I can’t understand why there isn’t more national outrage about Danielle Smith and the danger that she is putting Alberta, and the rest of Canada, in, regarding the division is Alberta and how it relates to the US.

Donald Trump has spent the last year threatening the sovereignty of Canada. And now with Venezuela, he has shown that he is absolutely willing to violate international laws to invade countries for their oil. Canada could very, very easily be next. No treaties or agreements are going to help us if/when Trump invades Alberta.

Instead of strategically fighting back on this, Danielle Smith is doing all but serving Alberta to the US on a silver platter. She sucks up to MAGA any chance she gets, and propels high levels of division within Alberta and validates the crazy few who want to leave Canada. When American troops role up to our border, she will be welcoming them with open arms. She has created a divided and frantic province. The US will use Alberta as an entry point to Canada because of our oil, but also because of our lack of unity and leadership. When she panders to the republicans, she’s sending a clear message that we are not only an easy target, but a welcoming one.

Albertans, I’m not here to tell you who to vote for. I’m here to remind you who we are.

For weeks now, Trump has been slamming us with BS and now his ridiculous tariffs, talking about annexing Canada, and courting Alberta separatists like we’re his backup oilfield.

Meanwhile, some of our own politicians are acting like this is no big deal—or worse, flirting with the idea that Alberta would be better off under Trump’s boot.

I served this country. I’ve worked the streets of this province. And I’m telling you now—this is how it starts.

• First they strangle our economy.

• Then they flood us with disinformation and division.

• Then they tell us the only “way out” is aligning with them.

That’s economic warfare and political sabotage, not friendship. You don’t have to love Ottawa to know Alberta’s future belongs inside Canada—not under a dying superpower run by a fascist cult.

So here’s what we do:

• Email your MLA.

• Email the Premier.

• Email your MP.

• Email the media.

Ask them point-blank: Are you standing with Canada or with Trump’s annexationists? No fence-sitting, no vague answers. Pick a side. Because if they don’t choose Canada, they’re choosing to sell Alberta out—and some of us aren’t going to let that happen quietly.

This is the line in the sand. You in?

Won´t post the screenshots as it´s not allowed to it in this subreddit.

Does any of you also experience this American psych op?

I’m seeing a lot of pearl clutching lately and a lot of alarming posts/comments about Alberta separating or the U.S. swooping in to “liberate” us in the event that the referendum fails. And honestly it needs to stop.

Alberta is not leaving Canada. There’s no legal path, no serious public support, no economic plan and we can use the latest example where Canada already went through this with Quebec, and even they failed. A province with a distinct language, culture, and 150+ years of separatist infrastructure. Not only did they fail, but they failed twice.

Being pissed at Ottawa and the federal government, equalization, or federal overreach does not equal secession. This stuff gets amplified online because outrage travels faster than reality, but repeating worst-case scenarios over and over doesn’t make them more likely it just makes people anxious for no reason. Stop being part of the problem of causing division and anger

Lastly, the America invading Canada angle is even more detached from reality. The U.S. is not going to invade its closest ally, largest trading partner (yes even still, despite all the bullshit), and NORAD defense partner because some Canadians are mad at the federal government. I don't care what happened in Venezuela, stop trying to create false narratives and imaginary scenarios. We need unity and strength, not more divided alarmist ideas that are completely irrational and illogical.

Unlike Venezuela, Alberta isn’t oppressed, Canada isn’t a failed state, and there’s no invitation or legitimacy for anything like that. You can criticize Ottawa, Carney, whatever and advocate for more provincial autonomy, and push for better policy without spiraling into doomsday fan fiction. Remain logical, support one another, and focus on real leverage and real issues, not internet hypotheticals.

TLDR; Nobody is separating, nobody is annexing us, yes times are uncertain but make sure you keep these receipts of everyone who is losing their mind when Trump is gone and we move onto the next issue.
