Alberta can't separate for many reasons. It is explained clearly below.

Just so we’re all clear here Alberta can’t separate, here is a detailed explanation as to why. Danielle Smith is causing a huge distraction because of investigations into her government. Ignore them.

No. She's has a documentary coming out the Friday before the NO KINGS RALLIES. It's called Andrew Young, the dirty work. Appropriate for where we are in the Trump days.

Alberta’s new "Strong and Free" license plate slogan is the official motto, but its present political framing gives it a divisive, American-style GOP taint. Some words deserve better than political branding. #ABpoli #ABleg
calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

A satirical poster styled like a neon party invitation comparing political slogans using cakes and decorations themed around “Strong and Free.”
Header reads “Which party are you going to?” followed by three sections:

“True North Strong & Free”: A white cake with red maple leaf decorations, representing Canadian unity and shared belonging.

“Forever Strong & Free”: A blue-green cake with oil pump imagery and Wildrose petals, labeled “Dani Made Cake,” implying Alberta political branding.

“Truly Strong & Free”: A red star-shaped balloon with a buffalo image, described as a partisan remix that is “loud in the room, alone at the table.”
The image critiques political appropriation of national and provincial slogans.

A satirical poster comparing Alberta’s original motto with its modern political use.
Left side titled “How It Started” shows Alberta’s coat of arms with the Latin motto “Fortis et Liber,” meaning “Strong and Free.” Text explains it was granted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1980 for Alberta’s 75th anniversary as a tribute to resilience, dignity, and belonging in Canada.
Right side titled “How It’s Going” shows a blue graphic reading “Strong and Free.” Text criticizes that the motto has been reduced to a catchphrase used to justify chaos and division, referencing Danielle Smith’s May 5 speech.
Bottom caption reads, “Some words deserve better than political branding.”
Small disclaimer: “This is a satirical commentary. Not affiliated with Government of Alberta

"Halligan is finding out that prosecuting a case is harder than it looks — particularly when that case has already been rejected by seasoned prosecutors as unwinnable. Add in that it will be tried on the fastest federal docket in the US, and you’ve got the makings of a total humiliation in court."
