So there are lots of Conservative Albertans that are Big Mad about the Coastal First Nations acting as though they have "a veto”.

This article is absolute insanity. The only way I can describe it is being from a Rabidly anti-Canadian American.
And in an overall tone of disrespect for the rule of law, autonomy, democracy, or progressive thought.
"In a strategy of the retrenchment, the dismemberment of Canada becomes a wise decision. Rather than allowing it to continue down a path of anti-American antagonism, the United States could support the Alberta and Quebec separatist movements. A successful secession by Alberta alone would cripple the federal fisc, and drive separatism in other regions due to the resultant decline in their equalization payments which comprises such a substantial part of their provincial budgets. In the end, British Columbia and a unified Maritime province would be admitted to the Union as Democratic states while Alberta and Saskatchewan would be admitted as Republican states; ensuring continued balance in the US Senate.
The rump of Canada, left with only one or two provinces, would finally be able to revise its constitution with ease. Under US pressure, the rump could become a freely associated state similar to Palau, with a new constitution reordering society along American lines. In time, perhaps it too could be annexed.”

I also have been thinking about this connection, it is so damn obvious, but no one in the media is talking about it.
The rise of authoritarianism, and the deep connection to the oil industry.
It has been obvious to anyone willing to stop for a moment and think... but #TheAmericanFascist, in his infinite wisdom and/or senility, has thrown down the veil.
#Venezuela is about access to #Oil in South America.
#Greenland is about access to Oil and Minerals in the #Arctic.
#Alberta Separatism is about access to Oil and Gas in #Canada.
Deposing the Iranian Regime is access to Oil and Gas in the Middle East. (Get #Iran, and you might get #Iraq too)
And lets not forget #Russia... fighting the #RussiaUkraineWar funded by their oil reserves and all about returning to an old empire in oil-rich Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
So is the fight to end fossil fuel use in order to preserve a liveable, recognizable planet, also a fight against authoritarianism and fascism?
You're damn right it is.
