Elon Musk says Quebec, Alberta and Saskatchewan should separate from Canada
Montreal Gazette ^ | October 7, 2026 | Harry North

Posted on 10/07/2026 2:41:30 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Elon Musk has backed Quebec independence and said Alberta and Saskatchewan should leave Canada, too, coming days after the separatist Parti Québécois returned to power.

“Good. Quebec should separate,” the billionaire owner of X wrote on Wednesday, responding to a post about incoming premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s pledge that Quebec independence would one day be achieved.

“They would be better off. Alberta and Saskatchewan should separate, too,” he added.

The remarks from one of President Donald Trump’s most prominent allies come amid growing scrutiny of American interest in separatist movements in Canada, including contacts between U.S. officials and separatists in both Quebec and Alberta.

On Monday, the PQ won a minority government with 59 of the 127 seats in Quebec’s National Assembly, five short of a majority, and less than two weeks before Alberta holds a referendum that could pave the way for its own independence vote.

Despite support for Quebec independence hovering around 30 per cent, St-Pierre Plamondon has promised a referendum during his first term. He has said the vote should wait until Trump leaves office in 2029.

I don't care what Quebec does, just stay out of America.

Let’s see. $438,000 Jews in France and 300,000 in the United Kingdom. They’d all fit in well in Canada. They’d just have to exchange the ones they got already.

Should but won’t. It looks like Alberta is not even willing to send a message after Carney bribed them by floating a pipeline that will never be built.

>Albertans are set to vote on Oct. 19 on whether the provincial government should begin the legal process required to hold a binding referendum on separation.<

Binding? Come on!

Canada should not exist as it now stands, but at the rate we are going, the US should not either. The debt will soon eat us alive and the uniparty REFUSES to face it, reduce spending, abolish needless federal agencies and balance the budget. It almost seems planned.

What do you want to do? Repeal the 19th Amendment? Women ALWAYS spend more money than they have.

“The debt will soon eat us alive ...”


The debt is worrisome, but the fact that nearly half of Americans want the other half dead or in ‘reeducation camps’ is, I believe the bigger threat to the U.S.

Go back to the Declaration:
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.”
Balance the budget and abolish these “multitude of New Offices” that “eat out our substance.”
Balance the budget!!!

Canada would be better off without Quebec. Alberta would be better off without Canada.

I hope my attempt at humor was appreciated.

Congress, as ignorantly modified by the 19th Amendment, is now incapable of balancing a budget. Government is not limited, and logic has no chance of ruling.

The Founders were smarter than what came after.

When I was in Montreal in the '80s, I thought it was the Lesbian Caprtal of the World.

Haven't seen much to change my mind.

Having said that, The Mosr Beautiful girl I've ever seen was in Montreal.

We just did a Drum Corps show at Olympic Stadium. There was a McDonald's next to the stadium (That was "real food" then), and there she was.

Long story short (too late), she only spoke French. Her mom spoke English, so yes, I had the unmitigated audacity to hit on that girl through her mom.

About that time, we were told the buses were leaving, so we had to boogie.

If Alberta and Saskatchewan separate, then there is no reason for BC to hang on. Just form a new country.
