    US also has a massive and unsustainable debt level. Bessant pretended the US will never default this week. The alternative is repaying all or most of it. That burden would get spread to the new colonists.

    US spends an extra 5% of GDP on healthcare than Canada. Overpaying for drugs and health workers is the difference. Average “income+insurance taxes” have to go up 5% points.

    The story that Canada/Alberta would not have to pay for military anymore is BS. It would pay even more. Higher taxes or debt.

    Zionist first influence in Canada is already high, but in US, it is only election determining outcome.

    Alberta oil industry is hugely harmed by losing access to the world and Canada other than its captured US refineries. Price discount compared to an independent unified Canada.

      That last one is one that the maple MAGATs doing all of this bullshit to claim the oil benefits should pay special attention to and see what is happening to their counter part’s industries in the US failing under tariffs against the rest of the world.

      Canada has a fantastic opportunity right now to become a very big super power economy to fill in where the US is falling because of this Tariff stupidity. Canada would loose out on strategy the moment they become the US.

      There was a big meeting of the premieres over the weekend discussing pipeline laying to help Canada become a compatible supplier to the world. Forget about the US for now. They are going into depression. Sad but this was entirely avoidable and Canada needs to call it for what it is and just look after Canada.

      This is the way.
