Of course, the person that immediately springs to mind is Danielle Smith, who's been pleading on US media for Trump to intervene in our federal elections process.
This, of course, is unacceptable, and continues a fine Albertan (and increasingly American) tradition of "Shoot First...", or "Easier to ask for forgiveness...". On her knees in Mar-A-Lago. This is the kindest way to frame it. In any other terms it would be called Treason, but Alberta's long been ahead of the curve in "Hypernormalisation" - excusing and rationalizing corruption and abuse when done by it's elected leaders.
Her endorsement of Pierre Poilievre should be taken as an endorsement of Mark Carny, Poilievre, conspicuously silent since Trudeau stepped down, the villain has lost his nemesis, his semi-earnest laughable attempts to distance himself from Trump (and Trump's attempts to indirectly praise him by saying he "gets along with liberals" - counting on his reviled Northern reputation to steer voters into Poilievre's camp).
Then there's the newspapers, the Edmonton Urinal and Democracy Imperilled, the Irrational Post, all of which are majority owned by US interests and have increasingly started to throw shade on Carny's reputation, to rationalize Smith's decisions to campaign for Canada in the US, to slowly (they hope) bring people around to the viewpoint that being annexed (never a state, more a Puerto Rico, wherein our resources our up for plunder without the obligations a Government usually takes for it's citizenry) would not be a bad thing, maybe even a good thing...
Columnists, such luminaries as the convicted criminal Conrad Black, or the sock-puppet Rick Bell, all trying to steer a largely ignorant base into their camps....
Smith, her inane list of demands presented to Carny, her threats to "hold a referendum" - or, given her leadership, and - ha - Alberta - I'll ignore the spell-check and spell it as it should be - "referendumb" - on what? Whether Alberta should "Secede" or "Join the US"?
You could put it all down to just more inanity in the news cycle, more idiocy, more distraction and you'd be right, but she's a very populist flavour of stupidity that resonates with Albertans.
The ongoing dismantling of healthcare - "Privatization" she styles it, in which the communal assets of the government - Hospitals, Utilities, etc - built and paid for by the people of the province, are sold off to private interests, with the argument that this will "reduce costs and improve efficiency". This is, of course, and outright lie, as has been proven time and again.
She's a traitor, both to her province and her country. And I recall with fondness those days of moral certainty when we'd as a nation hang them as an example. Now, well, our liberalness in these issues is as much a problem as a certain brand of Conservativeness south of the border.
