I usually ignore Canada. You should too. It is usually a nice place where the biggest drama is a hockey score. But their politics are usually about as exciting as watching paint dry on a cold day. However, the current **Canada political crisis** has taken a turn for the absurd. The mask is off. The polite neighbors to the north are starting to fight dirty, and it is a beautiful train wreck to witness.

Here is what happened. Some folks from Alberta decided they were tired of being Canadian. Alberta is the place with the oil and the cowboys, and the **Alberta separatism** movement—often dubbed "Wexit"—is heating up. They feel like the odd man out up there. So, what did they do? They did not just write a letter. They went big. They packed their bags and went to have a secret chat with the United States regarding **joining the US**. Specifically, they went to talk to **Donald Trump’s team**.

Think about that for a second. These guys are so sick of their own government that they went to the neighbors to ask for help breaking up their own house. It is like a teenager running away to the crazy uncle’s house because mom and dad made him clean his room. It is desperate. It is sad. And it is exactly the kind of mess I expect from politicians and activists these days.

Then comes the reaction, and this is where the SEO gold lives. The premier of British Columbia, a guy named David Eby, completely lost his mind. He did not just say he was disappointed. He pulled out the big gun. **David Eby's treason accusation** instantly dominated the headlines. He used the word “treason.”

Treason. That is a heavy word. That is a keyword-rich, high-intent word. Eby told reporters that going to a foreign country to ask for help breaking up Canada is treason. He was clutching his pearls so hard I am surprised they did not turn into diamonds. He wants you to think this is a huge crime. He wants you to think these Alberta guys are supervillains.

Let’s be real here. It is not treason. It is just stupidity. But politicians love to use scary words to keep you in line. Eby is scared. He sees cracks in the wall. He sees that the people in charge are losing their grip. When a politician screams “treason,” what they really mean is “hey, you are not allowed to ignore me.” It is all about control. He is acting like Canada is some holy land that cannot be touched. Please. It is just lines on a map drawn by dead guys a long time ago.

Now, look at the Alberta side of this joke. These separatists are deluded. They think the United States is going to save them? Have they looked at the United States lately? We are a dumpster fire down here. We can barely keep our own lights on. Our politics are a wrestling match that never ends. And these Alberta guys think, “Yeah, I want some of that.” They want to trade their boring, safe problems for our loud, dangerous problems. It proves that the grass is always greener on the other side, even if the other side is on fire.

And what about the Trump team taking the meeting? Of course they took the meeting. They love chaos. They thrive on it. If they can stir the pot in another country, they will do it for fun. They probably could not find Alberta on a map if you paid them. But if it makes the current Canadian government look weak, they are all in. It is a game to them. They do not care about the people in Alberta. They just want to poke the bear.

This whole story shows you how useless everyone is. The separatists are grifters looking for a shortcut. The BC premier is a drama queen trying to sound tough. The Trump team is just stirring up trouble. Nobody actually cares about fixing problems. Nobody cares about making life better for the guy working a 9-to-5 job. They just want to fight over power and borders.

It is all just noise. Nothing will happen. Alberta won’t leave. The US won’t invade. But for a few weeks, these guys get to be on TV. They get to feel important. They get to pretend they are fighting a war. But they aren't. They are just kids fighting in a sandbox while the rest of us try to pay our bills. It is pathetic. But at least it is not boring anymore.
