"Officials in the Donald Trump administration discussed loaning the oil-rich province of Alberta hundreds of millions of dollars to help it become independent from Canada, a prominent separatist is claiming."

Big if true.

Just the reminder that

A) These people don't have the numbers:

B) The Vast majority of Alberta is treaty/crown land which they don't have rights to take with them.

The only way these people are seperating from Canada is committing treason and working with Trump. It's unbelievable after what happened to Ukraine in 2022 these people are dumb enough to give Trump a reason for a invasion.

Wrong answer.

You don't start a debate on the technicalities of an absurdity, because the other side isn't interested in a good faith discussion.

You shut it down completely, you call them what they are: stupid, gullible morons who need to keep their mouth shut since they can't cobble together a coherent thought, or even outright traitors that need to be hanged.

Anything less is giving ground for free.

Keep believing that and they'll just separate one day. Why would they care about the treaties? And if the US is backing the separatists there is nothing anyone would be able to do. Go to court they'll ignore the verdict like with soft lumber.
