I also think it's possible that some suburbs have reached tipping points that certain MAGA conservatives can't stand. They could handle a noticeable South Asian minority but can't handle what they perceive as threats to their white kids' and grandkids' scholarships and university placements.

tbh i worry about the Alberta Crisis more than PSPP because the Albertans are a lot more legible to the Yankees than the Parti Quebecois, and the proposed PQ referendum is in 2030 not to mention they're not elected yet

I get that people are trying to be “sensible” and not trying to turn the Alberta into a complete political powder keg (and look…I get it…there is a case to be made for that strategy) But after the referendum (and the US midterms), can we get fucking ruthless with these people?

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.”

Oh wow In May, I reported Alberta separatists were using an app developed by GOP operatives with ties to US ambassador Pete Hoekstra @theglobeandmail.com now reports the same operatives flew to Calgary on a private jet for a secret meeting with separatist leaders: pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...
The pitch began with a prayer.
On an afternoon in late January, Mitch Sylvestre, the leader of Alberta's most prominent separatist organization, gathered with three of his lieutenants in a boardroom not far from the executive hangars at the Calgary International Airport, where private jets shuttle in and out of the city away from prying eyes.
It was a few hours before thousands of Albertans would gather near the city centre at a rally to launch the separatist campaign. But this meeting, convened behind closed doors a half-hour drive away, was invite only.
The Alberta Prosperity Project chose the location to accommodate its guests, Republican political strategists from Michigan who helped Donald Trump win the state in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The American delegation travelled to Calgary to sell them on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote - and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation.
"They were young Christians. Capable, intelligent people," Mr. Sylvestre said. "We prayed before we started the meeting.""There is no secrecy'
One of the key figures behind the Michigan software company has expressed strong views on Alberta.
On July 1, Mr. Born wrote on social media: "On this Canada Day, I hope this is the last year Alberta is part of Canada." He has also called for U.S. annexation of the province.
A hunter, outdoorsman and commercial real estate agent in Grand Rapids, Mr. Born is the stepson of J.C. Huizenga, a wealthy Republican donor and founder of National Heritage Academies, a network of conservative charter schools in the U.S.
Mr. Wierda is the nephew of Erik Prince, who founded and ran the private military contractor Blackwater before it was sold to investors in 2010, and Betsy DeVos, the education secretary during Mr. Trump's first term.

Economist analysis of more than 3,000 US counties finds that in reliably GOP counties, annual deaths now exceed births by 0.4 per 1k residents, while in reliably Democratic counties, births exceed deaths by 2.8 per 1k. Population growth in the GOP counties is largely driven by internal migration.
