Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

I’ve seen several posts of folks sharing the transcript from someone’s Substack. That is a platform that financially supports Nazis. So here is a link to the transcript from a source that isn’t a Nazi bar. It’s a major speech worth reading, unlike any speech from the orange guy

Would you like to meet some of our Canadian senators on Bsky? Sure you would! and Senator Paula Simons has put together an introductions thread just for you 🇨🇦
This is a very kind wish. But I'd also like to ask you to follow other Canadian senators who are already here, and who haven't been as lucky as I have in connecting with an audience. I convinced a fair few Senate friends to give this platform a try, but many didn't feel it worked for them. #cdnpoli
#canadiansky Let’s get the Senator’s follower numbers up to demonstrate engagement here is good comms strategy.
