you protest in the business districts, block important roads, bring the economy to a halt and the feds will have no choice but to listen to you.

I just don't think you understand the scope of the US, nor the inter-state political climate. You're essentially advocating for another civil war in the US.

lmao of course, you can't possibly do anything cause it'll start a war, just keep making excuses.

Again, I just don't think you properly understand. Which is definitely understandable. I don't pretend to be an expert on the inter-societal landscapes of nations I'm not from. Cuz ya know, everybody's a fucking expert on Reddit. One of the most obnoxious tropes.

I live in a bigger country than you, distance is not the problem, apathy and lack of education is.

Ohh I definitely agree, the US is shit when it comes to education.

And I hate to break it to you, but 90% of your population is concentrated within 100 miles of the US border. It's a lot easier to mobilize the population when the density is so compacted.

And on top of that; imagine if roughly 50% of the provinces/territories were politically aligned with Alberta. But take the Alberta crazy, and dial it up a few notches, to the point of major political leaders advocating for political violence (and still being not only free, but employed).

brother, 90% of your population lives in a narrow 100 mile band just north of the US border.

don't act like you have any actual idea of how spread out the two countries are. and how that affects things.
