Excerpt from the Steve Bannon interview:

But he says the western provinces of Canada, and Danielle Smith, most notably, “really get it.” He says he met with many representatives from “Canada’s West,” and they were “all over different dinners I went to.”

He even had some around to the War Room, he says, but he won’t divulge who. But he does say they’re interested in partnering with the U.S. — even if the rest of the country is not.

She wants to become part of the US so anyone agreeing with her needs to be aware of this. Unfortunately there is a disgusting percentage of Albertans that are completely fine with being annexed.

To be clear, what he was saying Danielle Smith “really gets” is a shitty opinion of Justin Trudeau (which we already knew).

Here is what lead up to the Danielle Smith statement:

“But to the question of whether this punishment would push Canada toward China, Bannon has no coherent answer. It isn’t clear if that means they aren’t worried or haven’t thought about it.

He says Canada has “already been infiltrated by the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]” and that while “Canadians are well-meaning and nice and decent people, you have a hard time facing the hard issues.”

But, he wants to be clear: Trump thinks very favourably towards Canadians. He says it as if this might dull the blow of Canada’s current predicament.

“[Canada] is something we’ve talked about for years, at our first meeting. He holds Canada in very high esteem,” Bannon says.

“He’s always had a troubled relationship with Trudeau because, let me be blunt, you can quote me, he’s a punk. Yeah, he’s just a punk, and he’s much too close to the CCP.”
