No, you're not. You're playing semantic games when the future of our province and country is at stake.

If you're more bothered with a word than with the fact that people are using fake promises to split our country apart, then your priorities are absolutely fucked.

If I say, "this is cool!", do I mean it's cold or it's good/exciting/great?

This is incorrect.

People have used the word "Federalist" to refer to the pro-Canada position for decades. Look at the Quebec 1995 referendum.

Please stop being a semantic asshole.

Again, this is not what we mean.

Do you want Alberta to stay in Canada?

Where does my definition defend the expansion of federalist powers?

Yes, that's what it means in Canada.

I need to hammer home how important this is.

Separatists have been waiting for years for this moment. People I never saw as separatist are spreading the petition like wildfire.

We need to organize. We need brave people to step up & lead.

For Alberta. For Canada.

Link doesn't work.

Good thing we're not talking about the USA.

In Canada, "federalist" means someone who supports Canada & a province staying in Canada.

If a Conservative supports Alberta staying in Canada, then it doesn't matter.

Our first and only goal is protecting Alberta's place in Canada. We can go back to our political fights after that.

Proud Albertans who love Canada - also known as "Federalists," need to start organizing.

It doesn't matter what your political party, ideology, or beliefs are. This has to be the time where we start taking charge and getting ready.

The moments in which it feels like President Donald Trump has crossed a line seem to happen more frequently these days. In just the last few weeks we’ve had the cruel mockery of the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, the spasm of brinksmanship over Greenland, the smearing of allied soldiers who fought and died alongside US troops, the rolling ICE catastrophe, the revelation that Trump’s crypto coin raked in $500 million from an investment firm tied to the UAE, and a reported attempt to coerce Congress into renaming New York’s Penn Station after himself. That’s off the top of my head.

If I could travel back to January 2021 and show my younger self this paragraph, he would be absolutely horrified.

For me, it's just Friday.

The Dene National Chief has announced the Dene Nation stands firmly behind the First Nations of Treaty 6, 7 & 8 in rejecting separatism.

“I’m speaking to all Canadians: this is not an Alberta problem it’s a Canadian problem! We must win the referendum with a resounding result so we put an end to separatism in Western Canada once and for all!” 🇨🇦

What Can We Do? A Holiday Plan for Restoring Alberta’s Democracy

This is the most important piece you will read today. I encourage you to share it everywhere, with everyone.

I'm a proud Albertan. I love this province, I love these people, & I love our flag. We must reclaim Alberta from authoritarianism!

If they’re willing to do this then I’d bet money they’re willing to encourage/support Alberta separatism.

Recall petition targeting Alberta Premier Danielle Smith approved | CBC News Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, along with two additional members of her cabinet, are now the latest MLAs to face a recall petition from constituents.

These MLA recall campaigns are a pretty signal that a growing number of Albertans are unhappy with the UCP and want to do something about it. This should be a big wake up to the opposition NDP that it’s time to start nominating candidates who can try to harness some of this volunteer power.

Danielle Smith & the Notwithstanding clause in a nutshell.

I'm terrified of a government that doesn't respect the judiciary, the general consensus of Albertans and the rule of law.

Alberta has had justice ministers since 1905 yet the “political activism” Mickey Amery is seeking to shield himself from seems to have only been an issue since the UCP formed government six years ago. 🤔

No society in history has improved its standard of living without low-cost energy: B.C. expert The energy debate in Canada has flipped upside down. People still worry about climate change, but polls suggest people are ready for the real-world "energy literacy" offered by Don Wright.

Good of the Vancouver Sun to update this piece to a) more accurately describe me, and b) include links to my pieces that debunked Don Wright's bad argument.

Danielle Smith has just admitted on Real Talk w/ Ryan Jespersen that she is NOT a separatist, saying "yes" to @LukaszukAB's referendum question, "Do you agree that Alberta should remain within Canada?"

How will her separatist base react?

Yes, she did, and in no uncertain terms. #abpoli

‘Quite concerning’: a judge, experts, the NDP pan Alberta Bill 14 A Court of Kings Bench Justice, political experts and the NDP are all raising alarm over Bill 14 and the premier’s repeated criticism of ‘unelected judges.’ As Sean Amato reports, Danielle Smith sugge...

What do you call a government that doesn't care about the courts, that tramples over human rights, while facing serious allegations of corruption?

I'm sure there's a word for this.

Bell: Bike lane crackdown looms, Smith's UCP demands Calgary numbers Danielle Smith UCP government still looking at a bike lane crackdown while Calgary city hall won't cough up usage numbers.

The Alberta government sure looks like it’s going to try to rip out some bike lanes in Edmonton and Calgary calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

A pretty startling claim, to be sure.

I commute across the city almost daily, and I can attest to how prevalent the signs are. I've also personally seen multiple complaints of people finding Better Edmonton signs on their property w/o consent.

The signs are everywhere.

The AB gov’t appealed the injunction against trans health care bans, but is now bypassing its opportunity to argue the reasonableness of *all* its anti-trans laws via the notwithstanding clause. This reveals a lack of confidence in its claim that it is “protecting” trans and gender diverse youth.
