Pro-science. Pro-critical thought. Pro-democracy. No use for idiots and liars of any political stripe. The centre has to hold or the wheel comes apart. I’ve no use for anyone’s ideological purity tests.

Can you please step up your media and voice a united Canada stance. Give Albertans something to vote for instead of voting against Smith

Provide Albertans with a vision they can buy into b/c it meets their values and desire for a united Canada

That was my very first thought on hearing that production might be curtailed. If she’d had the capacity to wage war in the middle east herself, she’d have done it just to boost oil prices.

If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot:

Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus.

It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧡

He’s super-obliterating them now. They will be so super-obliterated that it’ll make obliterating them the first time look like something the Dems might have done.

Ugh, not me. It’s not like he’s browsing bazaars or relaxing on the beach. He has to be β€œon” 24/7 while he’s there. I doubt he remembers much about any of the countries he visits as PM.

Exactly. He’s not a micromanager. I’m confused by people who seem to think he needs to be hip deep in every file himself.

Technically true… they plan to adopt the US dollar. Because that’s what truly sovereign, independent nations do.
