Another striking figure from that Leger poll: the Liberals are at 35 per cent in Alberta. In Alberta. The last time the Liberals won that much of the vote in Alberta was in 1968. That's higher than other recent polls, but not by much. Abacus has them at 32 per cent; Liaison Strategies, at 27 per cent.
Angus Reid has the Libs at 25 per cent in Alberta, but finds other straws in the wind:

You have the right to leave the country. You don't have a right to take a piece of it with you.
You can hold whatever votes you like. But you can't vote to help yourself to something that isn't yours.
All of the territory of Canada belongs to all of Canada. Canada's future can only be decided by Canadians as a whole, not by groups within it, however desperate or fanatical.
(Which they are, pretty much by definition: to think that the only solution to your grievances, real or imagined, is to destroy one of the most successful countries that has ever existed marks you out as an extremist from the start.)

This is clear interference in Canada’s domestic affairs.

It crosses multiple lines.

In 1967, Canada expelled French President Charles de Gaulle for expressing support for the division of our country.

That is the kind of strength that will be required if the Trump Administration is involved in trying to tear Canada apart.

Ottawa should telegraph to the White House that if they get more involved in trying to divide Canada, we will respond with serious reprisals, and form a coalition of allies as Denmark did so effectively when it forced Trump to backdown on his threats to annex Greenland.
