A CBC investigation looked into those viral “Alberta should join the US / separate” YouTube videos—and the results are… not what people expected.

• The issue itself is real: Alberta has long-standing tensions with Ottawa over oil, taxes, and federal policy.
• But a network of ~20 YouTube channels (40M+ views) has been mass-producing misleading content about it (fake polls, exaggerated support, copy-paste scripts).
• The people behind it? Not governments, not oil companies.

Instead, it traces back mostly to individuals linked to the Netherlands running “faceless YouTube” businesses:

• Hiring random voice actors (often in the United States) for $20–$60/video
• Using templates + automation
• Pumping out political content purely for ad revenue

So the takeaway isn’t that Alberta separatism is fake, it’s that its online presence is being artificially amplified by people with zero stake in Canada, just chasing clicks.

Legit seems like traditional conservative propaganda and more like late-stage pure content farming.

Just send the supreme court back to their original jurisdictions and come up with a new national appeals court that has a randomized selection. HOLY BASSEDDDDDD
