As a Canadian, and Albertan, I proudly agree the US government can fuck all the way off.
Dude, I'm an American and I'd have told the US to fuck off. That list is insane.
Item #1 was enough to break any deal on its own, but then the list just kept going.
Shit goes down majority of Americans will side and fight with you for you, I'd rather they just died thos administration, but we will stand with ya and fight these cunts as they try to start war if it does happen. All pedophiles must fuckin die especially spoiled orange fucks ue gonna be a piñata
So if that’s the case why aren’t Americans gathering and fighting to get rid of it before an attempt on Canada happens?
I actually don’t know if there’d be a whole lot of resistance from Americans to be honest, I think it’ll be a heap of verbal platitude but not much else.
I hope we don’t see because I don’t count on Americans doing much. I hate to say it but yeah.
If you're talking about mass protests those have been happening. Looks like we're rapidly moving towards a progressive movement across the country too.
If you're talking about more drastic options like a general strike you are absolutely right.
If you expect a violent insurrection that's just plain unrealistic. People generally don't want to die in a war. As long as people can still scrape by, affording a place to live and food to eat, there will not be a rebellion. And don't get me wrong everything is generally unaffordable, but the majority is still keeping just above this point.
No, I’m answering the statement that Americans will fight alongside Canadians if they get invaded, which I don’t think they will. As for a violent insurrection like the one they told us they’d do if it happened because they have a 2nd Amendment for that purpose, no, I always knew its main use was to tell other countries that they were less free. So no I don’t think an insurrection is the answer, though it’s one they often put on other countries. Others that are doing far worse finding food and jobs, but again we have to consider those.
Some of us have been listening to this since 2010. First off they were quite nasty to us about it, then we were expected to understand, now they’re all with us and some want asylum from a vote result. There’s a few passes been handed out and an expectation of understanding that doesn’t get offered by them to others.
I haven't heard that all politicians at every level are getting inudated daily with letters, emails, phone calls and petitions telling them to get off their asses and deal with Trump. Americans seem to be overly content to let Trump burn it all down until November and then somehow think things might just go back to normal. American people have already surrendered to Trump and the billionaires. The rest of the world can see that.
They are but: a.) they don't care. b.) you're not going to hear about it on your media anyhow.
The readers of the Dworkin Report have sent over 825k letters since 2024 and that's just one newsletter.
I can't get involved until its actually started, there's things involved that I can't explain but I just know
Hahaha righto
But you Albertans love Trump and pine to be the 51st state. All of Trump's ass kissers are elected in Alberta.
"You Albertans" is a very broad brush. The current government only won by a very narrow margin (54-45). Our cities are largely progressive, and even our rural areas are only about 2/3rds conservative. In fact, among home-grown Albertans the UCP would already have been tossed out if we hadn't been collecting the people who washed out of polite society in other provinces for decades now. On average, we're less conservative than rural Ontario, but no one is ready for that conversation.
At the 2024 Federal election, which was 100% about Canadian sovereignty, You Albertans voted 92% of your ridings to PC. Here's the electoral map of your progressive views:
Even after the PC leader lost his own seat, and after the PC party had to resort to a US citizen as leader, You Albertans welcomed Pierre Poilievre back to Parliament.
With one exception, Alberta has voted provincial PC since 1971. JFC..you have an Separation referendumb just weeks away.
There are almost as many people in those little orange dots as there are in all of that empty blue space. Land doesn't vote, people do. The polls are still are showing less than 25% support for separation and they are pulling every dirty trick in the book to get it that high. In the 2023 provincial election it was 928,900 UCP to 777,404 NDP. I'm not saying there isn't a problem, or that we're not outnumbered, but it's not by a big margin. The waves of attempted recall elections in the first half of 2026 should tell you that people are not happy, and the fact the province keeps moving the goal posts and deciding to void its own rules just to hang on to power should tell you that it's not a small group of dissidents. We'd have an NDP Premier in this province if 4 ridings shifted and 100k people in the urban metros changed their minds. (or, like half a Toronto suburb moved to Calgary for a year).
