  1. „Foreign actors are attempting to undermine Canadian interests by interfering in Alberta’s separatist debate, according to new report.

    Actors from Russia and the US are attempting to promote separatist ideas in what researchers behind the report described as a threat to Canada’s „democratic integrity“.

    „When external actors amplify separatist narratives, normalize annexation, encourage national rupture, or undermine confidence in democratic processes, the issue is no longer only a matter of provincial politics,“ researchers wrote in their report.

    „It becomes a direct threat to Canada’s democratic integrity, national security, and cognitive sovereignty.“

    Researchers described Russia’s engagement with Alberta separatism as covert; it appears „doctrinal, operational and sustained“.

    The aim for the disruptors was for the content to then find its way into local conversation, „creating a laundering effect in which local grievances are blended with foreign strategic narratives“, the report said.

    Economic „opportunists“ are also involved, the researchers say, using generative AI, paid voice actors, and video production to „mimic authentic Canadian political commentary“.

    And those online videos are designed to fill the ongoing debate with false narratives.

    Even American influencers are playing a part, Kolga said, „pouring fuel on the issue externally“.

    „The reason they’re doing this is to provoke some sort of political action,“ he said.

    The researchers also noted that senior US Trump administration officials have met directly with Alberta separatist leaders „and made public statements validating their cause“.

    Well ya, U.S. state department officials literally met with Alberta seperatists to encourage them, ita not a conspiracy theory

    Why do we care so much about foreign interference when we allow so much destruction from within. The courts have given Section 35 rights to Americans, they will conduct economic warfare using our own courts. They’re already filing lawsuits in BC to stall our projects. 

  4. Mainstream and social media need to be fairly regulated. These companies need to be held to a high factual standard. Otherwise we will end up just like down south.

    There needs to be RCMP investigation in all who is involved including the Premier for treason against Canada.

    I know this is kind of an oversimplification but can other countries just you know… fuck off?

    Like why can’t everyone worry about their own shit, and not interfere?

    Its funny how the real debate hasn’t even started yet, and the separatist movement have been going on since the creation of Canada. But, some how its all the fault of the two nations we currently have the worse opinions of.

    (Also if its the USA shouldn’t there also be connections to isreal to this; considering how compromised their current goverment is?)

    Another thing; in The Whole of Government Five Year Trends Report (which the canadian government tried to hide from the public) it had predicted the separatist movement back in 2024-2025? It specifically states that the most likely trigger for this would be from Canadians getting informed about the majorities current economic standing?
    So what’s the fuel that the USA and Russia are adding, considering all thats required is informing Canadians the facts?

    (I’m only stating this because it feels like the USA and Russia aren’t the only ones playing the propaganda game, the Canadian Government isnt always on the right side of democracy and law. So make sure you understand where your information is coming from and what their intent is when reading articles and reports.)

  8. Nah I think the liberal government is doing this all by itself by pilfering from the west to give to the east.

  9. Noooooo /s Next you’re gonna say the online echo chambers and rage baiting social media algorithms have lead to an increasingly hostile political discourse that harms the country at a time when we should be focused on the class struggles instead of fringe issues that don’t really affect our lives in a meaningful way.

    Funny how China is left out of this article. Think Carney told his old buddies to keep quiet on our new overlords?

    We cant be friends with Taiwan now since China threatened us a couple days ago about it

    Pretty sure there is an investigation with a sitting MP and David Eby with Chinese interference as we speak. B.C is in such a mess right now.

  11. Our species may be doomed if those in charge of defending it are only figuring this out now
