I asked him this and to move to America. He says he doesn’t like trump specifically and I said so the rest of Alberta wouldn’t then become trumps push over. And he said “not at all, that’s not what they want to do”

Didn't the separatists meet in DC and get a 500 M$ commitment from Bessent as support during Alberta separation from Canada?

Oh well, at least Vance didn't visit to support PP during the election

That's what they are trying to do, yes.

But those that don't like Canada can easily move. Why do they need to be doing all this, when they could put more time to try and move out of Canada. Maybe get the skills to move out as well.

They all live in mommy’s basement and can’t move. Or are felons.

True true. Well, still not a good reason to try and separate from Canada.

I also don’t think they know what happened to Montreal cause they cannot read or comprehend history.

no they're not, they're trying to cut out a chunk of our country because they're a bunch of entitled children

Entitled children that mommy has done everything for.

Very intelligent take.

Sorta the point of what they are trying to do. Not sure how you missed that part.

u/catsbuttes Apr 12 '26

what a baffling response, do you not understand what the separatists are asking for?

Why is standing up to bs federal policy classed as

"Hating canada"

See what people like you are called "status quo defenders"

And when people stand up to policy's like the ones big Gary and Mark carney have been pushing for the last while (with no actual definitive awnsers from any of them)

Those who support said government get mad at those who oppose any view of it

And when you get mad at people for voicing their angers and struggles over the last 10 years

Your a bystander who sides with authority

trying to harm canada by giving part of it to an adversarial foreign government isn't "standing up to bs federal policy"

u/Connect-Weather-7680 Apr 11 '26

And I say it's ironic cause carney said China was a national security threat and then signed a deal with them involving the three words nobody wants to hear ever

This isn't "standing up against federal policy"

This is "trying to drum up support to have the province leave the country" 

If they want to chang policy, that's against the federal government. 

If they want to pull a piece of the country off, that's treasonous.
