ANALYSIS | The more Trump allies covet Alberta, the less popular separatism may get | CBC News Independence movement leaders cheer on U.S. cabinet member's praise, but resist talk of Alberta becoming part of States.

This article completely misses the point that the US government is actively stoking Alberta separatism and funding it! Want to take over a country? Step 1 - fund and stoke separatists in the country. Do better research #cbc ! #abpoli #canada www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

IMO PM Carney's opening speech is a must watch.
For ALL countries, not just Canada.
He lays out what is happening and the solutions.
"this is not sovereignty, it's the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination".
"Canada has taken the sign out of the window"

Behind the disturbing image of ICE snatching a half-naked, elderly Hmong American from his home DHS has claimed without evidence that they were looking for someone else when they took ChongLy Scott Thao.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

I hope you are wrong. So far he’s been such a breathe of fresh air , so competent and reassuring as a leader. Restructuring the economy off of the increasingly autocratic US is essential for our national security and it does mean we need to be willing to make some hard choices.
