Wexit is silly and you’re silly for wanting it
Albertans need to suck it up and stop thinking they’re better than the rest of the country. It happens every time a progressive party wins an election.

Yes, I am literally attracted to pans, thank you for asking
I’m not straight. I’m not gay. I’m not bisexual. I fall into a largely misunderstood category of people. I am pansexual.
