I'm here!
Dedicated to saving Alberta's pristine mountains.
#CanadaSky. #YYC-based, for now...
Dejected historian, wannabe political pundit, enduring feminist who is pressing on...
Well shit for brains is done talking.

That was painful.

Dani is not AT ALL in her lane in this speech. Honey, you're not the PM.

Dani yelling out cabinet ministers' names like they're rock stars. Piffling clapping results.

Interesting.

Trudeau keeps getting booed at the UCP convention. They just can't stop with him.

And he and Notley gave them the TMX pipeline.

You can't make this stuff up.

~20 years from now we're all going to hear a teenager say "I was born in the wrong generation, I'm jealous of everyone who got to live through the 2020s" and I think we should promise each other that when that day comes, we'll try not to throw this person directly into the sun

This is Dani full-on trying to appeal to her base. Gets booed when she says not to give up on Canada.

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

Does Dani know she's being live broadcast nationally? "Battling LEFTISTS" ???

Fuck right off, Dani.

Unsustainable. No wonder they want peace.
❗️The 🇷🇺Russian Federation has set a record share of military spending since the USSR era: in 2026, Russia plans to spend $166.8 billion on the army — almost 30% of the entire budget.

Make it make sense.
The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
Just to level set

I miss him.

"So long and thanks for all the fish."
One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:

“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”

More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙

Long overdue.

Trump doesn't know any of these words. It's Miller who is writing these posts.
In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line:

"and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..."

No one is safe when a bully is in charge.

Fair point.
The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Almost akin to appeasing a bully.
THIS.

Exactly what has been bothering me the most, and I’m in Alberta.
As a political scientist, I think the effects on unity are some of the biggest problems with the agreement. It legitimates "Alberta" as an aggrieved party, distinct from other provinces, while treating BC and its peoples to be as issues to be managed, rather than partners in the federation.

It's qwhite puzzling...
Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

Dani got played again. Just like she did with the late Jim Prentice.
Maybe our Prime Minister will see my latest Danielle Smith video and hire me as his new Minister of Hypocrisy, that would be fun
