    It’s not the rage at all. A minority of misinformed people in Alberta and an even smaller percentage in BC and Saskatchewan are back on their hoser soapboxes.

    The people against it are very against it. But whatever, it’s not going to happen without violence, as most of the lands don’t belong to the provinces, it’s mostly treaty or crown, and it triggers some very high feelings.

      The way I see it orchestrated by Trump is if the tariffs stay on manufacturing many provinces will be wiped out. Carney will then provide a bailout using funds from Alberta, whose exports will increase due to a devalued Canadian dollar and a 2.5x lower tariff on their higher margin product.
