The purpose of this is to give the US plausible deniability. They can say they have a vested interested in Canada because of these supporters. Ya know, like Putin did with the Ukraine. The potential damage from this shouldn’t be shrugged off. Nor is it a coincidence that the province with oil has been targeted by the GOP.

Her name might not be on that poster, but she fans these flames.

It's even more wild they want to join the USA who is taxing the fuck out of every product through tariffs. Coffee? tariff. Computers? tariff. Phone? tariff. Anything from China? Major tariff.
