Blatantly funded by the US. Where are all the "foreign interference!!!" Conservatives now? How is this legal??

Alberta separatists never shut up about running a pipeline through Washington to the west coast.

If the West Coast went to Canada after Alberta separated, that would be the ultimate poetic justice. Alberta would be back negotiating with Canada but now as a foreign state with all the animosity of a recent separation. I'd almost like to see it if it didn't mean massive political upheaval.

As a Washingtonian: Fuck that, and fuck them.

Also, do they know anything about Washington? Good luck getting us to agree to an oil pipeline.

Wexit is like Brexit but way more petty, stupid, and pointless. An independent Alberta couldn't defend themselves against ICE stationed in Montana, let alone the US military proper.

And, since America is taking custody of oilfields in this hemisphere under the Monroe Doctrine, the Tarsands are a likely target. Danielle Smith better get comfy cosy with the idea of living in a detention facility, charged with "insulting the Dear Leader under her breath" (slander) or "being a woman in power" (blasphemy).
