I don't think NHL or PWHL players should take part in the #Olympics. Most of the players from Canada play in American teams. How can they not be biased? How can they not fear reprisals?

If Alberta separates, BC is in a tough place. Firstly: cut off from the rest of the country. Secondly: Omeneca, the Peace, are Alberta west in spirit so he may be looking at the breaking up of his province. If separation does occur, BC should revisit the creation of Cascadia.
