My wife comes from the west. I am from the East. We live in Nova Scotia now but we spent most of our lives in the west. We made some money in the oil and gas industry though it was in environmental reclamation not extraction. Lots of her family people are in extraction.
Some of her family are showing their true colors right now, loudly and proudly on Facebook and she is reading it all. People that tell her they love her are saying how we are all just in it for the transfer payments. It’s all for the gravy train to keep rolling. She’s watching her family disintegrate in real time on Facebook and tell her that she’s a piece of shit as are her friends and relatives from my family, for voting against fascism. Not one of them has considered that they are speaking about her.
We’re as fucked as our neighbors to the south.
Facebook
This is our existential threat.
Can’t disagree with you there. That shit can fuck right off and should be torn to a million pieces never to exist again. I’m not an authoritarian however and people are free to do as they choose. They choose badly a lot. Even those I love the most.
I got banned from Facebook for fighting literal terrorists. Who used the service to attack literal at risk children. If anything. mark Zuckerberg should be tried for crimes against humanity and he and his wife hung like the traitors to man kind they are.
banned […] for […] literal
Okay. I see it now. #thereAreOtherAdjectives
Propaganda is a hell of a drug. I’ve read about similar experiences from Ukrainians with family in Russia.
the west. We made some money in the oil and gas industry
Wrong. You’re thinking MID-west. Get over the Rockies and we’ll talk.
I also studied and worked in northern BC in forestry and lived on the coastal islands as a hippie. Please don’t presume to know me. Did you move to BC? That’s a very un-BC thing to say in my experience of living there and being from somewhere else.
I have also in my fifty years of life, thirty five of which I spent travelling and living in many different places and provinces, most west of Manitoba and east of Quebec, never ever once have I heard Alberta and Sask called the mid west. Never.
They keep telling people to “move back to their own country” so why don’t these assholes just move to Florida. Heck, we can probably even crowd source some funding to pay for their damn tickets.
It would probably be good for them to see how much better Canada has it than the US right now. Our billionaires are living large, but that’s about it.
As someone from the US, I propose a swap program. One pro-Trump admin Canadian for an anti-Trump admin person from the US.
As someone from Canada, I’d be so down for this. What a great deal for us.
Pick me pick me! I even have a reasonably sized vehicle instead of one of the child crunching lane hoggers, and I’m both literate and potty trained (unlike Trump).
Dude can we rescue the ones from red states first?
So we were right. The cons and PP by association wanted to concede to trump.
You spelled “bots” wrong
Remember the bots are also trying to sway public opinion as well. The more people hear the same story it creates this false consensus.
Why did countries stop hanging traitors? I’m pretty sure handing your sovereignty to a foreign nation classifies.
The stupidest thing Is making Canada one state. You guys should become states 51 to 151 and then take control of the USA government.
Or how about you guys fix your own shit and leave us the fuck alone
Nah can’t trust you guys last time you burnt down the white house.
… Allegedly.
Canada wouldn’t become a state, and would have no representation if they were annexed. People are delusional if they think they would get full statehood and all the rights that entails.

Is there a conservative versus liberal heat map of Canada? I’d like to see if there’s connectivity with the US version at the borders.
Just look at the election results.
But no, it’s urban vs rural, as expected.
Remember this for the rest of your lives, the Russians are running AT LEAST thousands of bots that can be on virtually every site known to man, everything they say will push the Russian propaganda. Now, with that horrible knowledge… Add to it that that is just Russia and that China, North Korea and Israel to only name a few are all known to be doing the same. The Internet is a VERY different landscape than it was less than a decade ago.
Please don’t believe the whole world is suddenly conservative Nazis. It’s what they want us to believe so we feel hopeless and give up or give in.
These separatist fools think they get to take the land with them.
I’ve thought since Alberta separatism was first mentioned in the oval office that the idea would be to make Alberta be to Canada what Crimea is to Ukraine. The groundwork had been laid and the danger from the US is real. Thankfully, I believe Carney understands how real the US threats are.
How much of this do we see in Alberta this year?
- Pro-US & Pro-secession information campaigns
- Pro-secession protests & rallies
- US, MAGA, & secessionist flags & slogans
- Violence between pro-🇺🇸 & pro-🇨🇦 groups
- Support from US-based groups
- Staged referendum
- Little green men
why don’t they just fucking move to America then? jesus, the solution isn’t to make canada america, but to move your ass to the country you like then
Umm. Because you can’t just move to another country.
Sure you can! Worst case you end up in Salvator instead but that is still another country.
Lol.
