Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promoted the idea of the province of Alberta voting to exit Canada as his boss lusts for U.S. expansion.

The top Trump officials leaned into “rumors” during an interview on the right-wing streaming channel Real America’s Voice.

“Alberta’s a natural partner for the U.S. They have great resources. The Albertans are very independent people,” Bessent said. “Rumor is they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.”

Do you think I could get citizenship if I wore my nicest Don Cherry suit?

Wouldn't help your case. Don Cherry is a Trump loving douche.

The man may be a douche, but the suits are legend. So shall it always be.

Fascists are always incredibly well dressed, so that tracks!

Lol…maybe 20 years ago.

Don Cherry got high on his own farts and outed himself as a bigot before he unceremoniously exited the limelight.

I think it could certainly help your case. Especially if you roll up to the interview (is that what happens? Like you're looking for a job?) blasting The Hip.
