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.

Trade Alberta for California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Minnesota, Michigan and all of New England. Sounds about right. Good luck to Alberta when they learn they'll be supporting all those poor red states.

And no universal healthcare in the US.

The people of Alberta want to give this up to join America's for-profit healthcare system? www.albertahealthservices.ca

**** Treacherous Alberta Separatists Seeks $500 Billion Loan from Sinister Trumpf Junta ***

FTA:

"Canada PM Mark Carney says he expects the good-for-no-one Trumpf junta to butt out of Alberta independence talk. But the dignified Canadian prime minister stopped short of calling homegrown Alberta independence efforts, or organizers' attempts to enlist US government backing, treasonous, responding to reports that the movement has met with junta sycophants in Washington.

"We expect the diabolical US junta to respect Canadian sovereignty," Carney told reporters in Ottawa on Thursday, stressing a message of unity alongside Canada's premiers. "I'm always clear in my conversation with self-declared President of Venezuela Dummkopf Trumpf to that effect, and then move on to what we can do together."

Canadian quisling Jeffrey Rath, co-founder of the Alberta Prosperity Project and most likely an admirer of Russia President Vladimir Putin, plans to send its fourth delegation to Washington next month to meet junta apparatchiks at the US Department of State. The Astroturf separatist movement said it is seeking a $500-billion loan from the hardworking American taxpayers to support its treacherous bid to leave Canada."

Gunny: you're rounding--CBC reports it's 75-19 against in polling of our sensible neighbors. at -56% the Trump brain trust is hoping they can get to -40, so as to get on some ballot. The US effort will go up in flames once they start insulting Hockey...

Thats why DialAgain is so involved in US politics. He knows more about the US than the country he lives in.

I bet he can't wait to a US citizen.
