No wonder the people of Ottawa kicked this guy into the unemployment line. For 3 weeks the capital was occupied. Citizens were threatened. Businesses were forced to shut from harassment. Poilievre brought the donuts. Canada is dealing with threat from Trump while Poilievre whines about the convoy.

What if Alberta really did vote to separate?
An independent Alberta would be a landlocked, oil-exporting nation. It would have to enter into long and painful negotiations with Canada and the U.S. over every aspect of its new status.
