You may wonder why humans haven't gone back to the moon yet, it's been about 54 years.
But put that in context: the time between the first and second trips to Aotearoa/New Zealand by European explorers was 127 years.

the primary reason rightwingers will never control culture is because everything they do is hinged upon it being a reaction to the broader culture. the TPUSA half time event would not exist without it being a representation of their grievences

That the proponents of this all fall back on the 'its the ban on new permits' talking point is telling. They are dishonest. If they are talking nonsense about that aspect why believe they are not talking nonsense about the rest?

I like that the implication of this poll is that there are 6% of Albertans who want there to be an independent Alberta but don't want to live in it themselves.
If Albertans vote to separate, there could be mass emigration, with 77% saying they'd leave.

The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group.
