“Very, very senior” officials in the Trump administration have had secret meetings with far-right Canadian separatists trying to shake the foundations of the country. The covert meetings between high-ranking U.S. officials and the Alberta Prosperity Project come as a widening rift appears between Canadian leadership and the White House. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney used a speech in Davos, Switzerland, last week to call out President Trump for creating a “rupture” in the existing world order.

    Oh this is in ties to Alberta huh, good jail smith and her allys immediately for treason.

    Edit: reason I did t suggest hanging is cuz I think our gov would be to spineless to go that far, jailing them is at least effective in removing the largest source of maga influence in Canada.

      Who’s been paying attention and didn’t see it coming? Danielle Smith has been betraying Canadians for years with her shitty policy experiments in Alberta, this is right on brand for her.

        You’ll be cleaning out my neighbourhood for sure. Anyone want to come be my neighbour after the purge? I mean I’m normal. Buddy who’s my garage neighbor out back, he’s normal too. Otherwise we are essentially surrounded by fucktards.

        I mean jokes aside not everyone’s a separatist obviously (like maybe 3 in 10 are), but that doesn’t mean they don’t endlessly whine and complain about, ahem

        "HhhhhhhoooooooottttttttttaaaaaaaaaWHHHAAAAAAA "

        and on and on until you want to stick a fork in your eyeball. Most days I want to self purge myself.

          Fun fact, treason is an indictable offense and therefore you can perform a citizens arrest on someone engaging in or conspiring to treason.

    Probably is actual treason this time and not just sedition, given the conspiracy part.

    As we approach a leadership review in the federal CPC, I want to remind everyone that Smith didn’t start this.

    Jason Kenney was the instigator of Alberta separatism.

    It was Kenney who starting using the “Sovereign Alberta” rhetoric. It was Kenney who invited separatists to the table.

    Jason Kenney lit this dumpster fire, handed a can of gas to a deranged arsonist (Smith), and then severed his ties and ran.

    Canadians need to remember this. Canada need to know that Kenney is willing to destroy Canada for his own gains.

      Does Alberta care? or the Right Wing? As soon as l’il PP failed, they put this asshole fake insurance broker American back in charge of the party. Regina has elected this clown for 20 years.

      He actively sought US citizenship, pays taxes in the US. When running for PM, he stated he was actively renouncing his US citizenship in 2019 but gee, that turned out to be another of his fucking lies.

      You are correct that Smith didn’t start it. Problem is she just kept on running with the ball instead of stopping … so she’s just as much at fault as Kenney is.

        Oh don’t get me wrong, she is MASSIVELY at fault here. She has been courting separation since she was just a shitty radio voice. In the last year she has changed the laws three times to make things easier for the separatists.

        But Kenney is going to make a run for the CPC leadership when Poilievre is turfed, and he’s going to lie about being a strong federalist.

        I want to make sure EVERYONE knows how happy he is to burn down the country.

    Good things they’re all highly regarded individuals and are going to have to go through a civil war before that’ll pans out.
