Fascist states are always a threat.
Half of Canada was fully on the Trump bus the day before the tariffs hit. Canadian conservatives are as rife with MAGA anti-environmentalism, xenophobia, and rabid imperialism as their peers in Michigan, New Hampshire, and Idaho.
They just don't like being on the receiving end of Trumpism.
Edit: We'll see who is getting downvoted once the Alberta Separatists are running your biggest oil wells.
I'm getting real "my truck is bigger than your truck" vibes. Contrary to some beliefs, running a country is actually more than making money. I know it can be hard for some people to see past a single policy though.
Hardly a sentiment alien to the Great White North.
Ah, but all the Tories need to run is a marketing campaign. They can worry about running the country later, kinda like how Johnson and Starmer were left to sort things out after Brexit.
I mean, American liberals said that about immigration 20 years ago. Kicked the can down the road even when they had supermajorities in Congress and a free hand to write whatever reforms they pleased.
Now, here we are.
Cost of living increases in Canada are driving people crazy. But the only response either party seems able to field is "More structured privatization, more subsidies, more deficit hawkery, more neoliberalism".
The Alberta Solution hinges on the theory that they can outrun capital consolidation if everyone becomes a roughneck earning six figure salaries at the well-head. Obviously bullshit. But you can at least point to current salaries and all those middle-income riggers and truckers with their big cars and nice homes and pretend it's a serious solution.
Carney's up the same shit creek as Trudeau, though. He can't do any real economic reforms that run afoul of the country's biggest private stackholders. So he's just left fiddling around the edges of policy, hoping Toronto housing prices magically deflate sometime in the next five years.
