Alberta separatists might look haphazard and kooky, but they have a path to turn a 20% issue into a real threat.
1 - Normalize separatism so it no longer feels toxic.
2 - Tie it to every grievance.
3 - Find a political dance partner. The U.S.A.
They are now pushing all 3 at once.

NEW: This week on 'Whatever This Is', we break down Danielle Smith’s Alberta Next report that pushes big changes nobody asked for.
We explain the strategy, why it signals weakness, and why scapegoating immigrants for Alberta's problems shows they are out of ideas. #ableg #abpoli #canpoli #cdnpoli

It lets doctors mix public and private work, giving faster access to people who pay while everyone else waits longer.

Once one government learns it can override your fundamental rights, every government learns it can too. That’s the danger of the Notwithstanding Clause. It teaches power to ignore accountability.
