    I don’t think Trump will. He’s not used to respecting boundaries of any kind.

  2. Are there American separatists Canada could meet with? I mean isn’t this stones and glass houses?

  3. This shouldn’t be allowed. This is treason.

    At the end of the day, these are just morons who have no power to decide who Canada does or doesn’t belong to, having a meeting with a moron who also has no power to decide who Canada does or doesn’t belong to.

    And if he doesn’t? Like the other 100 times you’ve asked? Are these people serious when they think he will just wake up one morning and decide to be logical and fair?

    The only way Canada will be able to truly feel safe on the matter of its sovereignty is if our resources magically all disapear, or we acquire our own nuclear arsenal.

    We need a push to loan nukes from our allies until we can build our own nuclear weapons program. The next 50 years will see so many countries losing their sovereignty and none of them will be nations with nukes.

    We cannot repeat Ukraine’s mistake.

  6. It’s insane, it’s like the current Russian behaviour. I wonder why that would be…..

  7. Lmao, how did that work for Denmark? They aren’t going to, might as well play their game. Meet with Cascadia and Calexit separatist and see what they think. – a Californian 🙂

    He could play the Putin card. A few Russian speakers means it’s their land, let’s take it by force

    meeting with Alberta separatists is literally the opposite of respecting Canadian sovereignty

  10. Canada better watch out because this is literally the same excuse Russia used to start the war in Ukraine. They let the situation cook for a few years then started amassing troops on the border and one day they offered protection to the “separatist” regions and invaded. It sounds like some conspiracy theory but the US threatens to annex Canada or Greenland every other day.

  11. I mean, Carney should meet up with California, Oregon and Washington separatists in a response – two can play this game

  12. The US officials probably called Russia for help before the meeting. We need to defend you against the Canadian Monarchial Regime that hates your people and wants them eliminated. Soon we’ll be like “Who gave the Independence Party of Alberta anti-aircraft missiles?”

  13. That was a weak ass response from Carney. He needs to look at criminal charges for those involved and Daniel Smith needs to condemn the traitors that met with the Trump admin.

    Semi related, but I *get,* say, why the Quebec sovereignty people exist, but why Alberta? What’s their story? Not a Canadian, so I have no idea what their deal is or why they have their own separatist movement. Just curious.

  15. He’d be better advised to assume Trump will butt in. Therefore, he should be crystal clear:

    “Trump, this is none of your fking business. Butt out.”

  16. I find that this type of rhetoric is coming from small rural communities and I really never think much of it. I live in Calgary and have a very public facing job and literally have never met a single human who shares this opinion.

    This guy behaves like American presidents used to behave. Wish we had a guy like this in office

  18. He doesnt. He won’t. Someone delivered a speech the other day that made it pretty clear that Trump acts this way because he can and we need to find other people to deal with, for not only trade but also for mutual security. And if youre familiar with the history of American foreign policy, you know that they ally with separatist groups, fund them, and grant them legitimacy when it furthers US priorities against foreign governments. (And then they toss them aside once theyve fulfilled their purpose, something that continues to come back and haunt the US)

  19. I do find it interesting. According to polls the desire to separate and be separate is between 20-30%

    But the desire to join the US maxes out at 15% (between 10-15%)

    I wonder if this news turns possible independence voters away because they have no desire to join the US and don’t want to risk it. In the end cannibalizing the idea

  20. Nah y’all better start making intelligence and Law Enforcement moves. Especially if you didn’t know this occurred.
