I once looked into whether Danielle Smith's known instances of collusion with Donald Trump against the territorial integrity of Canada constituted literal treason, and found that it did according to the relevant laws . But it appears that the feds are unwilling to arrest and try her for treason, for fear of the backlash among the Maple MAGA crowd.

    Arrest those who would provide the backlash too. If law is good enough for traitor, it's good enough for supporters of traitor too.

    I'd say arrest her and wait for the backlash then arrest those who commit crimes.

    last thing you want is to set a precedent that everyone on a 'side' is a criminal. wait for the crimes.

    If your side is "I don't like the fairly elected government so let's go against the people's will and secede while selling off the land to a wannabe dictator", then I'm sorry, you ARE a criminal traitor.
