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 ofthe 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 need to send him that Christmas Kefiyeh I had made for him with a custom pro-Palestinian houndstooth weave so he can attend his little Auntie Fasces gatherings.
Here's a sample pattern I had made into cloth:
I hope it looks faschionable enough for him!

Western Canada sentiment has always been a consequence of the population imbalance. It has been said Carney is governing like a "small C Conservative", understandably given minority status. My oracle suggests a snap spring election is unlikely. The main concern is trade and the economy. But if King Donald has his way with Gordie Howe, all bets are off.

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!

"Many Americans are salivating for a piece of the Great White North. They see Alberta as easy prey and a taste test for gutting the rest of the nation.
There has always been a nascent separatist sentiment in Alberta.The same could be said for Texas. There has always been a separatist calling for Quebec. The same could be said for Puerto Rico.
A recent poll shows very few Albertans would actually want to wreck the country. The movement is not just a group of grassroots kooks anymore. They are being fed and welcomed by longstanding American interests."

This might be why I went off on the "wrong" path almost 30 years ago:
Sounds dated as hell (but still rocks) now, but at the time it was some pretty advanced shit...
N'joy!

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.
