      Yes. Look at the amount of maple MAGAts wrapped in they grotesque US flag when they’re at separation rallies.

      Let’s call it what it is: An annexation vote, not separation.

      It’s deeper than that. It’s century-old grievances bundled with anti-vaxers losing their minds during covid lockdowns (border blocking, trucker circle jerks, shutting down Ottawa, etc.). Once covid was done they needed a new cause and the seditionists locked on to that rage.

      The Fifth Estate (CBC) has an excellent short doc on it.

        Yep, they sound like the same people. There is this very similar messaging all these people have in every country.

        I want to say let them separate and find out they can’t do it. But this is what the US wants and you guys can’t risk it happening.

        It not deep at all. This is fomented by foreign groups seeking to destabilize Canada. A tiny group of idiots are having their beleifs inflamed and funded to cause Canada internal strife.
