Indeed - great points. AND fascist Russia is actively boosting/manufacturing the separatist BS too. The Kremlin knows a weak and divided Canada would be less able to support Ukraine and the rest of Europe.

While Albertans were distracted by separatist nonsense, you may have missed the fact that Danielle Smith has functionally stripped Albertans of their constitutional right to MAID, making us 2nd-class Canadians. Where was the outrage? Well, here’s mine. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #MAID

Just a few of the many showing up at the Legislative grounds in Edmonton to support Alberta Teachers and Public Education in Alberta. It was an incredible rally with excellent speeches and a very vocal crowd of Public Education supporters 💕

OTTAWA - After members of the Canadian Parliament earlier today gave a standing ovation to recently deceased far-right agitator who touted white supremacist theories, Charlie Kirk, we here at The Beaverton are stuck trying to figure out if there’s literally anyone our elected officials won’t celebrate.

And there you have it, folks. It was discussed/planned. Poilievre’s Conservative Party and Trump’s Republicans working together:
Kevin Bosch tweet:

Steve Maher confirms the Conservative war room discussed trying to get a message to Trump to distance himself from them.
Can't be a coincidence that Trump reversed himself and did exactly that a week ago.
Not smart for the CPC to be colluding with Trump's team. #cdnpoli

Screen shot text:

For weeks, the Trump problem had been top of mind for Conservative insiders. Two unrelated sources close to the CPC war room tell me that Poilievre's team had even floated going so far as trying to get a message to the White House in an attempt to persuade Trump to distance himself from Poilievre. In recent weeks, according to the sources, CPC operatives talked about trying to get Conservative MP Jamil Jivani to ask his former Yale roommate — Vice President JD Vance - to talk sense into Trump.
Poilievre's office did not reply to messages asking about those internal conversations, or whether Jivani has spoken to Vance recently.
