Not surprising given the Times' background, that the CIA isn't mentioned at all as a suspect. Despite that quietly funding and boosting separatist groups is their quintessential modus operandi; that they've done this hundreds of times all over the world; and US intelligence is the most well-funded in the world; and US leadership has now without ambiguity signaled US' intention to end Canada as a sovereign nation. They acknowledge the politician, sure; but they disregard the enormous state apparatus that politician wields, what it does and is capable of. The New York Times is pretty consistent about ignoring it. Note US administration-aligned media has lately been spotlighting US annexation of Alberta[0], despite only 18% support in actual Alberta[1]. Note also the related intelligence admissions about Greenland[2].
