Halloween 2026’s scariest moment will be coming to terms with the reality of Canada’s disparate separatist movements, and to what extent they serve American interests at the expense of Canada’s very existence.
Tomorrow, Quebec will decide between five parties — two separatist, one agnostic, one afraid of its own shadow on the question, and one that merely believes in the decentralisation of powers. The results, then, should not be any great surprise, given the lack of any candidate daring to be seen near a maple leaf in public.
Two weeks later, Alberta’s 10-part referendum on undermining the Canadian experiment will also present their results, and if there is anything to learn from David Cameron’s Brexit referendum, that is not a tool one can use to make a pesky issue disappear.
The Globe and Mail has done something few traditional media outlets still do: actual journalism, digging into the traitorous connections between the MAGA machine and Alberta’s separatists, stating plainly:
The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province’s resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.
Donald Trump has said since being returning to the presidency a year and a half ago that he wants Canada to be the 51st state. He has described the Donroe doctrine in which the United States are the masters of the western hemisphere, with all countries on the American continent being subject to the whims of the country that takes that name for itself.
It is not a coincidence that well-funded, effective separation campaigns have risen in Canada with such fervour and haste during this period. Breaking up Canada into bite-size chunks is the most effective way of controlling our country, our people, and our massive resources.
Albertan separatists, as the Globe tells us, are offering our resources, our fresh water, direct access to Alaska, and an end to Canada’s effective sovereignty on a silver platter to the Americans. That is not something one does if they are seeking autonomy.
The separatist movement in Alberta has no desire to be an independent country. They are only barely pretending that that is what it is about. Their offer to the Americans includes trading Albertans’ Canadian-dollar holdings into American dollars at par in exchange for royalties on their resources.
If the Trump regime had designed the separatist movement, it would not look any different — buy off the people, eliminate their autonomy, steal their resources, and use it all to unite the United States with their one state on the continent that is not physically connected. Better, still, they do not even need to make it an official state in the union, lest they have to add a star to their flag. One can imagine them offering ‘associate’ statehood to Alberta after learning of the term from the Europeans.
Which brings us back to Quebec, whose generations-old separatist movement suddenly has new life breathed into it.
The Parti Québecois, which has already dragged the province through two divisive and destructive referenda on separation, is poised to win tomorrow’s election on a promise of a third.
Québec Solidaire, the election’s only progressive option, focused on dragging the province kicking and screaming back to the strong social support networks and environmental action also names independence as one of its top five priorities, though to their credit they are willing to say so in English. The party is, as a result, unsupportable and misnamed — it should rightly be called Québec Solitaire.
The CAQ, who have been in power for the past eight years, operated on the philosophy that separatists and federalists could work together to govern the province by ignoring the issue and just working on ‘autonomy’ as if that means something different.
The Quebec Liberal Party lacks any courage of their convictions, consistently operating as apologetic rather than principled federalists. Their commitment to ‘regain Quebec’s seat at the Canadian table’ is the 64th of 91 items on their list of engagements, with this comprehensive list of hard-hitting federalist priorities:
Enter into formal interprovincial trade and reciprocity agreements with Ontario, and conduct economic missions to Ontario, the West, and the East to attract investment in our growth sectors.
Launch a strategy to promote the French-speaking economy through targeted trade missions and partnerships with French-speaking economic hubs, so that Canadian businesses can access these markets with Quebec as a partner.
Reinstate the joint Quebec-Ontario cabinet meetings, with the approval of the Ontario government.
Advocate for the Defense, Security, and Resilience Bank to be established in Montreal.
Reduce interprovincial barriers, facilitate labor mobility, develop east-west supply chains, and sign reciprocal agreements to be collectively stronger in the face of trade challenges.
The nascent Conservative Party of Quebec sees all the challenges facing Canadian unity and names the problem: centralisation, committing to an autonomous province.
The winner of a debate focused around the degree rather than the fact of independence is not Quebeckers — it is those who benefit from a weakened Canada.
Canadians are by and large united in their opposition to American dominance and incursion into our affairs and our sovereignty. The premier of Alberta and all of the parties in Quebec, however, have missed the memo.
Whatever the results of this month’s Alberta referendum and tomorrow’s Quebec election, the Donroe doctrine is alive and well. It is attacking Canada by undermining its unity and its cohesion, and Alberta and Quebec’s leaders are falling for it hook, line, and sinker, accepting implicit and explicit support from the American dictator and the institutions backing his vision for dominance over the western hemisphere.
