Trudeau didn't stick with his promise to create a proportional representation electoral system because Canadians were either resoundingly unengaged with the idea or against it!

In your founders' efforts to prevent an absolute monarchy, they also prevented a constitutional monarchy (a later evolution) which would have stopped any president who violated the constitution...months ago. Canada is a constitutional monarchy, and a parliamentary democracy.

Beautiful oratorical prompt, but he failed to jail-break Europe's worst inpulses. Extortion and threat with one hand; flattery and admonishment with the other. And dripping with 'Make the West white and Christian again'
Religious nationalism is a disease.

When people began building permanent shelters, separating into nuclear family units and alienating gender and sexually diverse people, the human sexual ecosystem was broken. We do not know how to be with each other anymore, so we do not know ourselves.

True.

The bridge is half in US territory and the US is welcome to half ownership as far as I'm concerned. It's not like Canada would be responsible for all the maintenance costs of the US side of the bridge.
Yawn.

...and back to Prime Minister Carney's speech at Davos. He heralded an emerging new world order and advised middle-power nations to pivot and form their own trade and political networks, reducing dependence on the US. Carney has been patient, but Canadians may not be much longer...

Blame everything on Ottawa and then, basically, dare Ottawa to enforce or intervene. It literally doesn't matter what Ottawa does or doesn't do, the CONS will twist and turn anything to make it 'us against them'. The politics of division serves no one except the CONS.

A third option: acquire nuclear weapons temporarily, until our conventional force is built up, say a 10 year period. Canada could borrow them from allies.

Manitoba here,

'western Canadian alienation'
is something people cry out at anything they don't like.
Everyone has to accept that the world isn't set up to satisfy just them. This country is built and runs on daily compromises.
Try expressing gratitude for all that we have here.

The bilingualism requirement for Supreme Court judges does not alienate western Canadians. The only people it alienates are bigots.

Furthermore, it's not an unfair barrier when it applies to all. A western Canadian can learn to speak French as easily as everybody else.

A referendum to secede has no legal authority. Provinces do not have the right to unilaterally separate. It would require a constitutional change, approved by at least 7 provinces/territories representing at least 67% of the Canadian population. Also, first-nations treaties are the law.

Trump said he would do that if Canada signed a free-trade deal with China. Carney said he had no intention of signing a free-trade agreement with any non-market economy. Why? Because as an economist, Carney knows that would be stupid.

Separatists are quitters.
We will soon be creating a civilian-reserve force of up to 400,000 Canadians, prepared to aid and defend Canada during natural disasters and war. We need citizens who are committed and determined to be a part of solutions.
Quitters need not apply.

"..high treason means attempting to or successfully...levying war against Canada from within; or assisting an enemy at war with Canada."
The US is at economic war with Canada and wishes to annex us.
So if not treason, then "Pre-treason"? (sarcasm)

The far right thinks kids are property, not people. This is the heart of the anti-trans moral panic. - buff.ly/oQENZx3

Conspiring with a foreign government which has already mused about annexing Canada, to undermine our democracy, is treasonous. There's treatment for persecution complex and the paranoid and narcissistic belief that the feds spend their days trying to screw over Albertans.

If your fascist rulers had any sense, instead of threats and coercion, they could have proposed a pan-americas free trade deal: from Cape Horn in Chile to the North Pole. But instead, they pissed on the dance floor, puked on the cold cuts, and passed out on our mother's orchids.
