    Setting the table for the future annexation. “Mistreatment of Americans in Canada” is pretty much all the excuse they need.

    Didn’t Canada’s parliament just give Charlie Kirk a standing ovation? Wasn’t Alberta just talking about seceding? So is it only “elbows up” for some people?

    No country is immune.

      They did not. They gave a standing ovation to a speech.

        a speech about Kirk that directly referenced him

        Kirk’s name should have been left out of it, the other content was fine.

        I mean she wrapped it up by doting over kirk, and then the standing ovation happened, so they gave a standing ovation to her fawning over kirk

      Alberta is always talking about seceding. They never do because its all a show and theyre actually a bunch if cowards that would never do it. Just talk tough while everyone else rolls their eyes kinda thing.

      Quebec on the other hand…

        Quebec would be welcome to the European Union any day. Hell, Canada as a whole would too.

        They don’t go through with anything because it would backfire monumentally. Alberta’s inclusion in the charter is mostly treaty lands, and to dissolve the province means the treaty owners get their land back. There’s not much of Alberta that’s not treaty lands, and the oil sands falls under that umbrella.

        To top that off, the tribes who are party to that treaty have already already said they would petition to rejoin Canada

    Hoekstra should be recalled and expelled.
