I have no doubt there is a home grown Alberta separatist movement, I also don't doubt that both State and non-State entity exploit it to cause issues within the Western countries.
If we call Albertan separatist traitors and want to treat them as such, then we better do the same to the Quebec ones as well. We tolerated the Quebec version for generations and gave them sweet deals with little in return.

I agree, but there is a difference between rebellion and treason.

Talking about the PQ and BQ.

Don't shorten the field because your fitness sucks. Its about separatists.

Call me when Albertan separatists kill people and blow up bombs.

The conversation was treat Quebec separatists the same as Alberta separatists.

Considering the present Quebec separatists are represented by the PQ and BQ, I will say there is a difference between working to break up Canada for their region and working to break up Canada so they can run off and join another.

As for killing people and the like, I tend to not comment on things that happened before I was even born as politically relevant to the current situation. Call it recency bias.

No you're trying to frame in the conversation to suit your political biases.

You must be Red Sox fan.

My biases? I hate both. I just hate one more.

I simply don't believe you.

Talk to me when you grow up in Quebec in the 90s and watch as the the separatists systematically dismantle every institution you have one brick at a time the way one boils a lobster.

Your issue isn’t breaking up Canada, it’s what they do afterward?

That's drawing a moral distinction after the fact, not in the act itself.

I literally said I hate them both, for that precise reason.

I simply said I hate one group more because of the moral distinction after the fact.

But, to repeat, I hate them both.

Clear?

 

[Jarnhamar]

Clear?

Not super, but I'm trying to understand.

I don't see your distinction carriny weight. If you “hate them both” for breaking up Canada, you’ve already identified the core issue (secession). Ranking one as worse based on a hypothetical “what they’d do after” is just adding a subjective layer on top.

If both are pursuing the same end (leaving Canada), why does a speculative next step matter more than the act itself? It ends up sounding less like a clear moral line and more like a preference.

To be more glib, getting divorced and remarried is worse than getting divorced and being single.

If my wife wanted to divorce me because she was unhappy I wouldn't like it, but I could understand it.

If my wife wanted to divorce me to jump into bed with or was actively jumping into bed with some jerk with a face tattoo, I would be significantly more upset.

That's the difference.

Now I hate both Quebec and Alberta separatists.

But Quebec separatists what to leave Canada and make their own little shit hole poor country where everyone can speak French and be poor together

Alberta wants to separate so they can make overtures to Washington saying how nice it would if they could just be annexed by them. The Texas treatment.

I hate both, I just hate the Alberta separatists a little bit more.

People don't cheat or leave their spouse because they are happy and satisfied in the relationship.

In our wife senario what of your wife wanted to divorce you and move in with the neighbor who she thinks will treat her better and will respect her more.
