Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“Very, very senior” officials in the Trump administration have had secret meetings with far-right Canadian separatists trying to shake the foundations of the country. The covert meetings between high-ranking U.S. officials and the Alberta Prosperity Project come as a widening rift appears between Canadian leadership and the White House. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney used a speech in Davos, Switzerland, last week to call out President Trump for creating a “rupture” in the existing world order.

What's it going to take for Canada to start you know viewing this as treason from certain people? Cuz it's absolutely treason.

Yup, needs to be shut down and them charged, and then you'll see a US temper tantrum, which just proves what they were up to.

Trump will offer asylum of course. He will use it to prove that Canada is abusing its citizens and then have them condemned by his board of peace.

He will allow immigration like with South Africa under the guise that Canada is woke and punishes its citizens who love God.

I live in the treasonous province and I'll tell you most people in Edmonton at least are real Canadians and not fascists.

The fairly luke-warm 'stay' petition, rabid 'leave' petitions, and generally failing recall attempts, seem to paint a slightly more muddled picture.

At least BC's premier is openly using the Treason word for this shit.

Any petition aimed at retaining the status quo will have a lukewarm response.

I wouldn’t call that “Luke warm” at all. It was a massive amount of people in a relatively short window of time.

If Canada takes a page out of America's book then there could be an actual violent insurrection and masked federal agents executing Canadians and they still won't view it as treason.
