So are they going to be treated like the traitors they are or are we going to do a US and stop at strong words?

[–] CanadaPlus 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I don't know, but the fact they're a minority of just one province makes me less worried. MAGA is national and so has real teeth.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

By every definition of the word yes.

"BC Premier Calls Out Treasonous Activity of Alberta Separatists"

[–] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Send them to the oubliette! May they never see the light of day, the treasonous dogs!

You gotta love the names of traitor groups like these. It's the same in the US, and it's always something super duper positive, something that sounds like wisdom, but it's always a shiny turd

Yes, but how many of our politicians have been willing to say that directly so far?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why does nobody care that the PC leader for years, and even recently, was a US citizen?

The same fucking loser who faked being an insurance broker, that's even lower than real estate agent.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Some cared, I sure did.

I think most Canadians were in denial about the USA being our enemy or that the CPC were turning into MAGA loyalists at the time he was in charge on that party.

I feel like this should be considered an act of war by the United States

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

It absolutely is. Time to put them on trial!

[–] BC_viper@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

And there is only one answer to a traitor.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

To the gallows, as per Canadian law.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 days ago (4 children)

That's only in the military, it's just a life sentence in civilian court.

I live a block away from the tavern where the trial of the bloody assize was held. Traitors friendly to the US in 1814 were put on trial, then brought to Burlington to be fitted for custom hemp neckties. Then, their heads were cut off and placed on pikes and paraded around Ontario villages. We didn't have a traitor problem since then.

These cosplay cowboys are all foreign agents and if they were supported by China everyone would be freaking out.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why do you think Canadians have a worse view of China than America?

We're raised hating the US, China is just an afterthought.

[–] FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We are not raised hating the US that is ridiculous. We might come to despise certain administrations but we don't hate the majority of Americans, just a sorry stupid few.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Just the ones led by Democrats and Republicans right?

Or are you a Zoomer? Surprisingly they seemed to like the Americans.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

In theory, someone could kill the king and their lawyer could argue it isn't high treason because the law specifies HER majesty. I'm pretty sure they'd still be convicted of murder though.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Thanks for the info.

[–] BC_viper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

My life sentence for them would be short. Because a bullet would enter them fast.

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Wait I thought we put them to the geese? Maybe let's do both to be sure.

[–] fourish@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Yes. Obviously.

Albertans need to make it personally painful for any politicians that do this.

[–] podian@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

No shade to Eby but it doesn't take a lawyer to understand that water is wet.

Since he's a lawyer though, he should know there's more than enough to convict them of attempted treason, conspiracy, or any other inchoate crime thereof. Unfortunately it looks like neither provincial nor federal prosecutors will go after them for it.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Except water isn’t wet, it makes other things wet. Apparently you do need a lawyer.

[–] CanadaPlus -1 points 2 days ago

So is it itself dry, then?

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Large scale media has studiously avoided saying 'treason', so having a political leader say it is helpful.
