        Our media is so shit, including CBC. The top stories should be:

        Why was the interim PC leader after the last election a US citizen?

        Why did the 2022 trucker convoy have Poilievre for PM flags, when he wasn’t even party leader for another 6 months?

        Why is Jamil Jivani in Washington during trade talks, when he has a history with running a fake charity in Ohio with JD Vance?

            Their whole foreign policy is focused on destabilizing foreign countries and governments. They are absolutely involved.

              Not really. They’re interested in destabilizing America to further expand it’s interests.

              Canada is more likely getting fucked by American and Chinese interests

                They are our neighbour in a contested and highly strategic space: the Arctic. We are a middle power with an economy as big as theirs and as much land. We are allied with their (previous and current) adversaries, part of 5eyes, and freeze oligarch assets.

                We are growing, they are shrinking.

                They are more interested in us than most other targets.

                  I don’t see that. Canada claim to the arctic rests on claiming our land physically extends out. America is up there claiming it with their navy and so is Russia. Anyways meme’n online isn’t contributing to their arctic claim. It doesn’t make sense. Politically Russia does not care about Canada right now. Aside from the odd afro turf about Ukraine, there isn’t much. China is targeting Canada. Big time. That’s where our bots are coming from. China and America

                    You are making assertions based on your expectations about geopolitics? But your reasoning ignores history and Russian known tactics. Not convinced.

                    Yes, so is India and other economic and political adversaries, especially authoritarian countries. China is a risky partner for us in many ways, and for a long time.

                    It kind of goes without saying unless you need to be pedantic and completionist.

                    The major subversive pressure currently is coming from those two militaristic imperialists however.

      Yea that’s my under standing as well. It’s all show. Part of a bigger picture right now.

      In order for Alberta to separate they would need to convince all the provinces to agree and only after the province agree on what they get to walk away with. This isn’t happening.

      They didn’t do a referendum. They found a loop hole. Very likely it was American influence like heritage foundation fixers that worked with them on this. Referendum historically fail. This is the Facebook mom groups type of bullshit

        Alberta is full of ironically named think tanks funded by US Foundations.

        Canada allows its political Not for Profits to hide where they get money from. Why is the Canadian Federation of Taxpayers (who don’t pay tax), refusing to reveal how they are funded?

        Why did they alter their Wikipedia page that mentioned support from the Kochs and Atlas Foundation?

          See this is where protests should be happening. Should be demanding these things they try to hide get dragged into the open. Fucking if we see this we fight until it is dragged into the sunlight.

            I want to know why multiple Liberal governments ignore this issue, but China bad.

            Not for profits in Canada should have 100% open and transparent accounting or lose their status.

          They never have, I have doubts its truly 20%. They have had to push hard for this and manipulate a lot.

            What I think will happen, is that the wording of the referendum question will be a barely readable word salad designed specifically to confuse. Votes will break into three groups: 1) coached to vote for seperatism 2) large random group with poor, or even moderately good, reading comprehension and 3) Can read good and want to stay. I believe that was done with the previous daylight savings referendum question.
