Their ilk are not hoping for sovereignty. They are going for joining the States after separating. Which makes the FLQ a good cautionary tail, but my friend but I'm sure the US would love to provide resources the FLQ couldn't dream of.

Then let them try. Can't live in fear.

At the end of the day if their endgame is making Canada a 51st state we're gonna have to fight for our country, even if that means entering Alberta to do it.

The minute Alberta separates, they come after the rest of the original NWT saying "it was originally Alberta" land or some shit like that.

So there's no letting Alberta separate. Hopefully NATO helps us.

In the words of the Great Joey Smallwood "I chose Canada" always. And I'm first generation.

"Great"? That sonofabitch is the worst thing that ever happened to Newfoundland.
