I agree, 20% is a lot. That’s why the issues raised by the separatist side need to be addressed, and not just dismissed. Justin Trudeau wouldn’t give Alberta the time of day. Hopefully, Carney will be better.

I agree with all that. I haven’t been paying too much attention. Has separatist feeling been increasing? My feeling (based on nothing) was that it was static around 20%.

I’m also the only one that actually bothered to include my source. There’s always multiple ways to compare. I would say both Canada and USA have a debt problem. Freeland resigned because the budget came in with a $50+BILLION dollar deficit, Carney’s last number was over $70B. (I didn’t look it up, the numbers may be a bit off)

If you lookup debt as a percentage of gdp

USA - 88.454%

Canada - 136%

If you compare debt by capita:

USA - $75.8K per person

Canada - $76.4K per person

I’m using numbers from here:

Which source is telling you USA debt is 30 times greater?

You do realize Canada’s debt is higher than USA, right?

EDIT: Always worthwhile getting downvoted but no evidence to the contrary. Typical.

Okay, fair enough. But do you think something like this would convince someone not already committed to secession? I can see how it would be appealing to support a narrative someone already has, but do you think it actually convinces people to change their mind on the issue?

A bunch of YouTube channels that no one watches anyway. Nothing burger.

This is just madness. What the hell is Newsom thinking/drinking?
