    And the majority of my relatives in rural alberta are hoping it happens. White people who’s grandparents risked it all for what we have today. We are on a really sad timeline.

        They think that the rest of canada steals all of alberta’s money. They can’t comprehend that corporations are robbing them, not ottawa. They think that alberta’s oil belongs to alberta, not canada, but they also think they are entitled to the rest of canada such as the coastline.

        I left alberta permanently and I’m so glad to be done with this toxic mindset. Brain rot.

      Pretty anecdotal. I’m writing this from Alberta, and I’ll be standing in defence of my country. Be careful to not paint populations with wide swath brushes, due to a few screaming super loudly. I bet you if you had actual bonafide data and could run the numbers, there’d be just as many of them in BC, Manitoba, Ontario, etc.

        I dunno, lived in BC for like 10 years now and I’ve never met a person that believes this is a good idea

          I’ve yet to meet someone in Alberta that thinks it’s a good idea. Even my UCP cuck neighbors draw the line at this. And they have Danielle’s schlong just about coming out their assholes.

      Many in Sudetenland were hoping Hitler to invade. Neville Chamberlain/Czechoslovakia appeased them and made the world lose so much more. You are a traitor appeaser, shameful but you will likely be at war within a year or two so reap what you sow bastard, I’m just glad I had a chance to spit in your face.

    I think it’s important to prepare for it, whether it’s a 1% chance, 50% chance, or 90% chance.

    Unless we’re able to defend ourselves, in this world we’re going to get taken advantage of and mistreated. The current US comments and their embarrassment of an ambassador are a stark reminder of that.

      The only realistic way to defend ourselves are acquiring nukes

    Venezuela, Iraq, Ukraine and North Korea had proven that there is no sovereignty without nukes

    The other 2/3rd’s are Carney-Pierre-voting Peronists who will welcome the invader with open arms. Canada still has easily over a trillion invested into the US economy not even counting citizen investments, there has been zero demand to divest investments, ban US propaganda platforms, plus most will allow Alberta to be annexed which will cause the greater Canschluss. Go ahead cry more, downvote, shoot the messenger.

    “‘How many members are there in it?’ That is the first question I am asked by newspaper reporters. ‘How many followers have you? By their number we shall judge whether what you say is true or false.’ I do not know how many there are. I am not concerned with that. As I said, if there were even one who had been set free, that is enough.” - J. Krishnamurti
