Im not a fan of the status quo...

Me either. You must've read some of the positions I've taken; I'm not shy about unreasonable aspirations. But this is actually a limited issue with limited impact that could be settled on its own.

A media agency reporting on attempts to sway public opinion...oh, the irony.

Network of YouTube channels pushing U.S. annexation and Alberta secession narrative, report finds

A network of inauthentic YouTube channels posing as Albertan voices is spreading misleading content about separation and U.S. annexation, reaching tens of millions of viewers, according to a new report.

Good.

These tech companies are allowing every bad actor to just flood social media with this garbage that has the sole effect of harming democracies.

I remember last year, when Israel and the USA bombed Iran the first time, a bunch of pro Scottish independence Twitter folks went silent, only to pop up again after the bombing stopped.

These groups are rarely home grown, and these channels are rarely run out of the places that insist they are serious about sovereignty.

And we are supposed to sit here and pretend to take these groups seriously. Nonsense.

Anyone know how much polls shifted from prior to the last Quebec referendum vs what the actual vote turned out to be?
