You might think, based on the volume of her Facebook posts, that Nieta Aqila is an Albertan who supports separation.

“I signed the Alberta independence petition” because “Canada is not a great country anymore,” an account in her name wrote in a popular Facebook group called Alberta Independence that promotes the movement and has more than 100,000 members. 

In another post, Aqila said she was harassed and had rocks thrown at her as she canvassed for petition signatures.

The account’s posts have generated thousands of reactions, comments and shares in recent months as the issue heated up.
