Remember this for the rest of your lives, the Russians are running AT LEAST thousands of bots that can be on virtually every site known to man, everything they say will push the Russian propaganda. Now, with that horrible knowledge… Add to it that that is just Russia and that China, North Korea and Israel to only name a few are all known to be doing the same. The Internet is a VERY different landscape than it was less than a decade ago.

Please don’t believe the whole world is suddenly conservative Nazis. It’s what they want us to believe so we feel hopeless and give up or give in.

I’ve thought since Alberta separatism was first mentioned in the oval office that the idea would be to make Alberta be to Canada what Crimea is to Ukraine. The groundwork had been laid and the danger from the US is real. Thankfully, I believe Carney understands how real the US threats are.

How much of this do we see in Alberta this year?

  • Pro-US & Pro-secession information campaigns
  • Pro-secession protests & rallies
  • US, MAGA, & secessionist flags & slogans
  • Violence between pro-🇺🇸 & pro-🇨🇦 groups
  • Support from US-based groups
  • Staged referendum
  • Little green men

Umm. Because you can’t just move to another country.

I get your point, but in what reality does it make more sense to move a country than to move to a country.

Yes, you can. Almost every country has a path to a visa/citizenship somehow. Work visa, student visa, investment visa, expat visa, green card, etc. etc. etc.

It takes some effort, but less effort than trying to install a dictatorship in your own country would I suspect.

Well. That’s my point the original comment made it sound like they should pack up and leave. Not quite that simple.

Sure you can! Worst case you end up in Salvator instead but that is still another country.

We should be carefully taking down names. Not to do anything now, but to hold them to account if another violent insurrection occurs.

Because even if Trump invades, these traitors will likely be hunting down the rest of us, and likely exterminating us as well. We need to be able to identify the traitors.

Ha! As a life long Albertan. We have had this cancer for a very very long time. Up until the NDP won an election a few cycles back the way it tended to work was the only way to unseat a conservative government was with an even more conservative government.
