“It is worse than a #secessionist agenda, it is an agenda to make #Canada a dysfunctional confederacy of selfish, inward-looking, disaggregated #provinces.” open.substack.com/pub/emmettma...

Danielle Smith is no separatist; she's much, much worse

In a televised address last night Danielle Smith launched a xenophobic assault on immigration and proposed a set of referendum questions for next Fall advocating a constitutional agenda that would reduce Canada to a rump of pathetic, disaggregated fiefdoms.

There will also be rising revolutionary factions, eg #groyper, #communist, #indigenous, #secessionist, #feminist, and religiously motivated by #Zionism, #Islam, #Catholic or #evangelicals. Plus #racialized groups. And rising ideologies like #broligarch #Transhumanism seeking #humanextinction etc

2060:
Secessionists take control of the state legislature and conduct a special election. Cryosaga financially supports #secessionist activities as an opportunity to increase export markets.
After the state is overthrown, Russia sues for peace. Alaska negotiates a treaty without consulting with the US, which accuses the new government of high #treason. However, the U.S., still recovering from the economic impacts of the Great Pacific War, is unable to stop it. https://a.co/d/aGCxatK

For decades, #Somaliland has been labeled “#secessionist.” This #analysis argues the label rests not on law, but on a 1991 institutional failure—when the @_AfricanUnion misapplied #TerritorialIntegrity amid #Somalia’s collapse, influenced by unresolved #ConflictsOfInterest inside its own Secretariat.

While #Khalistan #separatists among #Sikh diaspora in #Canada try to export #secessionist ideology to #India, #Akali Sikhs are joining the party of #IndiraGandhi who launched #OperationBlueStar to flush Khalistani terrorists out of #GoldenTemple and was subsequently assassinated by her own Sikh bodyguards 40 years ago.

Rightful slap in the face of foreign #Khalistani elements

The crux of the problem is that the #Khalistan #secessionist movement is NOT indigenous, but exported mainly from #Canada by the #Sikh diaspora who have found refuge in the liberal #Canadian society.

Majority of #Sikhs in #India do not support this movement, which was actually given oxygen by India's archenemy #Pakistan in the 1970-80s.

The movement died down in the late 1980s but has suddenly resurfaced.

The spectacular breakdown in bilateral relations between #Canada and #India comes at a time when the West see India as a critical counterweight to #China in the #IndoPacific.

"It’s not that transnational repression, in which governments reach beyond their borders to try to silence dissidents and which watchdog groups say is on the rise, hasn’t occurred in democracies"

The dispute began with the killing of India-born Canadian citizen #Nijjar, a #Khalistan #secessionist

Canada-India relations are at a new low. Why China could be the winner.

The breakdown in India-Canada ties could force western allies into a difficult balancing act in Asia.

#Texas #wildfires live updates: Huge blaze grows to 500,000 acres, forcing evacuations and cutting off power

The fires have led to the shutdown and evacuation of the nuclear weapons facility at Pantex out of “an abundance of caution.”

I wonder if #secessionist Governor Abbott will be asking for emergency relief funds from the US Federal Government he despises?
