    I am utterly baffled as to why any Canadian in their right mind would want to be annexed by the U.S.

    They think it will make them more money, somehow.

      I think a lot of it is way more racist than that.

      “Old stock white Canadians, and that’s us, and we don’t have to apologize for this room being filled with white people. This used to be what Alberta was. We’re not apologizing for being ourselves… If we have control over immigration, we can control who comes here.”

      • Alberta Prosperity Project CEO Mitch Sylvestre

      He also said, “the replacement theory is real.” (i.e. the federal government intends to replace “white Canadians” with other races through immigration.) And he claimed Justin Trudeau said this explicitly. (I’m pretty sure he did not…)
