Honestly, what difference does it make? This petition effort has been gargantuan, all in favour of Canada. Why should we object to a new politician/political party that has Alberta's and Canada's best interests at heart?

Stay at home, we have a magnificent country to explore. I altered my plans this year, avoided US. No excuse not to keep our money in Canada, glad to see these numbers. You can't compartmentalize
going South, you're feeding Trump, shame anyone who does. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I'm not impressed that DoFo used loads of taxpayer money to put this commercial on US channels. But people seem to be eating it up, so there's that.

Trump ends Canada access at shared border library

Long read - but worth it. Free trade generally raises all boats, but it comes with peril. The seas these days are rocky, to be sure. It helps to have some historical context. #cdnpoli

The Dial @thedialmag.bsky.social · 6d

Canada’s embrace of free trade with the U.S. 40 years ago has come back to haunt it. To understand how, Dónal Gill winds the clock back to 1988 — the year the country abandoned its axiomatic principle: its separateness from the U.S.

Mulroney's election in 1988 was the one time I've literally shed tears at the result. I was a one-issue voter - free trade. Some of us could see the eventual integration of Canada into the U.S., more than just economically, and we've been proven right. It remains one of the saddest days of my life.

"Smart" products are marketed to consumers who are "not smart."

This one was Chinese, which just makes things worse.

You're better off going low-tech instead cuz US products are already going down the Chinese route....

Meanwhile, in Manitoba…

At least one premier has a grasp of just how serious using the notwithstanding clause is…

And is taking steps to ensure that at least one province doesn’t use it before hearing from the courts.

I agree with you 100% except for one caveat... Doug Ford had no business going off half-cocked with that ad. Whatever happened to "Team Canada"?
