I'm old enough to remember when the leader of Canada's official opposition party congratulated Trump for invading a country last week.

I know you're busy saving Canada's economy and that's important
But can you please appoint someone to deal with the separatist traitors who are selling out Alberta to Trump and threatening my home

Steve Bannon is now openly talking about taking Alberta as the 51rst State, saying it's all he needs right now, instead of all of Canada. I live in Alberta. We will fight this.

You know things are going well, comrade, when government officials get on TV to give people austerity tips.
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Many people still think of poverty as something that happens when people don’t work. But the reality is different: majority of people who live in poverty in Canada are working or live in families who work. @gillianpetit.bsky.social and my 2026 chart to watch www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

No one has more contempt for the intelligence of Trump supporters than Trump & the members of his administration
Lutnick: "Donald Trump's economy grew 4.3%. That means that Americans overall, all of us, are going to earn 4.3% more money. We're making a raise, it's a simple way to do it."

On top of how obviously not true this is, this statement is pretty rich coming from a guy who was voted out of his position by his community and had to campaign in the friendliest riding imaginable just to keep his job.

Alberta’s separatist leaders might be clowns, but the threat they pose with an oil-hungry administration in Washington is no joke.

It’s time for Danielle Smith to pick a lane — and stop playing both sides of an existential threat to her country. #cdnpoli

Alberta’s separatist movement is no joke
For months now, Alberta’s premier has been catering to the separatists who dominate the membership of her United Conservative Party. Their appetite just keeps growing.

Perfect analogy.
Just making things up as they go along.

If this were continuous improvement, we'd say they were building an airplane while flying it.

This populist policymaking is more like like removiny the bolts mid-flight and replacing them with duct tape, ideology, and wishful thinking.

I've never minded paying taxes because in return I got healthcare, my kids were educated & social safety nets that made society a better, safer place to live
Smith wants to change all that
She only wants certain people to get healthcare & education even though they pay taxes

She is such an awful person
Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

That the UCP are willing to kill this and get in a fight with their rural base speaks to how vulnerable they are to even BIGGER lawsuits from Australian coal mining billionaires.

Everything they touch turns to shit and Albertans pay the price.

They'll piss away our money AND poison our water.

I have met several small c conservatives who are positively stoked to sign the recall for Jason Stephen. These recalls aren't partisan.
🔥 The Recall movement isn't a "leftist" stunt; it's pure citizen fury fighting for democracy and rights. The UCP MLAs have such hubris. Pundits are shocked how genuinely angry the province is. Recalls will hurt these MLAs more than they think. #ABpoli #ABLeg 1/2
