This is a great read outlining how the U.S. and Russia are influencing vast swarms of people in Alberta with pro separation propaganda. Spread this article if you agree with your peers, family, and friends especially inside of Alberta to help educate them on how they’re being manipulated by foreign powers.

    I’m positive of this also. I’m also some what positive the referendum is going to happen. Because of how convoluted they have this October vote set up. They well say something like it is inconclusive so we well have the referendum just to be sure. Then for the actual vote people well be like didn’t we just vote for this and not show up.

      Russia just used a referendum as justification to invade. The US could easily fake this one and attack. If it’s allowed to take place then we’ve already lost.

    I wish when journalists and commentators discussed the USA and its language about annexing Canada, they would speak in those terms.

    Using the expression “the 51st state”, affirms an ontological existence of such a thing. I think that’s a semantic concession that shouldn’t be made, certainly not by any Canadian, or by anyone who wants world stability, order, and sanity.
