So if speration, or talking about it is treason, why isn't quebec talked about? Two failed referendums and a possible third on the way, and it's nothing but crickets... also, if it did happen, who do you honestly think quebec would buddy up to to get security?

Separatism isn't inherently treason. Conspiring with foreign actors to conduct acts that undermine the sovereignty of Canada while promote the interests of that foreign actor(s) is.

Especially when the said foreign actor has expressed intentions to ANNEX US.

At least Russia had the decency to put a transparently thin veneer of subtlety and justification when they did it to all their neighbors. It was all lies, it was all paper thin, but at least they, y'know, tried. I respect the effort put into the hustle.

Trump is just like "yeah whatever they can't stop us, we'll take whatever we want if we want to."

The fucking disguises have been dropped and the gloves are off, time to wake up and start paying attention before our entire planet is stolen from us by despicable, hateful monsters who want to destroy it and then fuck off to Mars and leave us all to die.

It's not the separation talk itself that's the problem, it's the meeting with US officials.

Also, what someone may have gotten away with in the past has absolutely no relevance to what people should be getting away with today.

Maple MAGA are not welcome and are in no way the same as quebec. Quebec is not conspiring to devide our state up just to join a predatory state, something that can now be proven to be happening in Alberta, just move to America loser.

Quebec never talked to the USA about being a state.

Maybe you need to see this in crayon to understand it, but the plan is to make Alberta into North Montana.

Gotta love the absolute animosity with internet warriors. How about understanding the issues that people across Canada have due to their individual provincial stupidity. Living in quebec is one of, if not the worst of the provinces, due to ridiculous and unnecessary problems, like a language police, or the countries highest tax rates and even better yet the constant threat of speration, which I might add, hurt Quebecs industrial sector in irreversible ways. When it had its last referendum, a large portion of business left for ontario and other provinces. As a province with a massive abundance of natural resources available, it is a huge problem for the people who live there because quebec can't defend them selves and would be invaded. If your first conclusion is that people are Maga or left, you should probably take a minute before responding. Political affiliation isn't the question, the well-being of the people living there is.
