Terrible idea, that new country would instantly realize how awful it is needing to negotiate for oil when you have zero local sources of it.

The US has Texas, and Canada has Alberta.

You do not wanna form any kind of new pseudo country that doesn’t have oil in 2025, you will have some serious issues within a couple years.

The only people that talk about any states or provinces separating are the people too ignorant of just how deeply they are dependent on all the rest of their country’s exports, imports, and production.

Yes, even backwater places have an absolute fuck tonne of stuff they produce that you depend on every Just because you might think mineral mines, farms, oil, steel factories, forestry, etc etc isnt of major value, it is and you literally depend on it daily

You cant break out from that, but too many people have become too deeply dumb to grok how fucked their life would become if their specific state/province seperated.

You’re cost of living would fucking skyrocket to levels you cant even imagine. So much random shit you currently take for granted still being affordable would vaporize as you suddenly realize “Oh yeah I guess we dont make that here locally do we, where does that come from? Shit it comes from there? I never knew they made this stuff, I use it every day! Now I cant have it at all? I can still, it just costs a lot more and is imported? Well how much does it cost? (spit take) IT COSTS HOW MUCH NOW?!?!”

I’m seeing news of top level officials being forcefully removed from the premises and resisting eviction.

So how’s that occurring with a single shot fired?

Query:

Where the fuck are all these people’s guns

Like if random dudes stroll into a government facility, start installing unapproved hardware to open uo vulnerabilities…

Why has literally no one just shot them?

Like isn’t that straight up terrorist actions? I’d terrorists or hackers tried to do thus, wouldn’t they just get…

shot?

Why didn’t a single person in that enture building not just fucking shoot these people as soon as they started plugging unapproved stuff in? Shouldn’t they all be fucking dead?

It’s a federal government building, it’s insane that random people could just walk in and plug stuff in without just getting fucking shot to death

Did they walk in with guns too? What? I don’t understand, was it always just that easy to compromise the enture fucking US government infrastructure lol

Just walk in with a machine and a clipboard, plug it in and go “no no don’t shoot, I’m with DOGE”

How was the response anything less than “we have no idea who the fuck you are, leave the building or we will open fire”

This entire article puts the blame on Harris

It doesn’t even touch on all the issues around potential tampering with votes, gerrymandering, interference with voters, and how the votes for Trump had substantially odd statstical erratica in their results in swing states.

I haven’t met anyone yet who was pro Trump and didn’t have a “fuck Trudeau” bumper sticker or flag or whatever.

But I do live in Alberta where there are just straight up genuinely people, in droves, that are pro trump antivax idiots.

The other day several people all in a group tried to convince me that electronic voting was unreliable and only hand counting votes could be relied on…

I love my province, but I feel an incredible sadness for most of the people that live here.
