Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promoted the idea of the province of Alberta voting to exit Canada as his boss lusts for U.S. expansion.

The top Trump officials leaned into “rumors” during an interview on the right-wing streaming channel Real America’s Voice.

“Alberta’s a natural partner for the U.S. They have great resources. The Albertans are very independent people,” Bessent said. “Rumor is they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.”

    Despite Bessent’s claim that people want “what the U.S. has got,” Greenlanders insisted they did not want to join the U.S.

    Americans are deluded about their country being the envy of the world. No one is looking at the USA and thinking “I want that” except for the most desperate and the most gullible and propagandized. Everyone else is quite happy to avoid what the USA has, because they find it disgusting.

    And that includes most of us Canadians. Apart from the stupidest and the traitors and grifters (jointly known as Conservatives) we absolutely do not want to become part of your shitty and declining country. I have many American friends and mostly they ask me how they can escape to Canada.
