Poilievre has been screaming about this and all MSM did was deny, deny, deny. It didn’t go unnoticed. It was ignored for far too long.

Basically chickened out on a referendum to separate (avoid egg on the face) and here's some red meat for the wolves to distract themselves. I believe a new republic must stretch from the Great Lakes to the Pacific and have at least 80% support across a broad field including the western provinces, the indigenous treaty holders and the territories, including Ontario west of 88⁰ and so the idea of Alberta going it alone obviously ends up with them becoming a US state at best, a territory like Puerto Rico more likely. More work is needed.
Critiques political strategy and proposes alternative policy framework for regional separation, comparing different governance models.

Good point. That was a mistake. How much of it was Kenny, how much was based on denial regarding the economy, and how much was Smith, I don't really know.

India is multi-cultural, Punjab is only 1 part of India and their culture is different from the other Indian states represented in India. The behavior of Punjabi immigrants is not reflective of other Indian cultures in India. For whatever reason there seems to more Punjabi migrants in Canada than from any other state in India. Its the job of Canada to enforce assimilation and immigration rules, they deliberately don't. Littering and defecating in public spaces is illegal in Canada but the Canadian government refuses to enforce those rules.
Critiques Canadian government enforcement of immigration and public conduct rules, with unsubstantiated claims about Punjabi immigrant behavior.

But what can they do they arrest the bad guy he is just back on the street committing crimes again. Or a judge rules by feeling and the criminal gets a slap on the wrist.
