If a neighbouring country is sending political operatives from the ruling party into Canada to advise and assist separatists on how to promote and campaign for secession from Canada and providing them with technological and logistical support for their campaign, that country is no longer an ally.

“When Alberta separatist leaders went to 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.” I’ll be looking up ‘treason’ today. 🤬

One of the biggest media failures (among many) of the past year has been the failure to cover the Venezuela "operation" for what it was--a smash-and-grab mafia state theft by the U.S. that violates international law and the rights of Venezuelans while achieving very damn little for the U.S.

I'm going to say this without pointing the finger at the person below bc they get it, but many outside Alberta, I believe, don't have a full grasp of what this movement is. It isn't like Quebec, it is almost entirely without basis and can never be mollified or appeased, only fought against.

What's happening in Alberta is even more batshit than I ever thought. Danielle Smith is a dangerous psychopath, and the AB separatist movement largely exists because COVID broke far-right brains, and is led by Christo-fascist religious white nationalists, relying on dark money. 2/n

If the Alberta NDP had any jam they'd go after this *hard* and call out the premier's ongoing campaign to turn Albertans into victims and whiners. That's not the Alberta of Lougheed, Notley...not even Klein. Instead, they'll probably talk about how these grievances are "legitimate". #abpoli

Democrats keep trying to guilt-trip Canadians into backing down. Fuck off. Deal with your own mess. This is your problem to solve, not ours. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Gallego, the Arizona senator, said the two sides need to figure out how to mutually step down from the current trade tensions, adding that it appeared both Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney were playing politics when trade talks fell apart last month.
"I'm not asking Mr. Carney to just bend at the knee and give in, but this is the role of diplomacy," Gallego said. "You figure out how to actually start bringing the heat down little by little to a point where you can get to the negotiation table."
Likewise, Maine's governor, Mills, said there need to be "serious negotiations on both sides," and she hopes a third party can sit down with the two countries and make it clear a tariff fight damages both of them.
"The retaliatory tariffs, I can understand why that's happening," Mills said. "I can't say it's not damaging our economy, though."

From the “why even try?“ school of thought. They keep talking about this like going back to the old status quo with America is an option. Since it isn’t, it means they really want Canada to surrender.

Gerald Butts recently made this point on Substack. Alberta’s governance history is now a wingnut-conservative-wingnut sandwich, with a thin wedge of NDP cheese. Kind of puts into perspective what a gargantuan task progressives have in the province.

Since 1931, there have been 52 federal and provincial elections contested in Alberta.
The Conservative Party (in all its manifestations) has won the majority of seats in 51 of them. The sole outlier is 2015, when Rachel Notley beat a divided right.
I can't find a single example on the continent of such single party rule over a century. No red or blue state has been so thoroughly red or blue for so long.

One thing Trump's new set of threatened tariffs on imports from Canada should show the whole world is that an agreement with Trump is absolutely worthless. Any head of government that commits to invest in the U.S. to get favorable treatment should be fired.
