For the Albertans that want to be Americans, that is their choice. The land, on the other hand...

Its really not that hard to understand. The US wants oil, the end.
Its the reason for what happened in Venezuela
Its the reason why Iran is happening
Its the reason why this shit in Alberta is happening. While the other two went through violence, this is going through spies and AI lies.
Seriously, people behind this should be convicted of treason.
The US wants oil, the end.
Not only oil. Canada has a lot of other resources under the ground that they want as well.
And, of course, all that precious water.
Friendly reminder from a yank.. Don't let them manipulate your country too, these people are the same people that caused interference in our elections and want to annex Greenland. There's a reason elons grandfather's "technocracy limited" was banned in Canada around ww2..
Of course youtube wilñ not remove that or remove the idf chsnnel but they are removing iranian lego videos
Please keep your crazies. We have too many here. Also, if the US takes them, can those of us who don't suck come there and live?
I propose an exchange program for the Canadian crazies and US pseudo-refugees to trade citizenships.
Look at me, I am surprised! /s
Duh. Propaganda is cheap as fuck right now.
Cheap as fuck to buy one-off. Expensive as fuck to fully saturate the market.
My handful of run-ins with online advertising have only sold me more and more on Dead Internet Theory. You really need to unload your wallet if you want a meaningful online presence. Otherwise, you're just pissing down the sewer.
I bet a few thousand bucks gets a lot of TikTok’s right now.
Don't worry, the Yanks hate each other so much, they will turn on each other long before Canada ever does
We actually like each other and know how good we have it
Stay strong hosers
Im with a lot of Albertans who are (rightly) ticked off at how much our province has been taken advantage of by the east for decades now. We DO want to voice our displeasure (thus the Convoy) and Im uncomfortable but see the necessity of the sabre rattling as a tool for negotiating a fairer deal for Alberta in Ottawa. It's worked for Quebec for years, we're just copying their strategy.
But will separation actually happen? Nope. The clear majority don't support it. Would some in America like it? Sure, they already buy our oil at a huge discount, they would love it if they just owned it all. But you gotta be a whole lot of wingnut to believe that jumping into bed with the shitshow that is the US administration would be in any way better than what we have now. There are definitely some separatists here, but they are a small but loud minority.
Albertans and Quebecois both are and are going to be astroturfed by the US into thinking separatists movements exist with the assistance of Postmedia. Be prepared.
What do you mean "thinking separatist movements exist"? They definitely do. I just watched a reel on fb about some people waving Alberta flags and collecting names for the separatist petition in my own town. They're out there working for it every day. Its a small but determined minority.
Well . . . Yeah. Youtube and everywhere else is swimming with russian bots.
