Canada is not actually 'battling for survival' in the context of secession, because in both Alberta and Quebec secession has relatively small amounts of public support. What we're battling is dipshit far-right populist politicians enabling/pushing for this destructive bullshit.

I complained to the City that they enclosed my voting info in an envelope addressed to my tenant. As he's under no obligation to tell me, it's a great way to suppress votes and disengage voters. She said it's a cost savings. LOVELY. (She also tried to deflect and put onus on me...nope)

It's true, but we've only been hacking this technology for 30-40 years, and the results have been staggering. So never say never. (Graph source: rmi.org/resources/th...)
