Definitely a problem for Americans that their treasury secretary keeps freelancing into diplomacy and pissing off the populations of other countries
This Bessent guy who is probably known to <10% of Americans is becoming a household name worldwide as the man who says "The US will control you and take whatever we want from you, because the strong must punish the weak. Are you triggered?"
I'm hearing offhand mentions of him on UK soccer podcasts.

Just genuinely, remarkably stupid.
Alberta has plenty of provincial debt -- and more each year. Any separation agreement would require it to take on a proportionate share of the federal debt.
If anything, an independent Alberta currency would be a recipe for hyperinflation.

Modry added that an Alberta currency would "become the world's strongest currency, because we have no debt."

Here's the full speech. It is a dinger. Glad the PM is using an international stage, but all Canadians need to hear it. We're in this thing together.

A little shameless soft-launch
I've been working on a little hobby project over the break around the realities of Alberta Separation.
Assuming the current state tax replication with

Interesting look at a kidney stone under an electron microscope; I always though it was painful because you were pushing an object through a hole too small for it to easily pass, but no it's literally just razor sharp crystals too.
