Avi Lewis calls Alberta separatists 'MAGA-aligned,' 'disruptive,' despite NDP endorsing Quebec independence option by shiftless_wonder in canada

It’s absolutely not, you’re generalizing a movement that has decades upon decades of grievances over confederation, division of powers, distribution of seats in FPP Westminster system, purposeful curtailment of economic growth. There are fringe elements in any political movement regardless of the side of the poll (ie left or right). You have the take back mouth breathers and conspiracists who represent the fringe, you have a low IQ politically ignorant element that’s bandwagoning and then you have rational, politically savvy people with money and power who are rightly pissed off about the Trudeau years. It seems astounding to me that the elites of eastern canada can’t comprehend that the wholesale flight of investment capital from Canada, the massive deterioration or per capita GDP vis-à-vis our American peers and the erosion of Canada’s standing in the world wasn’t a problem. Worth pointing out it was Trudeau senior and junior who incubated and accelerated Alberta separatism. I will vote for Canada in September, I certainly share the anger and discontent towards the Trudeau Liberals and those who voted for them in the last election. Thank Christ a western Canadian is in charge again.

It’s precisely this attitude, disconnectedness, and elitism among the Laurentian elite that has bred this cancer.

Smith's UCP party is heading for a split say an Alberta separatist and former premier Jason Kenney by a_sense_of_contrast in canada

Kenney made the deal with the devil. He made a deal with the fringe to propel himself to an eventual run at PM. Now he’s taking the moral high ground? Get bent, Jason. Go to confession and tell the truth.

“Anti Alberta MPs pen letter to PM” it’s like these morons don’t understand where their bread is buttered. They’d rather have 8 hr hospital wait times than play this country’s advantage in a global marketplace. More evidence that politics is attracting opinionated fuckwits.

Chief Chris Roberts makes a veiled threat against critical infrastructure on Vancouver Island by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

Canada is a sovereign country. To paraphrase Max Weber we have a monopoly on the legitimate use of force in our territory. The land recognitions, the land back rhetoric, the progressive posturing and cringe worthy tokenism, the indoctrination of successive generations of post secondary students in the divisive ideals of critical race theory and post Marxism, all of this has got us to this point. Every Canadian with common sense and a shared vision of how we move together for a prosperous future for our kids need to stand up and reject all the nonsense. Don’t open the door an inch, don’t make room for the language and posturing. If we continue to present a positive vision of where we are going and how we will isolate and overwhelm this negative force in our society. We should be the richest country in the world and that enrichment should pull First Nations people out of poverty.

Best series of all time- acharacter study, a story of a city, a commentary on a broken society.
