While this might not meet the criminal definition of traitorous behaviour…I’m left grasping for other words to adequately describe this level of treachery.
“Dennis Modry, a co-founder of the group, told NBC News that border security, the Canadian pension plan, taxes, national debt, and the possible currency revamp were on the table. So was the development of an independent military”

Fair.

And in that context I would guess they’d annex it (I should say, my province) as a territory.

Why annex it when they’d have a compliant - and desperate - group running it?

“Useful idiot” for MAGA.

Appreciate the sensitivity and respect of CBC’s coverage. It’s been noticed.

Alternative headline:
Trump threatens bridge to prevent Americans from discovering a country where decency prevails.

I’ve been making the same argument for some time.

Somehow I don’t expect it will dissuade the UCP.

JJ isn’t shy about his own ambitions.

He best remember: “He who comes for the king never wears the crown.”

How stupid are their supporters to fall for this?

It’s a bridge over an international border…BOTH countries control what goes over it, dingbat.

Not a constitutional lawyer…
My read of the clarity act is that the split would require negotiation, including the First Nations affected.

Remember Meech? Charlottetown? That x10.

Yup.

This is the cohort that worries me the most. The ones who will vote “leave” just because they’re pissed off with the status quo and want to “shake things up,” but haven’t given a moment’s thought to what that means.

It’s taken Britain how long to Find Out? And they were “just” leaving the EU.

F——-g cowards. Every one of them.

A lesson in how to be both stunningly arrogant and a witless stooge.

One of my most chilling memories of visiting the concentration camp at Dachau was how close it was to the town.

…onboard video from every car on an F1 grid, surely we could use this to expose the off-camera nonsense that goes on in QP. Like MPs changing seats to make the place look full, the LOO asking an intense question of an empty PM chair, etc.

Could we be so bold as to rename it “Answer Period?” Or is that raising expectations too much?

Seriously, I think the notion of longer answers is a good one.

Another suggestion: Put several cameras in place, to allow viewers to see the whole chamber. Digital technology allows viewers to see…

So Trump’s popularity does not surprise me. His base has been marinating in an alternate reality for 30+ years.

I remember arguing with a Republican friend about the invasion of Iraq, ca 2002. He was operating from a completely different set of “facts,” obtained from Fox News etc. I asked then how the country could have a meaningful conversation about anything in such an environment.

Not unless he can learn to stand up to the orange menace.

The STCA was dangerous for refugees from the beginning. Sustaining it now is a travesty.

* to be clear, in the first paragraph I’m referring to Quebec. And only to Quebec.
February 1, 2026 at 11:23 PM
As an Albertan, I have to say there’s some legitimacy to the historical & cultural distinction behind the separatist sentiment. I believe they’re better off in Canada, and am grateful most Quebeckers do as well.

As for my province, “whiney, greedy, sore loser” is not a culture.
