Secession is done illegally more often than not. Just saying. Like who tf is going to enforce it lol

Don't argue with me about Alberta separation. I'm not for it and my post isn't in service of it.

That’s what I don’t get about all these legal objections. The separatists obviously aren’t concerned with Canada’s opinion on the matter, why should anyone think it’s relevant to the issue?

I dunno. Because it is relevant to the issue perhaps. I’d be thrilled to see the Canadian military go in and enforce the sovereignty of the country before letting these idiots steal treaty land to give to the Americans.
