Lazar,

   Curious that you wish to ascribe a positive outcome in the affair to Trump.  No doubt, he will take credit for anything he sees as politically advantageous to his reputation in his normal amusing way.  You seem to credit him, perhaps erroneously, with some sort of positive agency vis à vis the Albertan Independence movement & the potential outcome.

   I wonder if an examination of a sort of negative agency as a preposition to the possible outcome might serve you better?  Perhaps, if the blame is to be laid at the feet of any idealogical idol's altar;  we could say that the failure of the Clinton/Obama/COMINTERN the hobo elite economic policy might be a far better target for your political ire?  After all, Canada's economic problems clearly pre-date any notional Trumpian Monarchy, n'est-ce pas?

  I would say that Eastern Canada's socialist largesse towards Albertan (Western Canada's) wealth into their own impoverished pockets over the years might be the primary agent driving the current political phenomenon we are witnessing, c'est pas vrai?

Doc, buddy, in case you have trouble with the above text, you might enjoy the following vidya:



I am suspicious that it might be AI slop, so hard to tell these days.  If so, it's a damn good one, very natural sounding voice... even has sub-titles (you don't have to read them, they are an accurate rendition of the spoken word).



ediot: to add 'far' for emphasis

I don't have any family in Canada (maybe some distant ancestors from before we ended up in Louisanna from old Acadia or wherever that was up there), any actual Canadian I might know is only from there internet fame (WOTR included in that)...

I see far more actual day-to-day Canadians saying things like this one:



Than I do of the sort that say:


"This is fine!"

I personally don't salivate over Alberta (or any other chunk of Canada) actually becoming a US State, although as the founders once said:

"Friends of Liberty everywhere, but defender only of my own."

I wish anyone trying to get their little corner of the world out from under the "Canadian Heel" well in their endeavors!

Meh. Just another AI punk spreading US based bullshit to break up Canada.

AI deepfakes are getting really good, I suppose.  I would swear on a stack of Bibles + the original copy of the US Constitution that 'PJ the Belt' is a REAL person, in addition to that I would also solemnly aver that he is a honest-to-God Canadian (although I imagine he doesn't want to be a Canadian much longer...  HA!)!

So, we'll take it as a given that the above vidya is AI slop... What aboot this one:



Doc, do you have any thoughts?



ediot:  remove extraneous ' character before the word 'the' in the penultimate (not penultimate anymore?) line of text above.

A meme needs to be created pointing out the fact that it is GUNS that kill people, not the ICE agents themselves.

Whoever the owner is they should make an effort.

I think Dave forgot the admin password.

Ahmazing!
