libs victory, they do what spoiled children do when they hear "no": throw a tantrum.

5) Because the media needs circus and drama to catch eyeballs, the media goes to overdrama on their tantrum.

6) Because children on tantrum love attention, they double down on crying and yelling. Go to 4.



Literally just like a child packing a bag and threatening to run away from home because you didn't kowtow to their every demand.
