    Everyone weaponizes separatism.

    That’s literally the point, you either pacify the province to end separatism or it grows. MAGA is trying to do it in Alberta, and we’ve had Quebec try multiple times.

    I mean hell, isn’t Quebec holding another vote soon/recently?

    If you want to end the ability to weaponize Separatism, then the federal government needs to appease the citizens who lean towards it, the federal government did with Quebec and now Alberta wants the same treatment.

    Edit**

    I think people misunderstand me when I say appease. I’m talking about large issues Alberta wants to see go forward, a pipeline here or some type of change to equalization.

    I DO NOT MEAN, APPEASE THE US, or the crack pots pushing for separation. I’m talking about stopping the perceived poopooing of Western Canada’s priorities. You end stuff like separatism by making the life better for the majority of Albertans and western Canada who have historically felt snubbed by Ottawa.

    Appeasing and helping Albertans keeps them from leaning towards the crack pots wanting to join the US.

    Almost every single prominent MAGA influencer on twitter has commented on Alberta.

    Yes. Stop asking obvious questions and instead do a ten-part report that names names, tracks funds, grills those involved, accesses information through ATIP requests, and shout it all from the rooftops.

    Obviously, and without a doubt. The bigger issue is that Alberta so easily falls for it.

  5. Same strategy that Russia used with Crimea. Hell, vlad probably gave Trump the instructions.

    It’s weird that this logic is constantly applied to Albertan Seperatism, but never Quebecois Seperatism.

    One of the many reasons there is a not insignificant chance Albertan Separatism might actually work. It underpins a certain attitude of condescension towards the Prairie Provinces.

  7. The separatists get their strength from Alberta not being fairly represented federally. Bills like c-69 overwhelmingly impact Alberta and our ability to prosper, couple this with carbon taxes, fertilizer reduction “initiatives” ( I.e bans) and other items these liberals bring forward is what is really fuelling the sentiment. Of course the cbc and liberal cheer leading squad want to blame maga, Trump or literally anyone but the very liberals who are fueling this. After a decade under the liberals and their own doing the sentiment will only get stronger unless we get some real chage federally such as a higher seat count in the House of Commons, senate reforms where we can choose our own senators. It’s aggregating that we watch tv on election night and before the first ballot is even counted in Alberta we learn that we are stuck with the liberals yet again leading the government.

    Danielle Smith literally has the logo of the „liberty fund“ tattooed on her arm, the same group that helped get people like Ronald Reagan elected

  9. Albertans are way to smart to fall for this…… Ahhhhh crap never mind lol

  10. Conflating western alienation with American propaganda is becoming a central plank of the Liberal strategy. It is much easier for them to blame Trump than deal with the very real consequences of their legislation and policies that hurt Alberta.

    If you’re old enough, you’ll remember how bad western alienation was following Pierre Trudeau. The resurgence is very much the legacy of Justin Trudeau. Carney has a lot to repair still.

    Did Putin destabilize eastern Ukraine before invading?

    Yes and I bet there is a money trail back to Washington.

  12. If you want to eliminate the Alberta separatist discussion, then instead of writing some nonsense about MAGA, listen to what Albertans who want to separate say…

    Very few want to join the USA. Instead, the issue has been the same for DECADES. Albertans who want to separate mostly just want fair representation in Ottawa. They feel (rightly) that Alberta contributes more than their share but has no voice in Ottawa. Every election is basically called after the Ontario polls are in. You wanna eliminate Alberta separatism? Adopt a Senate that has actual power and 4 senators per province.
