Canada is not actually 'battling for survival' in the context of secession, because in both Alberta and Quebec secession has relatively small amounts of public support. What we're battling is dipshit far-right populist politicians enabling/pushing for this destructive bullshit.
The Globe and Mail@theglobeandmail.com · yesterdayLeaving Canada is effectively on the ballot in not one but two provinces: Alberta and Quebec. It can seem like Canada is battling for survival on multiple fronts, apparently out of nowhere. But there is more to the story. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
Oh wow In May, I reported Alberta separatists were using an app developed by GOP operatives with ties to US ambassador Pete Hoekstra @theglobeandmail.com now reports the same operatives flew to Calgary on a private jet for a secret meeting with separatist leaders: pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...

“The Trump coalition is fracturing due to his peculiarly terrible misrule. Inflation, tariffs, and war are alienating working-class voters. His subjugation of the GOP into his own personal cult is alienating non-MAGA Republicans. His violent ethnic purges are driving away Latinos.”
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 9h agoSomething big may be happening: Trump's world-historical misrule may be creating the conditions for the emergence of a coalition similar to the one that ousted Viktor Orban earlier this year: Anti-corruption, anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy. I made this case here: newrepublic.com/article/2161...
If a neighbouring country is sending political operatives from the ruling party into Canada to advise and assist separatists on how to promote and campaign for secession from Canada and providing them with technological and logistical support for their campaign, that country is no longer an ally.

We’ve always known, but now it’s confirmed, that Danielle Smith’s separatist friends, including a sitting UCP president, have been conspiring to hand over Alberta’s land, oil and water to Donald Trump. Albertans deserve better than this weak leadership that hurts us all. https://tgam.ca/3Txh5Gt

Yes, just like it’s SOP for the New York Times & CNN to treat both parties as normal pro-democracy parties & stenographize/platform presidents & White House staff. It is a broken model completely unsuited to a political world in which one party has collapsed into far right authoritarianism.

The last boom from the mid-2000s to 2010s came with the side-effects of cost inflation, labour scarcity and housing shortages — the industry has changed significantly since then.

Michael Tracey is actively attempting to dox Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 rape case
Michael Tracey wants it to be known that he was *not* trying to "doxx" the victim of a horrible gang rape, he was merely trying to expose her identity and reveal it to their entire world. They're very different things, you see.

Stephen Harper has, as we've long awaited, weighed in against Alberta separatism. But man oh man, do I have to strongly quibble with him claiming sentiment was zero when he was PM. Here's a 2014 poll putting belief in separation at 23%, which is where it sits now. nationalpost.com/opinion/step...
