The CIA behind a coup? How preposterous.they all commonly also believed 2014 was a cia coup in Ukraine

Easterners make stuff like this, then wonder where western separatism comes from...

The casual bigotry of Easterners toward the West is always fascinating to me, as a Maritimer disparaged by both groups.
In my youth in the aftermath of the second Quebec referendum, I toyed with the idea of BC independence for about a nanosecond. Mostly from a throwaway line I read in a book I read about the national unity question where the authors stated that the only province that had the economic ability to go it alone was BC. It didn’t take long for me to figure out that BC would go from being a part of one of the wealthiest, most influential countries in the world, to New Zealand. Don’t get me wrong, NZ is great. But their Air Force doesn’t have fighter jets. An independent BC would have to pay for all the trappings of being a state including a credible military, foreign service with embassies, a national security apparatus, etc. These things aren’t cheap. Taxes will have to go up. There goes any economic advantage you thought you had over neighbouring jurisdictions.
As for Alberta and/ or Saskatchewan becoming an economic powerhouse once the chains are broken from Ottawa, I don’t think so. A landlocked country of 4 million people with a single industry dependent on world exports is not ideal. And swapping imperial overlords in Ottawa for imperial overlords in Washington is laughable. Alberta would go from being the wealthiest province in the country with 4 million out of 40 million people to Oklahoma, if the Yanks grace you with statehood which is not guaranteed. You would more likely become a territory like Puerto Rico with no voting rights or representation.
Much of this rhetoric is being boosted by Russia, China and Iran, because this only benefits our enemies.
Bit more on that

Albertans rally for separation, saying things won’t change under Confederation
Katheryn Speck was among hundreds of people who rallied at the Alberta legislature to support separation from Canada, with many in the crowd waving Alberta flags and a few even displaying the U.S. Stars and Stripes.www.ctvnews.ca
the comments here show the really the type of people supporting this. Really trying to debate 3 on Twitter, they all commonly also believed 2014 was a cia coup in Ukraine and that Russia is winning the war. So I am starting to question is AB separatists are a foreign influenced destabilization campaign
The CIA for one has a long history of secretly financing the destabilization of other countries, especially in Latin America. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they were in Alberta right now giving financial and strategic support to some of the separatist leaders.That was never in question.
Based on the 2021 poll results redistributed, with no changes he would have been marginally ahead in 2025 with the new boundaries.Was the area Poilievre inherented in Ottawa after boundaries were redrawn mostly Conservative or mostly Liberal previously?
That's unfair. Carney was a public figure with a small p political presence in both Canada and in the UK before he entered the big P Political arena.We probably don't need the cool guy Poilievre stuff anymore, he just got humiliated by a political nobody haha.

And a big suburban chunk of his former riding went to Ottawa South. McGuinty saw an increase of 19% vote share this time over the last. So it is possible that a significant portion of that may have voted against PP if the riding had stayed as it was.Based on the 2021 poll results redistributed, with no changes he would have been marginally ahead in 2025 with the new boundaries.
I don't care where you stand politically, this is a basic truth. Which makes it both funny and sad simultaneously.Typical of Canada, we were very proud of him .... right until the point he decided to enter the political arena![]()
or the chinese? They probably have more to gain than the u.s. by de-stabilizing any western countryThe CIA for one has a long history of secretly financing the destabilization of other countries, especially in Latin America.

But is he the best person to run against Mark Carney for PM in a few years? He was probably the best person to run against Trudeau. I don’t personally believe he’s the best the CPC can choose to run against Carney, and that’s the choice they need to make.After consideration and despite the ignominy of losing his seat Poilievre is the best candidate to run the CPC for the next couple of years. At least until a strong replacement can be lined up.
The Liberals aren't a new party, someone needs to call them on their shady behavior.
A number of countries could gain from a fractured Canada. But the U.S. would gain the most from Alberta pulling out of Canada. There’s no way they could possibly exist as an independent or even semi-independent country for very long, even if they allowed rail and highway trade between British Columbia and the eastern provinces . The U.S. oil and gas industry already pretty much controls the shots in Alberta and they would get the U.S. government to help grab Alberta and possibly Saskatchewan very quickly. British Columbia couldn’t exist very long either. After that, the other provinces would topple like dominoes…even linguistically different Quebec despite their language laws.or the chinese? They probably have more to gain than the u.s. by de-stabilizing any western country
No questions allowed until Tuesday? Weird timing of a press conference and to add no questions? Weirder
