Important speech for Canadian unity in the face of American aggression.
Why do we never hear Conservatives making this speech?
Chrétien, Trudeaus, and Carney have all made this speech, it’s their bread and butter.
Cons today on the Alberta referendum are silent, where is Harper?

Russia has one strategic refinery left running at full capacity. One. After Ukraine struck Slavyansk and a Yaroslavl refinery on June 28, Russian media named Omsk as the last plant standing. Moscow's own refinery stays offline through 2026. Over 20 regions are rationing fuel.

Alberta separatists aren't for independence; they want to join the US. The funny part is that the entire organization pushing this is funded by Americans and also has regular meetings with the Trump administration. If you want to be American, fucking move there
