The USA is doing its best to try and break up Canada to make an invasion easier.

It's not only the U.S. that is interfering.

The Russian Money Behind Alberta’s Separatist Movement

  • Russia has taken interest in Alberta’s upcoming referendum via disinformation campaigns and propaganda
  • Foreign actors will circumvent election donation reporting requirements through reliance on methods that obscure the money trail

... Between late 2025 and early 2026, the Pravda News Network [a Russian disinformation network] published dozens of stories depicting Alberta as a province systematically exploited by Ottawa. An influence campaign known as Storm 1516 reportedly went further, creating websites such as albertaseparatist.com to circulate fabricated claims—including the assertion that the federal government fleeces $20,000 a year from every Alberta family. Russian state-aligned outlets, like Sputnik and RT, then helped elevate these narratives, alongside inflammatory commentary from sympathetic US influencers on YouTube and X, giving fringe claims the appearance of mainstream debate ...

They wouldn't even need to invade.

The right puppet in the right place is all it takes. Just look at what Putin's puppet, Trump, has done to destroy the US from within without any foreign boots on US soil.

The UCP in Alberta has been involved with the US Heritage Foundation and P2025 and the federal Conservatives have been using many of their same talking points so I'm sure they've involved too. The fascists in the US badly want puppets in Canadian politics and going after conservative parties is the easiest route because people will vote for them regardless of policy.

At this point part of me hopes they separate and their crooked ass gov just gives away everything to Saudi Arabia for pennies on the dollar, just like MAGA is doing.

Bertans can live the rest of their days beholden to the Sultans.

Please don't wish that curse on all of us. That is incredibly cruel.

It's a dark joke. The whole reason I made it is to highlight how the movement is composed of opportunistic grifters and foreign operatives who would sell Albertans out for nickles.

It's so emotional?? WTF? You have Carney: BA in Economics from Harvard, Masters in Economics from Oxford, Doctorate in Economics from Oxford. Europe is embracing Canada... and you're emotional?? Canadians were REALLY emotional when they fought with Europe in the 1st and 2nd WW wars. Canadians were really emotional when the US decided it would be a good idea to annex us! I hope you're emotional when you lose your Universal Health Care, because Danielle Smith has already started steps to make that happen. You want to leave Canada? Go. There will be no coming back.
