This is a bigger problem and it is being ignored by governments for far too long. It's not just these clowns, the Ottawa protest, all the Alberta "think tanks" and these NFP NGOs like "Canadian Federation of Taxpayers" who get tax free status in Canada but do not reveal that they are being funded by US Fascist Foundations like Atlas.

You want NFP status in Canada, you should have to be 100% transparent as to who is funding your agenda.

Strip everything away and you'll find it's just the convoy crowd that is still pissed off because they are slightly uncomfortable and they threw too much money at their trucks. Most other Albertans are just ordinary working stiffs like most of us.

Please tell me I’m not the only one that read that as eBay

I love this quote - it provides a little more context - from CBC's coverage:

"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby, ahead of the closed-door meeting in Ottawa.

Eby out there spitting truth. And he's right - this is a separatist splinter group trying to drag the majority of Albertans who want nothing to do with them kicking and screaming into the abyss of US annexation.

Then why don't we ever hear from them?

[–] fourish@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Good. Let’s be honest about what it really is.

How is this not an act of war by the US?

[–] FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca 66 points 1 day ago

I want a warrant out for their arrests yesterday.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 57 points 1 day ago

Finally an elected official has said it.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 49 points 1 day ago

Finally calling a spade, a spade.

Alberta separation is an american operation.

[–] ZC3rr0r@piefed.ca 3 points 19 hours ago

Almost laughably transparently so.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 day ago

It is treason. Canada better charge them ASAP.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Hey they're more than welcome to leave. They're not taking the land but they're welcome to go. I'll even help them pack and give them a swift kick in the ass when they're at the border.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago

I would even support my tax dollars to be used to relocate these assholes to their Valhalla, a trailer park in Bumfuck, Tx. "Love it or leave it" was a great American idea.

In the spirit of Ralph Klein, I think we can find the money to buy each of them one way bus tickets to their preferred US state.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 14 points 1 day ago

They should not be free to leave, they should be in custody right now and charged with treason

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago

Fucking thank God we're on the same page for once

The punishment for treason is worse than prison. As it should be.

The British army got it right in Ontario in 1814.

Trial

Hanging

Heads cut off and placed on pikes and paraded across Ontario towns.

Seems like a lot of work and probably too slow. Guillotines were invented to automate the process. That means they're basically the AI-enabled "smart" version, and everybody wants to use that for everything nowadays, right?

[–] Ulrich_the_Old@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago

It is the 21st century and there are wood chippers on every block. No reason to complicate this.

[–] vogo13@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Great, now time for action not for talk.
