Preston Manning is now trying to terrorize Canadians with Alberta leaving confederation if Carney wins. Danielle Smith tried to terrorize Canadians earlier. That is a one two punch. This is some dark arts stuff and I doubt it is all Canadian.

They can say they are leaving but it is still a small minority of those that want that, it is not going to go anywhere. They are the vocal trucker convoy assholes.

Of on rig site. I always had to bring him back to reality after him listening to the rednecks and them watching Fox News. He is now no longer a conservative supporter and full on Carney. He cannot stand Smith. He has always worried about having a job and has now realized finally that it is not dependent on voting for conservatives especially extremism.

If anyone can get through to the right wing trucker convoy types it is him and his thoughtful discourse.
