That’s literally the point, you either pacify the province to end separatism or it grows. MAGA is trying to do it in Alberta, and we’ve had Quebec try multiple times.
I mean hell, isn’t Quebec holding another vote soon/recently?
If you want to end the ability to weaponize Separatism, then the federal government needs to appease the citizens who lean towards it, the federal government did with Quebec and now Alberta wants the same treatment.
Edit**
I think people misunderstand me when I say appease. I’m talking about large issues Alberta wants to see go forward, a pipeline here or some type of change to equalization.
I DO NOT MEAN, APPEASE THE US, or the crack pots pushing for separation. I’m talking about stopping the perceived poopooing of Western Canada’s priorities. You end stuff like separatism by making the life better for the majority of Albertans and western Canada who have historically felt snubbed by Ottawa.
Appeasing and helping Albertans keeps them from leaning towards the crack pots wanting to join the US.

Texas has a higher rate of separatist support than Alberta…

Almost every single prominent MAGA influencer on twitter has commented on Alberta.

Yes. Stop asking obvious questions and instead do a ten-part report that names names, tracks funds, grills those involved, accesses information through ATIP requests, and shout it all from the rooftops.

Obviously, and without a doubt. The bigger issue is that Alberta so easily falls for it.

Same strategy that Russia used with Crimea. Hell, vlad probably gave Trump the instructions.

It’s weird that this logic is constantly applied to Albertan Seperatism, but never Quebecois Seperatism.
One of the many reasons there is a not insignificant chance Albertan Separatism might actually work. It underpins a certain attitude of condescension towards the Prairie Provinces.

Weaponizing does not imply cause, that can be attributed to Ottawa.

Yes. Next question?

Yes and I bet there is a money trail back to Washington.

Yes, next question?

Don’t blame ideas! The issue is more properly the “weaponizing” of Albertans to undermine the Canadian state.

it would be the obvious move. why wouldn’t they?

Absolutely. And it’s a shame the US propaganda machine is so efficient at separating us using the power of social media.
It’s a shame they don’t realize how good we have it, and how much better Canada could be if we all worked together.
When a bully is pressuring you to join their gang, it’s not your interest they have in mind, but theirs. If Alberta were ever to separate this province would go through very very hard times.

Yes.
Duh.
Everyone weaponizes separatism.

Yes and a generous FU to them for doing so
