    Trump cancels any talks with Canada over tariffs because of fords anti-tariff commercial, because we’re meddling in their politics, but these Nazi fucking yanks can do this?

    Time for Canada to cut off all talk with the filthy yanks, cut off the power we provide them and let them stew in the cold for a while.

    Fuck I hate America.

    OK cool it’s good to hear we have the money to give another country a “loan” to basically buy them.

      Bribe leaders. Alberta will want to keep universal healthcare as part of the deal. Rest of you will pay for that too

        Until they become the 51st state, which will be a “join or else” deal. Then they’ll enjoy the US healthcare “system”.

    How much in oil do they pull out a year in total and then after costs do we know?

    If I recall it has a high break even point, I think 60 a barrel even, they’ve to like steam oil sands and then remove the water, and it’s a type of crude they’ve to add extra viscous chemicals to so it doesn’t clump up, or something.

    So it’s okay if Canada and the EU would support and fund the independence of California?

      I would say no, and I would expect any sensible country to bar this within its borders. To the extent that a state should have a nonviolent means of secession, this above all should not be subject to foreign interference.

      You can find a more detailed view of my opinion on specific independence movements elsewhere in this thread.

      Regarding California or indeed any other state breaking away from the US, it’s none of our business. And, before you ask, in the highly unlikely event that they wished to join Canada, I would expect them to gain independence and then, separately, start any process of joining another country.

    Where are all the “foreign interference!!!” Conservatives now?

    Tucker Carlson and his lot are all in on this.

    This is an important distinction: foreign means “foreign.” Venezuela and Canada are considered to be the US’s back yard, hence fair game. This is what anti interventionist MAGA has been pushing and pushing for.

      The Canadian prosecution and courts absolutely need to squash this. Sub-state actors goin on random adventures like this causes war down the line - in fact we had a 30 Years’ war about that.

      It’s just capitalism, baby! Just a business arrangement between two close personal friends in the oil industry. No need to get democracy involved.

    Always was. Make no mistake that Alberta is Canada’s Sudetenland/Crimea. Is it not obvious to say the US military appears more similar to Nazi Germany rather than Russia a couple years ago. Canada is stronger with Alberta and when it’s annexed there must be a fight or it’ll just be easier to get at the rest of greater Canada. Ideally to send a message, traitors/secessionists are imprisoned ASAP.

    You all wannabe Americans? Go ahead and move to the US. Apply for citizenship. No one is stopping you. You’re doing the rest of us a favor.

    But, you don’t get to take the land with you.

      We could start by enforcing our laws. Foreign interference is everywhere, and we’ve just ignored it for decades. Eg, the US funds the Frasier Institute and no one makes any comment about this. Half of our media is owned by them. The convoy was subsidized by US funding. I don’t believe for a moment that the UCP and/or its members aren’t awash in US corporate bribes and cash promises.

      Our country is under threat and no one seems to do a damn thing about it. Why doesn’t any politician discuss this? Poilievre talks about Chinese interference, where is the concern for this interference by the US, very clearly our enemy??!

      We should have some citizenship exchange program so they can swap with those being persecuted in US for not being male white rich.

      No one is stopping you

      To be fair, even if in the US legally, ICE is stopping you. And then shipping you off to some other foreign country’s jail.

    This is an ongoing operation by the CIA to Balkanize Canada. Canadians need to wake the fuck up.
