Outstanding piece, Mcstylez! Am sharing this with the growing Freditorial phalanx. Canada is like a marriage in which one party has been enduring beatings for far too long. If we end up with Carney, as looks likely, beatings will continue and Alberta morale will not improve.
I wouldn't go as far as to say Carney will win, but Poilievres mandate might narrow enough to give the Trudeau appointed Senate a pretext to obstruct Pierre's entire legislative agenda.
As I tell my son, my concern is that the complacency of many voters, among the 90% of Canadians living outside Alberta, is almost infinite. I fear that many central Canadians are jonesing to vote Liberal again once Zoolander has taken up his UN sinecure.
I guess a true Alberta separatist would see that as an opportunity, but I am not sure that most Albertans yet understand how badly we have been screwed. Jason Kenney could have done some education on that, but the pandemic intervened.
There will surely be more of Alberta getting bent over, maybe in a Liberal government response to Trump's tariffs and certainly when Carney takes over. I expect the Libs will make another deal with NDP Juggie and stall the election as long as permitted.
The East Coast is basically a 2nd Maryland (woke and broke), the Great Lakes region is split between a French Quarter that wants to be part of the EU and resents ever being forced to speak English (even though they're all fluent), and Ontario which is basically another California but colder.
Then you've got some good ol' heartland/midwest territory, and then the West Coast which is basically another Oregon or Washington State. And then the north which is Alaska except basically a giant Native Reservation.
Politically, everything in Canada outside the Midwest (and mayyyyybe the ice reservation) is a liability for conservatives.

A deal between Carney and Singh can stretch the election until fall of 2026…
I hope somebody in the white house reads this
Canada should be annexed

So, annexing would mean finally an end to canada
And it would also guarantee Democrats ruling the White House in perpetuity.
That would just accelerate the balkanization so another win
