let me put this another way: people who die as a result of nonviolent resistance are killed by the state or imperial violence. they are the victims of state or imperial violence. it's not the strategy that's killing them, the strategy is a targeted response to the thing that wants to kill them.

So er, I don't want to be alarmist my Canadian friends but it's not a GREAT sign when the superpower next door starts talking about how the people of a resource rich region of yours yearn for the freedom to join them and suggesting referendums...

Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

Alberta separatists promoting Ezra Levant talking to Alex Jones tells you everything about Alberta separatism, and for that matter, Ezra Levant
The ignorance of Alberta separatists is astonishing.
Having 170 billion barrels of oil is NOT the same as being able to sell 170 billion barrels of oil.

Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%
