      We have our douchebags like any other country. What’s not to understand? But seriously how is this not treason?

    2. The meeting was cut short when mother of the leader of the separatist group called him up from the basement to have dinner.

      Not difficult to understand at all. Alberta is a mostly conservative/republican province. A LOT of the industry there is tied to oil. Canada mostly wants to move to greener energy which Alberta has a problem with. Alberta is commonly referred to as the “Texas of Canada”.

    4. To be clear, it is just a small minority loud mouth idiots who are doing this. The rest of Alberta/Canada do not want to separate

    5. “Fringe separatists” should kinda tell you that it’s not a widely held opinion in Canada.

      Just the “maple MAGA” crowd as they’re known. Mostly Albertans.

    6. It’s Alberta. At least part of Alberta. We have the same kind of dingbats trying to join Idaho.

      Not hard to understand.  White alberta really wants the First Nations people to be deported. 

    8. You can leave Canada, but nobody is gonna recognize you as a country. On top of that, what’s going to prevent Trump from invading Alberta (now an independent country) and stealing all the oil? He already did that to Venezuela.

      Please believe that these are a tiny minority of Canadians. Every culture, country, community has its fringe lunatics, these are some of ours. We are looking into charging them with treason so there could be a silver lining here.

    10. It’s right there in the title – “fringe separatists”. I fully doubt much of AB agrees with them

    11. It’ll never happen because Alberta is basically all native land and without their consent these ass clown traitors will just end up packing their bags and moving to Texas. BYE. Enjoying paying $100,000 for a trip to the ER LOL

      Albertans who want to leave are welcome to. Unfortunately for them, the resources of Canada belong to all Canadians, not just a fringe group of mid west wankers.

    13. Every society has dissenters. America claims the grass is greener. Some people want to change countries and honestly I wish we could just go to whatever country we’d be happiest in. Switzerland would end up as dense as New Delhi but damn it I want them apls and these losers can have my “freedom” healthcare

    14. Those Epstein files aren’t going to disappear on their own. How much crap will he start to distract from them.

    15. As an Albertan, I feel pretty confident in saying that guy has never done anything that requires that hat.

    16. In the 1980’s the Prime Minister of Canada unveiled something called the national energy program (NEP), which was supposed to spread the wealth from oil-rich Alberta to the much less wealthy provinces, in an attempt to level the economic playing field for the entire country. But it also meant taking away a lot of the jurisdiction that Alberta had over its own energy resources. The reaction from Alberta was immediate and very long lasting because all I heard while growing up in Alberta was how evil the federal government was. Fast forward to today and there’s a whole new generation of people in Alberta who still believe the federal government is evil despite the fact the NEP was never implemented. But these are the same people who watch Fox News and believe anybody who is not a conservative is a traitor to whatever vague version they have of Canadian patriotism.

      The far right conservative idiots who are pushing this narrative about Alberta separating from Canada are just that; idiots. If you listen to them for more than a few minutes, it’s obvious they have a very slim grasp of economics or how Canadian law works, or anything to do with Canadian history. The group pushing for Alberta independence, the Alberta Prosperity Project, is no different from MAGA; they are white cristo-fascist nationalists who blame all of society’s problems on immigrants (especially non-white immigrants) and the deep state government.

      The real problem is that the Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith, spends a lot of time talking about how she’s the Premier for all Albertan’s regardless of their race or social status, but she has made at least two trips to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump. She is doing everything in her power to push an independence referendum forward despite the fact the separatist voices Alberto are very much a minority of the population.

      Trade Alberta for Washington, Oregon and California. I would like free healthcare.

      America has plenty of their own idiots, it’s not that complicated. We aren’t immune.

    19. Alberta 👏 Is👏 Treaty👏 Land👏!

      So eff off with this bs! Leave the country if you want to, but your taking nothing when you do

    20. I’m in Alberta. If you asked the average person who this unelected hogfaced guy in a cowboy hat negotiating on our behalf was they’d have no clue.

      He feels he’s entitled to negotiate on our behalf for some weird fuckin reason.

    21. Alberta separatists are a small and stupid bunch.

      The story that matters is the US continuing to try to destroy us. It’s like they want to play war crime BINGO.
