Leaders of Canadian political partiesโ€ฆ this *is* what we need of you.

We are stronger together.

We are a small country and every single one of us matters.

We can disagree - the energy of disagreement leads to better decisions - but not lose our humanity and respect for our humanity.

Alberta as the 51st State: Jeff Rathโ€™s MAGA Fever Dream

Words matter.

Rath's conspiracy rhetoric is downright dangerous.

Smith can no longer pretend that she opposes the separatists' referendum if she sees herself as their future leader.

Danielle Smith has not a shred of integrity. She is a separatist and any thinking person can see that plain as day. This ridiculous lie is yet another piece of evidence toward that conclusion. #cdnpoli #abpoli

On Power & Politics (Andrew Thomson) on Carneyโ€™s speech:

โ€œWe donโ€™t need a speech on what Canadians are/should beโ€

Really?? Clearly Andrew hasnโ€™t been reading up on Alberta politics - and that perhaps some of us need a reminder.

Alternate headline:

Four in five Albertans would vote to stay in Canada

Petition for Alberta independence referendum approved | Watch News Videos Online Watch Petition for Alberta independence referendum approved Video Online, on GlobalNews.ca

Separatist Jeff Rath (Alberta Prosperity Project) says that the โ€œUS administration is very excited about Alberta independenceโ€.

Rath and Cam Davies (Alberta Republican Party) visited Mar-a-Lago and White House several times.

Who arranges these meetings?

He shouldn't, but if enough Ontario/Maritime delegates decide not to come to Calgary in January, he probably will.

Winning the review would just delay the inevitable, though. He's never going to be PM.

Poilievre was also quiet for many hours after Bruce Fanjoy defeated him and he lost his seat in Ottawa Carleton, to be fair.

I feel exactly the same way. I have felt concern building about public education in Alberta since the UCP dismantling process began in 2019, and am now putting that energy towards this petition.

Albert used to have an amazing, world class public education system. We need that again.

There is a sitcom premise in the idea that the Poilievres have to move to Battle River-Crowfoot post-politics and truly try to make a go of it. Funniest if they move to Torrington and the Gopher Museum is featured.

I wish some Albertans would realize that if the conservatives don't deliver for them, they can vote for someone else

I know it's a wild idea but how about Alberta hold it's MP's to account once and while
Make them earn their paycheck
That's what the east does and it works for them
