An independence referendum in Alberta – during which separatists receive a huge infusion of grey MAGA money – sees a majority vote to remain part of Canada, but with 30 per cent or more voting for separation. Mr. Trump declares the result is “fake” and that actual support for separation was “well over” 50 per cent. Alberta separatists then appeal to the U.S. for help, claiming various kinds of oppression. The U.S. moves troops to the northern Montana border and tells the rest of Canada that Alberta must be allowed to join America as the “51st state.”

This is the exact narrative the US applied to all Venezuela elections, that Carney parrots. If the US is always right in determining the right election outcome, from Canada's perspective, why would this be different?

Cudos for G&M to publish a pro Canada editorial. Wasn't even paywalled for me.
