It's like refusing to cash in a winning lottery ticket to protest against taxes. https://www.ft.com/content/68fd8c4f-6f34-4f6e-a52c-76f635164031?syn-25a6b1a6=112 Oct 2026 08:26 +0000at://did:plc:kceo7b6xfk4eck3v6lpefei2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxo3tgujp22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/emilarchambault.bsky.social/post/3mxdzjkakf22jSeriously though. Imagine enduring two years of "51st state" provocations, stating on the record in the NYT that you contemplated possible US military action in Canada, and seeing the US openly support extremist separatist movements.
