@mxhdroom Yes, clearly an independent state would not be viable. But proposing to become the 51st state would be a very hard sell, so they propose the fiction of independence instead. What makes me think this is serious is Bessent's statement. Then everything else, the skulduggery, and yes, Smith's trips to Mar-A-Lago, take on a much more sinister aspect.

Thinking about the Alberta separatists, I have come to realize something surprising.It is simply not credible that high-ranking US officials would have discussed such matters with, and much less offered an astronomical sum of money to this merry gang.
Assuming such talks have taken place--and I think we must--they cannot have been with anyone else but Alberta's governing United Cconservative Party. (4/6)

Thinking about the Alberta separatists, I have come to realize something surprising.Those meetings seem to be real, as the Secretary of the Treasury no less is on record as supporting the independence of Alberta and subsequent annexation as the 51st state. (3/6)

Thinking about the Alberta separatists, I have come to realize something surprising.This unlikely gang claims to have conferred in a top secret facility in Washington with high-ranking US officials.

1. A group of separatists led by one Mitch Sylvestre has applied to hold a referendum on Alberta separation from Canada. Sylvestre along with dodgy lawyer Jeffrey Rath and antivax doctor Dennis Modry and others comprise an outfit called the Alberta Prosperity Project, which defines itself as a "non-profit educational project".
