Alberta Stands Apart in Canada. Now It Plans a Long-Shot Bid to Secede

6 comments

1. Submission statement: a New York Times peice covering the Alberta secession/51st state movement. There were several interviews on the ground. With a lot of focus on how carney has to immediately solve this crisis. This does not focus on the headwinds to pulling it off (massive) instead focusing on the pro American aspect and genuine anger.

2. As an Albertan, there are *very* few people in the province who are onboard and actually want to separate, regardless of what Reddit tells you. The vast majority of us are *really* tired of hearing about it, though. It’s a nothing burger.

3. If by standing apart you mean being run by a corrupt lunatic then yeah sure why not

4. How does Russia feel about the succession movement?

5. Oh boy, I guess we can soon see “secessionists” and “ethnic Albertans” using suspiciously new American weapons and hardware causing chaos in the province, with Pesident Trump sending “peacekeepers” to Alberta and demand bufferzones a few years later.

   What will we call it this time? Special Freedom Operation?

6. “Alberta” isn’t planning a long-shot bid to secede. Some loonies in Alberta are trying to get it to secede. One of those loonies managed to get made Premier, which did not make her any less loony.

   The Times is such absolute garbage these days…
