I really hope someone writes a book about how selective Canadians have been about what constitutes imperialism. Alberta seperatism gained traction over ten years ago and can be attributed to US social media algos promoting fascism as much as it can be to the inherent inequities in Canada’s election system, extractivist economy, and settler-colonialism. It would be extremely difficult to argue that Canada has had any single election at any level without US intervention in some way over the past decade.
