So Charles is fair game?

I was going to comment something similar. The law is still worded as "her majesty" when we now have a male monarch?

Do yourself a favor and execute your traitors before they become president

fr. look at your neighbors down south and ask yourselves if this is what you want. pro-tip: you fuckin' don't

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I absolutely agree. I was just joking about the specific verbiage in that law because it was written for Elizabeth.

So... not treason?

Whatever the legal definition, this guy should go straight to Yale

How is this not treason? Are you American?

I ask because even the most left leaning of you all keep making light of this shit and it's actually driving me crazy. I have American coworkers making 51st state jokes and it's actually making me hate all of you

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Did you read the definition of treason? I don't see where they intersect

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Does separation (possibly via a referendum) fall into any of these cases?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Not really, or at least not entirely. Here's a link that goes into some detail. It basically comes down to: referendums are fine and legal; secession has to be agreed to by the area leaving and the country as a whole; and subgroups of the region seceeding likely have the option to not seceed depending on their legal status. The Supreme Court has already determined that unilateral declarations of independence are unconstitutional in Canada, and I suspect the notwithstanding clause won't apply, either.

Isn't inciting an insurrection in another country an act of war too? Hard to keep track of what are laws and what are just suggestions now.

[-] [email protected] 54 points 1 day ago

yeah that's treason...

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

This is fucking terrifying.

We need to deal with these people yesterday.

Wonder how much Danielle was getting paid? Time to drain the UCP swamp Alberta.

I say this as an Albertan.

I know we're not supposed to judge a book by its cover but this guy looks like the kind of pedo grifter the regime is absolutely packed with

Has any of this been verified?

“We talked about a $500 million transition loan that we would only draw down on as necessary as we work with the U.S. to transition from a province to a country,” said Modry. He also claimed that they discussed a plan to prop up Alberta’s currency where “the U.S. agrees to take every Alberta citizen’s Canadian dollar and then exchange it for one U.S. dollar.”

“Alberta, of course, can provide energy security,” he said. “It can also provide water security, agricultural security, forestry security, metal security, coal security, plus an industrious workforce. So there is tremendous benefit to the U.S., to work with us.”

I wasn't able to find any 3rd party sources verifying this.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That's my issue and even after a couple of days no other source had picked up the story.
