Alberta’s separatists want Washington’s help. But Trump is so unpopular in Canada that his support could hurt the very movement seeking to harness his influence. Read more: bloom.bg/4yrTVjN 📷: Artur Widak/NurPhoto/Getty Images

"I believe there’s about a 50% chance we all die because of the development of smarter-than-human AI systems," writes Geoffrey Irving. time-magazine.visitlink.me/c…

So, the separatists are literally trying to trade away Alberta's oil -- Alberta's inheritance - in order to secure American support for independence. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

‘St-Pierre Plamondon was scheduled to attend the meeting, according to correspondence between former U.S. consul general Robert Sanders and a Quebec public official, which The Gazette obtained.’

OPÉRATION TRUMP : LE PARJURE DE PLAMONDON Paul St-Pierre Plamondon a menti aux Québécois. Plus tôt cette semaine, il affirmait n’avoir eu « aucun contact », entamé « aucune tentative » pour rencontrer Trump ou des membres de son administration en secret. Or, ce matin, à 48 heures d’un scrutin crucial, The Gazette nous révèle l’ampleur de l’hypocrisie de PSPP. L’ambassade américaine a confirmé au journal montréalais que le PQ a sollicité des rencontres avec des membres de l’administration Trump. Et les rendez-vous auraient eu lieu en mars, n’eût été la guerre en Iran, qui a contrecarré leurs plans ! Des démarches du PQ, bien sûr, entreprises en catimini, cachées du regard des Québécois. Confronté à ses contradictions et omissions (version polie !), pour toute défense, le PQ bafouille aujourd’hui que ces discussions avec le consulat « ne constituaient pas des démarches officielles ». N’insultez pas notre intelligence en jouant sur les mots ! Plus tôt cette semaine, la négation véhémente de PSPP de ces mêmes faits, ajoutée à son indignation vertueuse et moralisatrice, relève d’une duplicité révoltante. Il a catégoriquement démenti le tout, allant même jusqu’à accuser les autres partis qui le questionnaient sur ce sujet de donner dans la « désinformation » ! Quant aux médias qui le couvrent, il leur reproche de « distortionner » ses propos. C’est vraiment le comble de la fourberie. Comploter en secret avec Trump, qui, c’est public, on le sait, veut annexer le Canada et lui livre bataille par toute la force de son économie, frôle la traîtrise. De surcroît, l’ingérence américaine dans nos élections plane sur la campagne. Un rapport d’un groupe de réflexion américain (Defense Analyses and Research Corporation) admet clairement qu’il faut apporter un « soutien clandestin au PQ » pour déstabiliser le gouvernement canadien. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, la grande politicologue experte en gouvernements autoritaires, ainsi que de nombreux experts partout dans le monde, ne cessent de mettre en garde le Canada : la Maison-Blanche de Trump veut aider les mouvements séparatistes afin de fragmenter le territoire canadien. Ainsi morcelé, le Canada sera plus facile à absorber ou à subjuguer. Plus facile à absorber et à subjuguer ! Et PSPP — cela en ferait presque pitié si ce n’était aussi dangereux — qui pense renforcer le Québec en le séparant du Canada ? Il ne ferait que mieux l’offrir, tout chaud sur un plateau, prêt à être dévoré par l’Ogre américain, qui se fout, lui, du français, de la culture québécoise, comme il se fiche des Latinos sur son sol ! Si les Américains n’ont aucun respect pour la culture de leurs propres citoyens, comment espérer qu’ils en aient pour celle des étrangers ? PSPP, non seulement vous mentez, mais vous êtes trop naïf et irresponsable pour diriger la province, étant incapable de jauger les dangers visibles aux yeux de tous. Québécois, voulez-vous d’un PM comme ça ? #polqc #Qc2026

LE PQ VOULAIT UNE RENCONTRE AVEC L’ADMINISTRATION TRUMP Plus tôt cette semaine, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon était catégorique : ni lui ni personne au Parti québécois n’avait cherché à rencontrer l’administration Trump. Ses mots : « aucun contact, aucune tentative » pour rencontrer le gouvernement de Donald Trump. Or, selon le Département d’État américain, le PQ avait cherché à obtenir une rencontre avec des responsables du gouvernement américain à Washington — donc avec des représentants de l’administration Trump. Autrement dit, d’un côté, PSPP affirme qu’il n’y a eu aucun contact, aucune tentative avec l’administration Trump. De l’autre, le gouvernement américain de Donald Trump dit qu’une rencontre avait été recherchée. Deux versions qui ne concordent pas. À deux jours du vote, la question est simple : qui dit vrai sur les démarches du PQ auprès de l’administration Trump? Les Québécois ont droit à une réponse claire. montrealgazette.com/quebec-e…

This seems a bit silly and hyperbolic. As a former cabinet minister you should be aware that foreign leaders need to request permission to use Canadian airspace. The choice is between granting and refusing permission. No scrambling of jets involved. Rules: international.gc.ca/protocol…

A spectacular piece of deep investigative work by @CarrieTait Grant Robertson and @nvanderklippe. Although “Alberta separatists” aren’t and never will be a danger, this shows just how serious about conquering former allies the Trump admin is, and how these fifth columnists work

“If Canada wants to insert itself and create a new precedent that you're going to participate in our electoral politics... I would suggest that you seriously consider whether that is the best way to try to achieve your objectives in the United States of America” Boot Hoekstra.

Today the Globe and Mail reports about American political operatives involving themselves in Alberta's referendum. This is, of course, wholly inappropriate. I want to provide some context to any American who sees an "opportunity": - This support level is not much changed over the last 40 years. - Polling shows American states with similar levels of stated separatist support. Now, do I believe California is about to separate? Of course not. What I believe is support for separatism is often a proxy for debates within a country. There are true separatists of course - in Alberta AND California - but mostly, it is how people choose to express their frustration with a country. But within a country is the key words. Americans should not engage themselves in the Alberta referendum. It would be no more appropriate than - I am sure you would agree - Canadians lending support to California secessionists. Canada and the United States have been great allies and close friends and I do not want to brush all Americans - or even all Americans in the U.S. administration - with the same brush. Political operatives routinely work on and consult with elections on both sides of the border. But this is existential, this is about something core, and this is our discussion - not one that should involve anyone from the United States.

A Michigan delegation travelled to Calgary to sell separatists on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote – and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation. For David Parker, an organizer for Alberta separation, the software was the path to victory – one that ultimately resulted in a massive privacy breach involving the sensitive personal data of nearly three million Albertans. But Parker’s embrace of the Michigan delegation is evidence of a pattern: separatist factions in Alberta eager to engage the U.S. in their plans for secession, and American actors willing to assist, either privately or openly. Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta’s pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

True. People who have really been hard done by as Canadians. The indignity and misery of being Albertans in Canada, enjoying one of the highest standards of living on Earth. Throw off the chains of oppression!

So the news today is that both the Alberta separatists and the Quebec separatists have been holding (or seeking) meetings with the Trump administration — colluding with a foreign power in the service of its ambition to break up the country and absorb it piece by piece. For how long are we going to continue to treat this as a legitimate political “option”?
