I was relieved that the CPC didn’t form government, but we’re still in a lot of danger. Spend any time on X and you can see a full court press going on with propaganda to push Alberta separatism. The same stuff is going on now in Alberta that took place in Crimea prior to 2014, and the online media ecosystem is American. I see a lot of people stating Alberta couldn’t separate because of the treaties, but when a powerful country decides they don’t care about the laws, the courts aren’t going to save you.
Bernier is awful, but a win would likely result in the PPC gaining strength in the next election, which would pull far right voters away from the CPC and weaken them while keeping the far right on the fringes. That sounds good to me. I don’t think it’s at all likely that he’ll run against Poilievre and win, but it would be fine by me.
