I am more worried about war in Minnesota than in Greenland or Canada.
The US is hours or days away from civil war. This might sound extreme, but if Walz has the Minn National Guard blocking ICE ops, the usual response of the fed govt to governors using NG against feds is to call out the army. 1/

The Alberta 'separatist' movement is so clearly bought and paid for (or at the very least, willing to be).
"The movement is selling itself as pro-American in hopes of securing a C$500 billion loan from the U.S. government that would help facilitate Alberta’s “seamless departure” from Canada."

As I am working on a talk and larger project on the importance of worker unions for the preservation of and deepening of democracy, it is worth putting into context how draconian the Alberta government's actions were yesterday with regard to the teachers' strike.

Moreover, the issues at the heart of this dispute are left virtually untouched. Classrooms will continue to be complex, will continue to be full, and will do nothing to address educational needs. It will also do nothing to address teacher retention issues that are already at crisis levels.

I believe this was predicted but still disquieting. One would have to be naive to think such a covert operation is not already planned or underway in Canada, most likely centred in Alberta. Trump’s CIA serves Trump after all.

Canada has some of the highest per capita emissions in the world, and Saskatchewan is 25% higher than other provinces. That’s why climate change activism is more important here than anywhere else even if it feels hopeless.
