The truth is that there are some separatists in Alberta, however not all those separatists wish to become part of the US. This move effectively diminishes the outcome of any separation vote.
Not the smartest group pushing for this “ independence “

“However, a significant proportion of people supporting the referendum may be “symbolic separatists,” said Lori Williams, professor of political science at Mount Royal University in Calgary.”
Oh? Yeah when has symbolically supporting a terrible idea ever backfired spectacularly.

Here’s what we know: they should be in prison.

Yeah, maybe some money to help them move to the states and GTFO of Canada if they hate it so much. Fast track that visa application.

Ridiculous that we would even let them stay here, pack them up, and ship them the fuck out. Stop entertaining these fucking losers.

How would America persecute similar action under the Logan Act?

There’s your first clue about their intelligence…asking Trump for help

I wrote about this yesterday when someone posted a daily beast article about the same thing. I said the concern is exactly this: a nothing movement has been elevated by social media to the place where legacy media pays attention to it. Now it’s a talking point in the US. Way to go Danielle. You just fucked Canada. Traitor.

Treason. And should be dealt with accordingly

Thought experiment. What would conservatives call it if there was a BC separation movement, and they were actively seeking a 500 billion line of credit and military support from China?
Greedy_Wrap1877 on
Exactly like the “Russian separatists ” in Ukraine and eastern Europe. Follow the money.

Imagine if Canadians were meeting with some state officials in the USA:
They’d be losing their fucking minds.
The hypocrisy is built into the american culture of exceptionalism – when they do it? It’s okay because it’s god’s will.
Everyone else is of course evil and wrong.
Fuck this timeline and fuck Trump.

Anybody gets the feeling trump might use this as an excuse to invade Canada by way of Alberta?

Russia’s excuse for invading ukraine was also separatists in donbas

They could always just pack their shit and leave. I’d be fine with that.

The BC Premier is right: this is treason.

Talk about room temperature IQ… lets separate our landlocked province, burn our bridges with Canada that surrounds us on 3 sides and an annex hungry US on the southern border, but somehow we will get a more favorable deal despite having no leverage and no friends. 4D chess move right there.

Idiots falling for Russian propaganda call for help from country full of idiots who fell for Russian propaganda

Involuntary incarceration for mental health issues is a conservative proposal. It’s only reasonable spot to run the pilot project is Alberta where, thanks to the separatist movement, the mentally ill are easy to spot.

Our countries should cut them a citizenship deal and they can head on down. Problem solved.
Or charge them with treason.

Shameful losers.

Traitors. Get out. Send them across the border. Experience “freedom”.

Incredible how many people are falling for foreign influencers and propaganda. There has to be a direct correlation to brain patterns and falling for the right wing BS. We already know theres a distinct lack of critical thinking.
Pretty sure “Jimbob from Calgary” was born in Russia.
Sure would be interesting to narrow it down to something specific, and eliminate it.

We are taking the words democracy and free speech way too far when people can openly solicit separatism– sedition. And for what? Are residents being herded into deportation camps? Are people too poor to pay for medicals? Do you have federal police murdering Albertans on the street with impunity? — oh wait, that’s what is happening in the America, not Canada.
Jatmahl on
Why stay in Canada? Just leave…
A_Vicious_T_Rex on
We need to change the definition of sedition and/or treason to include non-force related actions. Simply going to a foreign government and discussing their support of independence/annexation should also come with a punishment

Headline makes it seem like they are asking them to help drive the split instead of with credit financing post facto if it goes through.
You can agree or disagree with separatism, but this is classic CNN.
zerozerosevn on
Did anyone check if these separatists are US immigrants staying in Canada and if they simply don’t care about us and align with the American Mad King?

These clowns are an embarrassment to my home province. I used to be proud to say I was from Alberta. Then the crazies took over.

Let them go!!!! The don’t get to take the benefits with them! These are the type that will defect to the states but want tomcome back to canada for the healthcare
Reasonable-Sweet9320 on
The headline is very Trump friendly.
Trump is pursuing the agenda to destabilize Canada.
Suppose the separatists initiated contact with the White House.
Why were they welcomed there? Not once, twice but three times.
Bessant, Trump and others have been very clear about their desire to annex Canada.
CNN helped get Trump elected by spinning stories in a favourable way for Trump, as they have done with this story.
Hard hitting reporting…..
“A White House official downplayed US involvement to CNN, saying that “administration officials meet with a number of civil society groups. No support or commitments were conveyed.”

I think it funny everyone call it “Treason” if it were treason WTF will the kid glove justice system gonna do about it ?
