Biggest split in Canadian politics right now is “we are actually under attack by a faction of Americans who want to destroy our country, and we need to take extraordinary measures to prevent that” (basically the Carney gov’t and a couple premiers) vs “lol situation normal” (literally everyone else).

[censored]

Dennis Kalma, a member of a self-appointed group called the Alberta transition council, formed to devise a path to sovereignty following a referendum win, suggested at a town hall in Red Deer that he had some inside knowledge.

“We will have international recognition, particularly from the Americans,” Mr. Kalma told the audience. “I personally think – and I have reasons to believe it that I can’t speak to – that we will have almost immediate recognition after winning a referendum, from the Americans.

“And probably about five or six other countries. And we will see those people say, ‘yep, we recognize you.’”

South of the border, some Republican lawmakers are doing nothing to hide the U.S. interest in Alberta.

During an interview on the right-wing cable network Newsmax at the end of August, Republican congressman Andy Harris wondered aloud why the U.S. wouldn’t have designs on the province.

what the fuck do you mean STOCKWELL FUCKING DAY was the voice of reason here

At lower political levels, too, Republicans have taken notice. In mid-May, Stockwell Day travelled to Oklahoma to meet with state lawmakers who invited him to speak with them. Among the topics they wanted to hear about was Alberta separatism and the possibility of American annexation. Mr. Day, who once led the Canadian Alliance and held cabinet positions in both Alberta and Ottawa, told them he saw no chance of success for either outcome.

The meeting nonetheless persuaded him that American continental expansion has become a subject of genuine consideration in Republican circles.

“There’s serious interest in the U.S.,” Mr. Day told The Globe. That may not mean a Machiavellian plot to take over Canadian territory, but “there will always be those who look to capitalize on disruption.”

who is ready for the Red Deer People's Republic post-referendum

A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.

The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province’s resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.

Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta’s pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.

I should preface this by saying I have no problem at all with Giancarlo's horny Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic. But yeah it's not just this picture.

Painting "The Debate", presumably the scene where Smeagol and Gollum argue over whether to kill or help Frodo. The bottom half of the picture is just churned mud and slick puddles. In the top half, Frodo, head down, lies unconscious. It's reminiscent of the painting of the Death of Chatterton. Smeagol is kneeling all but naked next to him. We see only his leg, part of his lean and muscular torso and his strong arms. The fingers of one hand are hooked into Frodo's waistband. He is evidently dragging Frodo along, but it also looks like he's clawing at his clothing.

A book cover design. On the left - the back cover - is a sword-and-staff-wielding Gandalf. On the right, a hooded, saturnine Aragorn clasps a drained-looking but stunningly beautiful Frodo, whose head is tipped back to bare his neck and a chain with the One Ring. It makes it look as though he is gazing lovingly at Aragorn. Multiple hands variously caress, embrace and claw at Frodo. It's very intimate.

Kaliningrad is really only an advantage for Russia during peacetime. Sitting inside of Europe, a place of menace and opportunity, offering a nice Baltic Sea port. But as soon as Russia launches a war, Kaliningrad becomes a liability and a sacrifice. Putin is scared.
