The MAGA Pipeline to Breakup Canada MAGA Alberta’s latest attempt to sow division came in the form of a two-pronged assault.

Last week Alberta quislings were in Washington to further the break up of our nation. Meanwhile Danielle Smith is setting up a fight over a pipeline that no-one is trying to build.
It is about stoking the base and driving rage against Canada.
My latest.
