It seems not ideal that the UK Government is currently collapsing into a pool of its own inadequacy whilst a close ally is genuinely at risk of having little green men cross the border into Alberta
i think the risk is not that they succeed (if all NDP voters + at least 30-40% of UCP voters vote against the referendum) but rather how the US responds, given that they've been backing these guys
15% of Albertans want separation. The rest would vote Democrat, just to give them the finger if this ever happens.

@markshainblum.bsky.social , you wrote a poli-sci-fi story about "going there" back during Trump v.1.0, right?
I'm about as hawkish as they come on Canada insulating itself against developments in the US. Ironically it's because of that I think Canada nuclearizing is a bad idea. It is one of the few ways to open the door to support in the US for an attack on Canada. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...
