    Trade it for California?

    I get that they are being hypocrites, but surely it would only make it easier for US states to secede.

    Trump cancels any talks with Canada over tariffs because of fords anti-tariff commercial, because we’re meddling in their politics, but these Nazi fucking yanks can do this?

    Time for Canada to cut off all talk with the filthy yanks, cut off the power we provide them and let them stew in the cold for a while.

    Fuck I hate America.

    They can vote themselves out if they want.

    They don’t get the land, though; they trade their passport for a plane ticket.

    That’s the only deal they get. C’est bon?

      I would be happy if separation means individual separation from Canada…they turn in their passport and get a ride over the border.

      But the US doesn’t want them they want the resources.

        I lived 8 years in the flatlands. It’s not without its beauty, generosity, heart, intellect and soul. None of these attributes are shown by the politicos, who just need some encouragement to pupate to carpetbaggers and improve everyone’s lives – ideally they can fly away as beautiful but-tah-flies (I can’t not hear the accent now) before their hungry caterpillar selves eat everything alive and green.

              No one I’ve ever met claims it’s a utopia. Unlike Americans brainwashed from birth we don’t believe our country is perfect, nor do we believe that other countries have no value. We don’t believe our country is perfect and entitled to greatness.

              Consider that you believe that we think this way, precisely because you can’t imagine it differently.

                That guys not an American lol, just a rabid xenophobe making you feel the same xenophobia you’re pushing against Americans because we live in a country with a significantly propagandized population lmfao. Hilariously ironic. Maybe you should all just stop talking shit about citizens of nations as if they’re monolithic?

                  Our country is propagandized by the US, and within Canada we aren’t fed the same exceptionalist bullshit that they are in the US.

    You all wannabe Americans? Go ahead and move to the US. Apply for citizenship. No one is stopping you. You’re doing the rest of us a favor.

      To be fair, even if in the US legally, ICE is stopping you. And then shipping you off to some other foreign country’s jail.

      We could start by enforcing our laws. Foreign interference is everywhere, and we’ve just ignored it for decades. Eg, the US funds the Frasier Institute and no one makes any comment about this. Half of our media is owned by them. The convoy was subsidized by US funding. I don’t believe for a moment that the UCP and/or its members aren’t awash in US corporate bribes and cash promises.

      Our country is under threat and no one seems to do a damn thing about it. Why doesn’t any politician discuss this? Poilievre talks about Chinese interference, where is the concern for this interference by the US, very clearly our enemy??!

      Alberta separatists never shut up about running a pipeline through Washington to the west coast.

      If the West Coast went to Canada after Alberta separated, that would be the ultimate poetic justice. Alberta would be back negotiating with Canada but now as a foreign state with all the animosity of a recent separation. I’d almost like to see it if it didn’t mean massive political upheaval.

        Wexit is like Brexit but way more petty, stupid, and pointless. An independent Alberta couldn’t defend themselves against ICE stationed in Montana, let alone the US military proper.

        And, since America is taking custody of oilfields in this hemisphere under the Monroe Doctrine, the Tarsands are a likely target. Danielle Smith better get comfy cosy with the idea of living in a detention facility, charged with “insulting the Dear Leader under her breath” (slander) or “being a woman in power” (blasphemy).

        Also, do they know anything about Washington? Good luck getting us to agree to an oil pipeline.

          I actually wasn’t aware that there would be pushback from Washington on this. The separatists and the Premier constantly go on about how they’ll go to the Americans if Canada won’t let them build a pipeline through BC (even though the Trudeau government literally bought them a pipeline a few years ago).

          I imagine their plan is to ship oil to the Gulf States for refining, and that’s it. They probably also assume they’ll get all of the benefits of being American, which I presume mostly involves second amendment rights.

          Wexit would be Brexit… but with a landlocked country with an economy a tiny fraction of the size based entirely on oil, who unlike the UK (who is going it alone) are subsumed into a larger country that wants nothing to do with the people and wouldn’t even give them a vote. Oh and good luck with all the indigenous peoples, they are famously even-tempered about having their land occupied and will surely not interrupt any economic infrastructure, and that’s assuming the Supreme Court doesn’t stand on rulings that bar Alberta from leaving and taking unceded land with them.

          In a great twist of irony, the indigenous peoples may save Canada, and I hope it ultimately brings all Canadians closer together, and they get the respect they deserve.
