Self governing doesn’t mean they’re independent / sovereign. I don’t see how your comment changes anything about what I’d noted, honestly.

Its like saying “The Palestinians have voted, and Israel will now stop bombing them”. Or claiming that the Palestinians are sovereign/independent just because they voted and declared themselves a nation / tried to get into the UN. The cold reality is that if they lack the power to enforce that vote / declaration, it’s fairly meaningless.

Another example would be things like the Trump administration’s war crimes. The world voted / generally agreed that certain actions were war crimes, and that there should be repercussions should anyone commit them. The US commits them daily, and is not accountable for their actions, because no one has the power to enforce those declarations against the US. But you think a FN vote will beat them. “OK, sure, whatever”.

Hate to burst your bubble… but BC’s currently looking likely to elect a conservative party later this month. A conservative party that had staffed up with Alberta separatist staffers, prior to its leader stepping down, and then the subsequent election call.

A 75% chance of a conservative majority, when the conservatives don’t even have a fixed leader at present – which also makes it really hard to attack them on policies, as it’s not clear if they’re “totally separatist traitor cucks” or just “regular conservative sorts” (ours hadn’t been quite so crazy as the states, until recently, what with all the US influence campaigns and money).

The interior and northern areas of the province have almost always been conservative areas. Only Vancouver, and parts of the Island, are likely to be ‘sympatico’ with your perspective.

Mhm. Right. A paper contract that’s only valid with Canada. The reason FN are not in favour of secession/US control, is because they’d almost definitely lose any treaty-like claims and privileges. Those treaties are only good so long as Canada maintains control over the area. If Alberta, with the backing of the USA, declares that land not part of Canada, what do you imagine is going to happen – outside of a strongly worded letter of protest and some thoughts and prayers on facebook? Canada can’t realistically retain that region by force, especially if the people of Alberta are against it. FN would not be able to stand up to, nor ‘negotiate’ with the USA’s more authoritarian / fascist regime.

At best, you’ll get something like what happened to the Mohawks after the various wars for independence were settled, and the states basically kicked em out for having sided with the brits. FN might be given an opportunity to resettle into other parts of Canada as essentially refugees.

Oh, I’m not saying to shorten it or clean it up. Have them read the whole thing, word for word, as best they can.

I think it was in his first term, for example, when foreign news translators were getting in trouble constantly for translating what he said directly – his drivel was such nonsense that people just couldn’t believe it, it all sounded so stupid. And without Trumps cadence, the stupidity stands out even more. If you add on to that an actor that’s the “wrong color” for Trumps pride, and make them stumble over his nonsense word choices, with the occasional “woops I’m shitting myself midspeech” facial expression thrown in for good measure…

I mean, I’d be laughing pretty hard. And I’m sure Trump, if he saw that on multiple stations, would go totally off the deep end. It’s petty, and low brow, so I’m pretty sure he’d be able to understand it.

It’d be hilarious if CNN and other news agencies did something that’d totally skewer and enrage the president in response to his bullshit: stop showing live footage / coverage of Trump, and instead just have either News anchors attempting to read his quotes word for word, or have something like a black lesbian actor portray Trump recreating his word soup speeches. Or maybe have it be cartoony animated re-enactments, similar to what we sometimes see come out of Asia. “Subtlety” emphasize things like his sleeping, shitting himself, hair issues, simp’ing for Harp, etc.

A narcissist, having his public appearance clipped.

Or maybe just officially partner with SNL to do skits for presidential news coverage. America’s a fuckin joke these days anyhow, may aswell embrace it.
