I would leave Alberta and take a loss on my house to do so.
👀 this sure says a lot about how unpopular separation is
If Albertans vote to separate, there could be mass emigration, with 77% saying they'd leave.

Let’s be clear: there is no universe where Karoline Leavitt should still have a job by the end of today. Dismissing the response to a racist meme from the president as “fake outrage,” saying it “doesn’t matter,” and waving it off as a Lion King joke is a fireable offense.

8/8 If full-time workers cannot meet basic needs, the economy is failing its most fundamental test.

The "working poor" aren't an anomaly anymore. They are the new statistical norm.

I can't believe how many of these pieces point out that UCP policies are detrimental to public services without acknowledging that THEIR ENTIRE FUCKING PLAN IS TO END PUBLIC SERVICES.

Again and again we see that it’s not actually about being prudent with tax dollars; it’s quite the opposite.

This is a monumentally irresponsible move. Whoever advised the premier should resign or be fired.

Smith shouldn't just withdraw the threat. She should apologize for threatening to cut off Albertans' access to their own justice system.

Tomorrow.

“If the Conservatives were more of a political party, and less of a cult, they would read the writing on the wall. Their leader cannot lead.”

Pierre Poilievre has spent his time as CPC leader insulting Canadians’ intelligence with rage-bait and disinformation.

He inspires no confidence.

Yes. They couldn't think of every possible idiocy and write them all down. Obviously, they never meant for a known criminal- a convicted felon- to be allowed to run for president. Too bad our Republican Party pretends not to understand.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
