      I guarantee you this is some kind of Russian-backed bullshit.

      I have absolutely no evidence or even any indication. But it is exactly the type of suggestion that makes 0% sense for someone to come up with on their own as a good idea, and 100% sense in terms of the way Russia likes to think about what they would like to see people talking about in countries they don’t like. I doubt anyone is even looking at it as some kind of thing that even might happen, it’s just some handy hostile bullshit to throw into the equation to keep everyone busy chasing their tails and arguing and frustrated instead of accomplishing anything running the country.

      This has been Philip’s Conspiracy Corner, tune in next week

        Russia is for sure sowing seeds of doubt across all sorts of movements to politically disrupt us, but the whole reason separation is being taken at all seriously rests entirely on Danielle Smith. She thinks that legitimizing their concerns means that the UCP will stay together because the entire party is built on the idea of sharing a tent with fringe crazies. She’s also encouraging all the talk about it because it is distracting from the government’s ongoing scandals.

          Danielle Smith

          Hm

          After she became premier, it was revealed that she made comments on April 29 during a Locals.com livestream about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Smith argued for a peace plan between Russia and Ukraine and advocated for Ukraine’s neutrality. She also made subsequently deleted posts in March that questioned whether breakaway regions in Ukraine should be able to govern independently, and whether NATO played a role in the invasion, citing a conspiracy theory promoted by Tucker Carlson alleging ‘secret U.S. funded biolabs’ in Ukraine.[118]

          Theeeere it is.

          Honestly? I knew I would find something.

            It happens to states that feel they are the ones providing a nation all the wealth but get an unbalanced return of benefits from the nation. So someone gets the idea that the state would thrive, economically, if they were able to spend their earnings on themselves, as though the nation is holding them back.

            Applying common logic, though, most people don’t acknowledge any of the pros for all of the cons. But there are some—imagine a nationalist mindset for their state/ region if you will—that think it’s the right thing to do because the current setup is “unfair”.
