It turns out unreasonable extremists are both extreme and unreasonable.
Danielle Smith has been saying for months that an agreement on oil would "take the wind out of the sails" of a resurgent independence movement. What if that was not correct? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Danielle Smith’s oil deal with Mark Carney was supposed to quiet Alberta’s separatists. Too bad they didn’t get the message
Separatists swiftly criticized the lack of immediate action on a pipeline and the agreement from Alberta to increase its industrial price on carbon.

Danielle Smith: "I hope people today feel a lot more confident that Canada works than they did a couple of days ago."
UCP convention crowd: LOUD BOOS

Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

An optimistic take. Not sure I share it, but Max is always a smart voice.
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.
Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

The method to Mark Carney’s madness
The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

They deserve to massively fail.
And it is becoming the norm for the uber-wealthy companies to screw over their clients(the buying public) and their employees for larger dividends.

Rounds: Senator Shaheen mentioned that Secretary Rubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon. I think he made it very clear that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation. It is not our peace plan.

If this happened anytime in the 1990s or early 00s, it would be *the* scandal of a presidential term, and news of it would result in immediate resignation and the launch of Congressional investigations. Today, it's just one of a handful of outrages OF THE DAY.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.
