As Benedict Donald continues to sundown, stranger things are coming out of his mouth. His stream-of-consciousness can be overwhelming, but one theme that emerges is... water. Yesterday, he was at it again.
Remember how a few months back, Trump thought there was a giant faucet somewhere that California Governor Gavin Newsom could have just turned on to put out the LA fires? He's taken it one step further with an imaginary fire-suppression system.
"Newsom didn't allow the water to come from the Pacific Northwest. I demanded that to be open. If that were open, you wouldn't have had the fire because all the sprinklers would have worked in the houses."
All righty, then. (And no, you don't need to ask — the press that spent three relentless weeks last year hounding Joe Biden about his mental faculties has had nothing to say about this.)
Meanwhile, a recent survey by the Leger firm in Quebec showed a jump in young people's interest in sovereignty. Forty-eight percent of respondents age 18 to 24 were in favor of the province breaking away from Canada. It's not a majority, and it's only one poll, but the separatist Parti Quebecois thinks things could be trending in their direction. (This year is the 30th anniversary of the 1995 referendum, in which the "No" side beat the "Yes" side by a mere 54,288 votes.)
What does this have to do with Donald's water fascination? We cats have a theory. We believe that some in the Trumpian circle are keeping a sharp eye on separatist sentiment in La Belle Province. In fact, they may be working under the table right now to foment a Canadian breakup. Why? Because like Putin, they hate federalism (as we know from their actions here in the US). But there's another reason.
Quebec is home to 3 percent of the world's freshwater. It's not an imaginary big faucet, but it's one hell of a resource. So, all the province has to do is secede from Canada, and Trump can order an invasion.
The last time the US tried to take over Quebec, it didn't go very well. But that won't stop Benedict Donald. We cats HISS.
