This does not surprise me at all because of this parallel. When researching Canada's Avro Arrow, many articles came up mentioning how the US would wine and dine Canada's military elites to convince them, and in turn convince the Prime Minister at the time to dump the Arrow. We all know what happened then. Political interference at its finest. We also know the reason was, hook, line and sinker, Canada's dependency on the US for military equipment, and not mentioning one US Senator commented, We don't need the compensation, "especially from Canada." Alberta's separatist movement had better think wisely.

I agree, the separatists should go on down to the US
As they say: "Don't let the door hit [them] in the ass on the way out."
the whole separatist narrative is being grown and pushed by these chuds. ATLAS network and their cancerous cohorts (think heritage foundation in the states) has been making this into a reality for some weeeeird reason.
almost like creating some kind of weird idea that albertans are being trapped by evil communist canada, and might need some help becoming free?
canada needs to respond to this as the threat and assault that it is.
It is blatantly obvious that the American oil interests are behind it. The Goose did a good video about it.
Hows about those who want to be part of the US move there
I think they are delusional enough that they think alberta would somehow keep certain Canadian benefits like healthcare
Or a say (vote) in the USA
I think they are happy to have the opportunity to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
