Condolences to all the comrades trapped inside the borders with this madman. We're all dealing with his shit too, but at least we can feel relatively safe in our own homes (for now).
Regardless of whether or not these particular comments are US intelligence, I am 100% convinced that Trump is going to try and make Alberta the Canadian Donbas.
They'll do their little Wexit vote thing and they'll lose, but there will be a massive amount of disinfo in all of the places you'd expect saying it was rigged, and they'll just escalate from there.

If you'd have told me even 4 months that there was a slight chance to beat PP, I'd have been ecstatic. I hope that his career (and the political feasibility of faschy candidates like him) implodes after tonight.
You're right about this - as a US / Canadian dual citizen, getting a new citizenship is quite an ordeal and not everyone who applies is approved.

We need to support this company as much as possible. If I recall, they also had amazingly worker-friendly policies during the height of COVID. They are a Canadian gem that really needs to be protected with our support. Go treat yourself to some ice cream this weekend!
I'm not saying that governments are the most trustworthy institutions in the world, but as someone who tried to be an early adopter of blockchain from both a tech and a financial perspective, I immediately assume that anything that has the word "crypto" in it is deeply flawed and inherently untrustworthy.
