Alberta separatists spend more time producing weird AI videos than offering thoughtful, detailed answers to dozens of serious questions, like:

- How does a landlocked statelet get coastal pipelines built?

- How would Alberta negotiate a favourable separation agreement on everything from debt allocation to Canadian market access when it would require ratification by Parliament, and the nine other provinces?

- If Canada is divisible, then why isn't Alberta? How would an Alberta statelet deal with partition by Edmonton, Calgary, and 48 First Nations when they insist on remaining part of Canada? Send in nonexistent troops?

- When First Nations refuse to re-assign their Treaty relationships to a separate Alberta, how will you deal with dozens of blockades on highways and railways, and the end of indigenous cooperation with the energy industry?

- Would Alberta freeload off Canada for its national defence? If not, how would it finance a $25 billion military (at NATO's 5% / GDP benchmark?)

- How many hundreds of billions of dollars will it cost Alberta taxpayers to buy the 12% of the province's landmass owned by the Government of Canada?

- How would years of protracted negotiations, or unilateral declaration of independence, maintain rather than destroy investor confidence?

- Roughly half of Albertans indicate in polls that they would leave a separate Alberta. What impact would this have on the tax base, labour market, housing market, etc., and what's your contingency plan for massive emigration?

- Would the Republic of Alberta use the Canadian currency, with zero input in Canadian monetary policy?

- What happens when Alberta suddenly loses largely tariff free access to 55 countries around the world, including the United States?

- How do Albertans travel internationally when a separate Alberta has no standing in the International Air Transport Association's Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreements?

- The ultimate bosses of separatism (Sylvester and Rath) say that the roughly half of Albertans born outside the province will not be eligible for Alberta citizenship. Will they be subject to deportation? Or will they graciously be allowed to stay indefinitely as guest workers?

There are hundreds of questions like these that the separatists have made no serious effort to answer.

But by all means, keep on making wacky videos. Doing so shows everyone how profoundly unserious the Alberta separatist movement is.

@ZacharyKane19 @politico Or which stocks to buy before announcing.

@visegrad24 Norway will probably have to pay the price for Sorloth not converting that opportunity to a goal. He should have passed to Haaland.

@NotDrAbeFroman @fordnation @grok Statistically this option looks even better:
At 10km/h >> 99% survival.

@nytimes @TheAthleticFC Just wondering if Vancouver had won would they have been invited to the WH? Probably not, like Raptors in 2019.

@BBCWorld I stand with Heraskevych.

@SimuLiu @GordonGChang Have you also received at least $6m tax money from that government, or been granted the prerogative of blatantly flouting its nationality law? don't think in their eyes you are worth it. Why furious?

@ianbremmer The "workers of the world, unite!" story is apt.

@sandiegofc The off key saxophone performance of Canada's national anthem and no lead performers at all for America's don't seem to bode well for the home team.

@OrestocksNews Siding with Pala. The CEO should be ousted.

Just finished Annie Ernaux’s A Man’s Place and was struck by how much her father reminded me of mine. Love this deeply touching line:
His greatest satisfaction, possibly even the raison d'etre of his existence, was the fact that i belonged to the world which had scorned him.

@ianbremmer @killerdeals24 By the criteria, Cuomo seems closer than Mamdani.

@tedcruz Nothing odd at all. He also defended Russia ferociously.
