Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

This is the point that’s been really annoying me about Alberta’s rhetoric about separation.
It ignores that it’s not up to Alberta, as, unlike Quebec, Alberta did not join Canada, it was created by Canada and the First Nations whose treaties predate the creation of Alberta.
