Thoughts on this video, one from a guy I've previously always found to be pretty level headed and informative (though lately more openly right-wing):
I've stopped watching so far at the 12 minute or so mark. The first five minutes or so is decent, though I would think that since I've made the same argument for years that Canadian provinces have more in common with adjacent U.S states than with each other (though I think Alberta is generally more like the more libertarian Mountain West states than like Texas) but after that it was just a litany of moronic right wing talking points filled with simplistic half truths.
I think it went close to self parody when, after telling us in those first five minutes how Canada has no national identity, it then criticized Justin Trudeau and the 'liberal elites' for saying that Canada has 'no national identity.'
When I hear illogical nonsense like that, I tend to lose interest, but I might get back to it.
Yeah, it seemed like it was just wishcasting that Canada would join the United States in the near future. Which I get (I love Canadians and would love to have all of you join us), but it seemed wildly unrealistic, especially for a guy who's had some good videos on history.
