THE MORNING RANT: Canada Has Recognized the Nation of Palestine, Trump Should Recognize the Independence of Alberta & Quebec

The Canadian government has announced that it will be recognizing “Palestine” as an independent nation next month. Donald Trump should respond by recognizing the independence of Alberta and Quebec, and offering whatever US security and aid is necessary for those provinces to liberate themselves from the Canadian federation, if requested.

Under Hamas, Palestinians have rejected self-rule under a two-state solution that would include a safe and free Israel living in peace next to Gaza. With the October 7, 2023 invasion and mass murder of Israeli civilians, the Palestinians have made it clear that they will only settle for a one-state solution, in which Israelis are killed en masse. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has now let it be known that he sides with the Palestinians in their murderous zeal to have a Jew-free Palestine “from the river to the sea” where Israel now exists.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will recognize Palestine as a state in September at the United Nations General Assembly, following similar announcements from the United Kingdom and France. "The deepening suffering of civilians leaves no room for delay in co-ordinated international action to support peace, security, and the dignity of all human life," Carney said in a statement Wednesday.

President Donald Trump is understandably appalled at Prime Minister Carney’s endorsement of the mass murder of Jews, and the president has threatened to punish Canada via tariffs and trade penalties.

“Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social shortly after midnight. “That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!” he added.

While I have no problem with using economic sanctions or tariffs against terror-supporting countries, which is what Mark Carney’s Canada has become, a better punishment would be to help liberate its restless provinces. Quebec has had several secession votes over the years, and there is a strong desire for independence among its French-speaking majority. It should be known that the United States recognizes the independent nation of Quebec if it should announce its independence from Canada.

As for Alberta, a conservative province whose agricultural and energy industries are under attack from the radical leftists who control the Canadian government, there is a strong and growing independence movement. Donald Trump should give it a nudge by recognizing the sovereignty of Alberta to pursue nationhood – or U.S. statehood – if it so desires.

I genuinely believe that President Trump’s “Canada as a 51st state” posturing has actually been an “art of the deal” play to make annexing Alberta the compromise position. Once Alberta has safely found refuge under the Stars and Stripes, we should also rescue and annex Saskatchewan too.

Canada ultimately is powerless to stop breakaway provinces. Recognition from the United States that Alberta and Quebec are free and independent, and that we will provide all resources and aid necessary to ensure their independence, may be all that is needed to break up the terror-supporting nation of Canada.
