Alberta’s separatist sentiment has resurged in recent months amid the Trump administration’s comments about the province’s future, coupled with economic and political tensions with the Canadian government. Andrew Chang explains what it would actually take to grant sovereignty to a Canadian province, and why it’s so difficult to achieve.

    People said that what Trump’s doing was “impossible”.

    When you’re seeing people who’re in the process of removing all the checks+balances, & I’m talking about Trumpites in Canada doing that in Alberta, because they got power, then predicting based on the establishment-framework is bullshit.

    Trump’s already removed a foreign country’s leader, charged him, & then dropped the charges, so now they’re trying to come-up-with other charges, from what I’ve read…

    Establishment’s “order” is only-convention, at this point.

    Trump can annex Alberta with the Trumpites in Alberta, who’re in-power, SIGNING AGREEMENT with that & then it’d be a military problem for Canada.

    Living in the past’s habit is idiotic.

    Trump’s changing the rules, & the QC separatists are fighting to butcher Canada every bit as much as the Albertan ones are.

    With Trump-regime’s help, they’re a real threat to Canada’s viability in the coming All-Americas war, after Trump ditches pretence-of-democracy, & concentrates entirely on his “continental kingdom”/“manifest destiny”.

    See the thransformation’s still-accelerating progression for what it is!
