Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa are mostly manufactured, always exaggerated and, often, completely illusory. Now it's time for the people who spent the last decade amplifying and weaponizing them to put out the fire they helped create. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...

The Conservative Party did something in order to win over 50% of the votes in Canada. Mulroney welcomed the Separatistes & the Reformistes into his Party. They thanked him by Separating into the BQ and the CPC. Now, Poilievre is blaming Mark Carney for this.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built. Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

Remember, the unitary executive theory literally started as Nixon's attempt to get away with his Watergate crimes. Of course it's turned the government into Trump's personal crime machine. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Danielle Smith is Not Fit to Hold Political Office Her record speaks for itself. She's a disgrace. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli youtu.be/Yl0OK3_lpDs

Inspired by @jlisayoung.bsky.social's metaphor, I've been thinking a lot about the path to a possible separatism referendum this fall. Not only is it entirely avoidable. It is clearly intentional. Lisa's piece, in case you missed it: open.substack.com/pub/lisayoun...

Interesting take on the skills necessary for people to have in the age of increasing usage and capabilities of AI. #ai

Prosperity. Canada ahead of the US. #cdnpoli

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

Pissing away oil booms is practically a shared pastime in Alberta. But the cost of pissing this latest -- and last-- one away will be higher than all the other ones combined. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/12/o...

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

The first honest thing he’s said

Alberta is Canada and separatists are traitors. That’s all there is to it. 🇨🇦 👊 🇨🇦 💪

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

The evidence couldn't be more clear. And history offers sobering lessons. A separate Alberta would be a poorer Alberta. Quote via @trevortombe.bsky.social at The Hub #ForeverCanadian #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #UnitedForCanada

"The global EV transition in one chart: Leader: Norway Almost there: Netherlands, China Accelerating: U.K., France, Germany Starting: Thailand, South Korea Barely begun (yet still selling millions): U.S., India, Indonesia Doing its own thing: Brazil (ethanol)" - @JEBistline

“In the short term, the war raises export income for US oil and gas producers. In the longer term, the ‘energy dominance’ strategy is self-defeating—creating profound volatility and repelling investors, consumers, and governments alike.” www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/daw...

A pleasant read given the constant barrage of downslope demagoguery we are being subjected to lately. #uspoli

In this week's Forward Weekly feature, David Berry offers an unsparing commentary on the psychology of grievance politics in Alberta — and how personal frustration, left unchecked, can metastasize into something much more destructive. forwardweekly.ca/Separatism-F... #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

the American Century, what made it, what was it riveting essay. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/11/the-...

Massive story on how right wing extremists run a very nasty and shadowy media operation to twist people into fear and gain support. And it started decades ago. #uspoli

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

Alberta's Dead Pipeline Walking Asian "energy sovereignty" policies are about to gut Premier Danielle Smith's pipeline ambitions. #ableg #abpoli #bcpoli #cdnpoli markhamhislop.substack.com/p/albertas-d...

On a per-person basis, Canada is attracting more foreign investment than any other G7 country - roughly double the next closest and our highest level in 18 years. More investment means more jobs, more growth, and more opportunity.

It cannot be said enough times, nor loudly enough: Danielle Smith will blow up this entire province - and possibly the country - before she EVER takes accountability for anything. She blew up the CBE. She blew up the WRP. Blowing shit up is what she does when she can’t win. Know that, #ableg.

“Once a climate project, electrification is now a geopolitical insurance policy. A fossil fuel supremacist government has made carbon costly and unreliable—and accelerated the turn to the electric world order.” NEW @thepolycrisis.bsky.social column up now www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/daw...

My take on the BS from Alberta separatists: thewalrus.ca/albertas-sep... So many harmful lies. For example, there is nothing subtle about how Alberta separatists scapegoat immigrants. To call this language a dog whistle is an insult to dog whistles. And the embrace of the "cowboy" myth?

The best description of Trump. #cdnpoli 👇

Much like the US Republican party, the CONS under PP have turned into incompetent clowns. So dummy PP wants us to just lay out our entire negotiation strategy in public, prior to actual negotiations?? Why does anyone take this imbecile seriously? #cdnpoli

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

One of these men is a self-centered, power-hungry, petty authoritarian. The other is a king.

If you want to know how competent, well-respected, steady, and reliable Canada is under Carney, this would be the latest exhibit of many. #cdnpoli Contrast that to the braying imbecile we currently have as an opposition leader, and the raging dumpster fire currently playing out south of the border.

"The British monarch mobilised an elite squad of dead white men...in a charm offensive aimed over Donald Trump’s head and squarely at the US Congress." 😂 And he did it with some much needed nuance.

Excellent question.

This would be worth sharing with those struggling with the facts re: Alberta independence movement #ableg #abpoli nextstepsalberta.ca

So someone made this. And in a time when no one seems to be fighting back against these awful, racist, useless referendum(b) questions, this gave me a glimmer of hope. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #referendumb #Alberta

Superb from Tooze on global imbalances & international political economy. Almost everything we hear about "foreigners acting like leeches sucking out our bodily juices" and "trade wars are class wars" etc is largely caused by one of these domestic forces. adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

Obviously not a fan of the recent Iranian regime, and the atrocities committed against their own people and via their proxies, but it's very hard to argue with some of these points. #uspoli #iran

Pretty obvious, but for those who want a few more talking points. #cdpoli
