Agreed: Alberta Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith was never elected to hold a referendum of any kind on separation, and the whole current exercise is a act of treason calculated to keep the protofascists of her own party mollified. 🍁😠🍁

The romance is dead and it is time to make a symbolic break. To this end, Canada should claim its own unique international dialing code www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Why Canada getting its own international dialing code could help assert its independence
In the current political climate, maintaining a shared country code with the United States increasingly compromises Canada's digital sovereignty and distinct global identity.

Carney is using a shock to the system to manufacture consent for taking the nation in a direction that is neither moral nor beneficial to Canadian society. Canadians captured by this gambit, as most seem to be, will one day regret their acquiescence to his agenda

As Piketty foretold, the misrule of oligarchs has led to an orgy of destruction, and while poor people will get the worst of it, oligarchs will *pay* the most, because they own nearly everything, which means they own everything that will be destroyed, too.

All of this has the potential to yield a second peace-dividend prosperity. A post-oligarch world can recover industrial capacity by diverting it away from destructive activity (data centers, luxury housing) to essential functions (climate defenses, decent housing for everyday people).
