Why would or should I do that?
If you say so.
Of course I do. I haven't been taking Trump seriously since 2016.
Hey Congress Dude. Shut the fuck up,

Imagine you were having a cottage weekend with a large group of your friends, and everyone agreed to bring alcohol of different types that would be shareed amongst everyone. Everyone brings a bottle of booze or a case of beer each, but one of your friends is rich, and he says he'll bring a keg because it's no big expense for him. After a few years of this, the rich guy, who's gotten even richer, starts bringing more than just a keg; he starts bringing a selection of high priced whiskeys and tequilas, spirits of every variety, craft beer sampler packs, cases of wine, and yes, still the keg. He always insists on everyone drinking what he brings (he's proud of it and genuinely just wants you to enjoy what he's bringing) and so people eventually stop bringing their own booze unless there's some really niche drink that they know he probably won't bring.
That is a terrible analogy. A couple things are missing; the rich guy's finance folks telling him if he keeps doing that he'll go broke and the other guests drinking his booze are constantly bad mouthing him.
Rich guy, after hearing he will go broke...spends even more because he's old and senile and makes zero sense.

Norman Spector wrote the same thing. The US will be doing what they can to stimulate separatist movements in Quebec or Alberta. He (Spector) also says Carney is desperate for a snap election on this very issue. He opines Trump will recognize immediately a universal declaration of independence by either province with or without a referendum, offer military and economic assistance etc.
Carney wants a snap election? There is nothing to indicate that
Carney will want a snap election when it seems likely to give him a decisive majority, and when he can frame it as necessary to allow him to more effectively advance his economic and policy objectives. That’s the conventional calculus on such things and there’s no reason to think it’ll be any different under the Carney ministry.
