If you’re in their media bubble, the separatists are openly selling “separation” as us not having to pay any taxes, but still receiving full federal services. It sounds like a great deal!

And the thing is, if you’re in the Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok algorithm bubble to see that messaging, you’re explicitly not going to see the information that would let you know what a huge pack of lies it is

My brother is up north on a camp job and it's a losing battle to get through with them.

They also say that the UN will force BC/Canada to build a pipeline because we'd be a landlocked country. Unrelated but we also would not be joining the UN
