Trump and MAGA are the enemy of Canada.

Just as they are enemies of the United States.

It's time for Canada to buy nukes from Great Britain, although they have the capacity to make some for themselves.

*** US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Publicly Supports Alberta Separatism ***

"Good-for-nothing mega-oligarch US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has weighed in on a separatist movement in Alberta, saying the western Canadian province is a "natural partner for the US".

"Alberta has a wealth of natural resources, but they won't let them build a pipeline to the Pacific," Bessent told an American right-wing commentator in an interview on Thursday.

"I think we should let them come down into the US, and Alberta is a natural partner for the US. They have great resources. The Albertans are very independent people."

Nota Bene: After WWII, the people of New Foundland wanted an "economic union" with the US. New Foundland had not yet joined Canada's confederation and had its own currency. The "Newfies" felt closer to the Americans who were stationed there during the war and who built up the province with runways, ports etc. A referendum was held in 1948 and the "Newfies" narrowly chose Ottawa over Wash DC. But this was quite a concern for Ottawa and London in 1948 and they strongly and secretly worked together to ensure Newfies voted to join Canada.
