Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned Thursday that the United States is trying to break Canada so it can “own us” as he urged oil-rich Alberta not to begin a process toward separation in Monday’s referendum.
The vote is not a direct referendum on independence. Alberta, which has the world’s fourth-largest proven oil reserves, will decide whether to remain a province or instruct the government to begin the legal process toward a future referendum on separation.
“This referendum comes at the worst possible time,” Carney told a large pro-Canada rally in Calgary. “The world has become more dangerous and divided. Some outside our borders are working to break us so they can own us.”
Are they using the same strategy as Russia did on Ukraine?
I think that’s exactly their thinking. They’re supporting separatists in Alberta and Quebec, and inundating people with their propaganda trying to set Canadians against one another and exaggerating how many Canadians don’t want to be part of Canada. Unfortunately, this stuff is quite effective. Unless Canadians stick together the USA may do serious damage to our country. Annexation doesn’t have to take place via an immediate military action. It can be a slow war of social and economic attrition.

You mean “everything is broken” -this was the PC party mantra for 2020-2024. No one even seems concerned Andrew Scheer is American.
Québec PM said he will do a referendum after the orange turd is out/dead
Yah Quebec isn’t Interested in America at all.
I think that doesn’t matter too much to Trump. The goal is just to weaken Canada by any means available.
Really wish the rest of the political spectrum lost its already nonexistent spine and did the same thing back to the US.
Honestly, the best thing that can happen to the world is the three superpowers - US, Russia, China - breaking up into smaller, independent states that do not hold nearly as much influence as the previous big states did. At most, an EU-style independent countries’ (primarily economic) alliance
Russia is not a superpower. Gulf states could be but Russia being a superpower is laughable
It’s not effective, it’s been repeatedly shown to be ineffective when they’ve do polling outside of the provincial gov for it. It’s why the alberten gov has not been showing any of the preliminary results for these votes, the only reason this is being pushed rn is cuz trump is desperate and is looking for any angle he can reach for to interrupt his fall from majority power and a win for his regime.
He is right, and they are also actively working on destabilizing many other parts of the world.
Thats disgusting. We are truely on the worst timeline. There needs to be viscous corruption investigations for all tbe cunts peddling this ideology. I hope they happen in nz as well.
A tar-and-feathering of offending parties would be cathartic for sure, so I’m not against your sentiment, but the word you’re looking for is probably “vicious”.
(“Viscous” means thick and goopy. Possibly also sticky. Thus, tar.)
God damn Albertans are dumbasses
They’re being manipulated by an organized and well funded misinformation campaign. They’re dumbasses but they don’t carry all the blame.
Yeah for sure
Polls suggest the vast majority are against separating. Dont count your chickens before they hatch.
polls don’t tell you which side actually comes out to vote.
Polls suggested trump wouldn’t win either time, but here we are. The only way is to assume motivated assholes won’t have the same apathy as people who want the status quo.
Remind everyone you know that can vote on this to go do it, for the common good of millions of people, instead of a few billionaires who want to destroy everything
For sure I just meant before insulting albertans at least. As an albertan.
