🇨🇦 Ottawa suddenly discovers Alberta exists

Forty Liberal MPs parachute into Calgary for pancakes and photo ops, and we are supposed to believe this is national unity. Alberta gets strangled for years by Ottawa regulation, tanker bans, carbon taxes and moral lectures, then Mark Carney swaps sneakers for cowboy boots and the regime calls it outreach. Even the federalist sales pitch is comedy: Corey Hogan warns Albertans that voting to continue a separation process would harm the province, as if the damage was not already done by the same class now begging for loyalty, as reported.

This is the real contradiction. The Laurentian machine wants Alberta's money, energy and compliance, but not its political will. Carney and Poilievre both know western alienation did not fall from the sky. It was engineered by a central Canadian establishment that treats sovereignty, resource development and provincial autonomy as obstacles to managerial rule. Ottawa is not worried about democracy. It is worried that one province might finally stop funding its own humiliation.
