Maybe I’m naive but the people interviewed seem to have unique and intelligent ideas on the subject. Though, of course, they didn’t discuss ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity…
The one thing we don’t hear about “les Patriotes” is that a lot of them actuall did want to join the US. Certainly the US has been quite open in their overtures towards Alberta because of the oil.
Of course the First Nations are totally opposed as they have no illusions about independence being a great adventure or whatever but given how Trump is acting these days he may declare that sufficient popular dissent to merit invasion. I wonder what the National Assembly will look like after a couple of Tomahawk strikes.

I hope being exposed to the ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity of St Huey doesn’t hurt their feelings.

They offered me a free chocolat chaud when I passed but I was late for a tea date. Only now do I realize what I missed.

I’d love to hear how they plan to cope with the United States moving in and taking over, once Canada falls apart.
