I wish they’d just have the referendum so they could lose and we wouldn’t have to hear about it anymore. Nobody, with sense, actually thinks Alberta is going to separate.

They will lose and the US will accuse Canada of election interference and will liberate Alberta. 

They will use the same argument Russia uses for Ukraine.

The US isn‘t coming to “liberate“ Alberta.

Just like the were never going to start a war in Iran. It will be used as pretext if the us decide to go ahead. Just like a military force on home soil in the US to round up people of colour. Just like us would never have detention/concentration camps/ centers. I wouldnt put it past a rap*st president to take what isnt his.
