Amid turmoil over tariffs and the relationship with the United States, Canada is facing challenges from within. Conservative Danielle Smith, the premier of Alberta, says she will hold a referendum on provincial separation in 2026 if citizens gather the required signatures on a petition. While Smith says she isn't herself supportive of Albertan separation, her government last week introduced legislation making it easier for a referendum to happen. In her address, Smith claimed that Liberal rule has turned Canada into an international laughing stock. First Nations leaders have spoken out against the separation movement, saying Alberta doesn't have the authority to negate treaties that predate the province. Here's more from @GlobalNews.

Global News · Danielle Smith promises Alberta separation referendum if signatures warrantBy The Canadian Press

On Monday, Western Canada Select oil prices dropped to US$44.78/barrel, the lowest price it has seen since January 2021. Over the weekend OPEC announced it would increase output by 400,000 barrels per day. Sustained low prices will shut down the Alberta oil sands and dramatically reduces the royalties the Alberta government receives.

🤔 Let me understand this:
You're sentenced for over a year for defending your land against pollution, but if you're white you are allowed to spend three weeks terrorizing citizens of our national capitol, urinate on a veteran's memorial, and threaten to overthrow the government and there are no legal consequences.

One loss that will happen is stream costs to foreign markets will increase.

Netflix says it doesn't need a fair tax in Canada, because it produces 10% of North American productions in Canada.

Leaving Canadian production because of Trump, will mean significant taxes on Netflix and other US streamers, to replace productions lost to tarrifs.

Start cancelling US streamers now to prepare. Tell them why. Trump.

Before the Trump Coup exposed billionaire plans for world fascism, Australian Labour was supposed to lose this election.

Trump and Elon have awakened rhe world.

As Lincoln said defeating the slavers, government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Shall not Perish.

They are not done counting, this is a tidal wave, an electoral tsunami.

Our country’s trade and security policies have been built on the premise of American sanity. That assumption, it turned out, was a mistake,” #CanPoli

The Atlantic · Canadians Are Seriously Worried About War With the U.S.By Stephen Marche

I am not one to boost up military stuff. As a planet we need to stop fighting wars. But that said, in an era where the USA is no longer a reliable partner and Canada might need to go its own way, the advent of remote controlled drones means we can have a lot more independence for our own defence like these small marine drones. Drone warfare is a fraction of the price of big complex machines, on air, land, or sea.
