NEW PODCAST! Steven Kerzner and I talk about the high standard we need to hold people in power (like police) to; Poilievre's "landslide" leadership victory; grievance politics and separatists fanning Alberta's enduring myths; and Steven isn't a Avi Lewis fan. #cdnpoli www.podbean.com/ew/pb-gjjsh-...

I think they are people they say have indicated their support of independence for Alberta, not necessarily petition signers.

According to the Alberta separatists' website, there are 18 sitting MLAs of Danielle Smith's UCP government who support Alberta separating from Canada. Here are their names: albertarepublicans.com/actionhub/ml... #cdnpoli #ableg

50% of Conservatives say they approve of Donald Trump 50% of Conservatives say they approve of Donald Trump

The vast majority of Canadians disapprove of the Trump administration — except Conservatives:

🔴 LPC: 98%
🟠 NDP: 97%
⚜️ BQ: 94%
🔵 CPC: 50%

There is no "staffer". #JohnMiller

Heather McPherson in particular likes to stand up in Question Period to demand that the federal government *do something* about Danielle Smith .
No, that's not how this works. The federal government is not the parent and provinces are not children. They are co-equal divisions of power.

Brief thread.
My head is going to explode from the sheer civic illiteracy that We The Media have fostered by making everything a federal issue, and being absolutely allergic to holding premiers to account for failures in their jurisdictions.

Trump's voice in new Fannie Mae ad generated by AI, with his permission This isn’t the first time a member of the Trump family has used AI to replicate their voice.

Trump is at the point where he can't even narrate his own commercials. www.nbcwashington.com/news/nationa...

America is finished on the world stage.

N.L. premier says 'fractured' federal approach to pharmacare creating inequities ST. JOHN'S - The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador has written to Prime Minister Mark Carney, accusing the federal government of creating inequities through a "fractured" approach to national pharm...

You have to love that premiers roundly rejected pharmacare for a decade under Trudeau (except PEI) while he built all of the back-end infrastructure for it, and now they're getting shirty because they're not getting a deal right away.
My dudes.

I’d say Ace Ventura, but then I like Ave Ventura.

But, you know, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals killed Alberta's oil industry.

I'm loving the Dooneese hairstyle.

OK. Homelessness is tragic, but Lantsman is fall-down hilarious. #cdnpoli

Where is Wikileaks when you need them?

Next thing you know they'll demand legal representation and fair trials.

Y’all didn’t realize they were using “Democracy dies in darkness” as a mission statement, not a salutary motto

Sadly, I don't have much faith. Too many powerful people involved. It seems the American people have developed too high a tolerance for news that should shock and disgust.

US deputy attorney general says: "Two Eiffel Towers worth of Epstein files" have been released. "More than three million pages, including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images in total." And yet not a single person has been charged, even though they know the names of everyone in them.

And in CONCLUSION! Not since the hallowed days of #JamesBond have we seen a "man" so cunning as #ChadMichaelWatts! Who after getting his ass beaten by 10-20 high school with CAMERA'S, thought he could evade capture in their small #Texas town by shaving his head and beard that gave him a chin! 🤣🤣💀

I guess this is the new era of Conservative thoughtful co-operation with the national government. #cdnpoli

Justice Minister Fraser rebuffs Smith’s call for more say over judicial appointments Alberta Premier threatens to withhold some judicial funding if Ottawa refuses her demands

As he very well should.
He should also go further and call out that she is inventing new grievances to get angry about, but this is a good start.

Great to hear former Canadian Ambassador to the U.N. Bob Rae talk about the fast-moving and tempestuous world of international trade and relations. #cdnpoli #UN

Import costs driving Canada food inflation, BOC research says Bank of Canada research suggests the acceleration in food inflation last year was almost entirely due to rising import costs. Read here now

Oh, look—the Bank of Canada points to import costs, largely to do with our depreciated dollar, as one of the biggest drivers of food price inflation in the last year.
But don't worry—Poilievre will dismiss this when presented with these facts, and insist it's still imaginary taxes.
