It's such an outsize part of the justifiable complaints by residents in the area. The restrictions aren't unreasonable! Not sure why the province can't conceptualize "freedom" without violating consent, but that <clears throat> has been a theme these past couple of years in particular 😕

This is important context re WE & #JesseBrown. However, the Canadian Student Services Grant program (CSSG) that #WECharity was chosen by the civil service to administer (not by Trudeau or his staff), was not a sole source contract, it was a transfer payment program - at the height of the pandemic.

My latest for The Tyee! Video coming later today 🥰 “…proponents of this racist movement (remigration) want it to enter the mainstream in Canadian politics — and they’re networking domestically and internationally to work towards that goal.”

As Pierre Poilievre stepped onto the stage to address the Canada Strong and Free Network conference in May, some of the most prominent conservatives in Canada were looking on. So too was an increasingly notorious “Canadian nationalist.” @rachelgilmore.bsky.social reports. #canpoli

As Poilievre stepped on stage to address the CSFN conference in May, some of Canada’s most prominent conservatives were watching. So was an increasingly notorious “Canadian nationalist.” New for @thetyee.ca: I dig into the organized effort to make a racist movement mainstream in Canadian politics.

The United Nations will ensure a separate Alberta gets its new pipeline to tidewater. Or... will it? Chatted with @faliceemo about how much a separatist Alberta that wouldn't be part of the UN can rely on the UN, and other landlocked country examples. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/n...

New post: Political blackmail under the guise of a unity speech #cdnpoli

The New version of the @tsnofficial.bsky.social TV app is awesome

Alberta separatism is about greed, ambition and becoming an oil superpower The real driver of separatism is the thwarted opportunism of the Blue-Eyed Sheikhs 2.0. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #bcpoli markhamhislop.substack.com/p/alberta-se...

@tsnofficial.bsky.social My eyes are going bad, but 2 out of 3 of your cameras are making the colour of the field look black in Ottawa. #cfl

Governments sometimes do things that defy any logic & are dumb as shit BUT They don’t do things without purpose or reasoning Which means ya’ll need to contemplate deeply why a government wants or needs a fast way to determine if someone on the street is Canadian or not. #ableg

"Ambassador" Pete Hoekstra taunting Canada today about us becoming the 51st state. Fuck off Pete.

Alberta is hiring 1.2% of the population to count its referendums. #abpoli

This is right out of her 2021 University of Calgary School Of Public Policy paper on healthcare. She talked about this very thing as one step along the road to privatizing healthcare. Albertsons should be rioting in the streets. Instead, they’re too exhausted by all her chaos.

So now everyone in the world now knows that everyone in Trump's orbit got there by A) having something to hide, and B) glazing the boss every chance they get. Competency not required.

Gosh this isn't disturbing in the slightest...

This is nicely put. The machine that subordinates all life to its own algorithm of self-expansion is already operating: It’s called capital. www.newyorker.com/science/anna...

Letter writer in today’s @TheGlobeandMail.com calls the Alberta grievance industry out to a ‘T’. 🍁🍁🍁

Kusie is my MP, and she has never once stopped being a back-bencher idiot.

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...

Danielle Smith keeps inflating the number of people she claims have "given up" on Canada, saying that it's now up to 1 million. Utter horseshit. #PnPCBC

Oh, I tried to curate my feed on Twitter. And just block the Nazi assholes. But once I curated a block list of 140,000 Nazi accounts, I realized that the solution was not to block 140k accounts, but rather, just one. Mine. And once I did that, my Twitter experience has become immeasurable better.

Serious question for serious people: does Alberta have any actual, substantive grievances that go beyond raging at the facts of confederation or the realities of global energy markets?

There aren't many columnists in this country better than @sproudfoot.bsky.social, and she was especially good in this piece. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

Jen Gerson on Alberta's quest for separatism is righteously angry, and while I have some quibbles, it is the piece the separatists deserve www.readtheline.ca/p/jen-gerson...

“Premier Danielle Smith has announced a Fall referendum on the general notion of referendums, including what they are, what if any questions they could ask, and why Alberta Separatists are right about everything.”

“These people are children poisoned by cynicism and self-regard running an ugly little grift and ordinary Albertans will foot the bill in the long run.” www.readtheline.ca/p/jen-gerson...

David Parker has joined Jeffrey Rath in calling for Danielle Smith to be removed as UCP leader and Premier.

Jen Gerson: "The UCP has become a party of snivelling, weak little thieves who operate by night."

“Albertans are now seeing Danielle Smith's government for what it is: undemocratic, authoritarian, and willing to bend to the whims of a loud, angry minority.” Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation would also like a word. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The Centurion Project's voter surveillance tool was built by US political operatives with direct ties to the Trump regime. "Canada must act decisively and swiftly, elbows up." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli "An uninformed vote is a coerced vote." — Heather Marsh

IMO the UCP are driving Alberta to the edge of madness The only reason we are facing all this crap is because the separatists control the UCP and Smith wants to keep her job She's the most selfish POS I've ever come across #ableg #abpoli

I'm so f*cking angry with Smith, every single UCP MLA & the separatists

I think the Canadian federation will be unable to survive if we decide that federal-provincial politics will be conducted by governments walking around sticking shotguns in their mouths.

Hah, the question does indeed make the separatists happy!!!

Danielle Smith: since we're going to ignore the courts, we thought why not ignore the clarity act, too? the fuck lol #ableg #abpoli

"Simply put, Premier Danielle Smith and her party are beholden to the separatists who put them in power. Everything they do is subservient to that debt" The Confederacy of Treaty No. 6 First Nations condemns the plan of Premier Smith’s UCP government to move ahead with a separation referendum.

"In a triumph of the middling, in a nod to mediocrity... this rebuke to the exemplary gives hope to those unfavored by the exceptional..." Anyways... Here's Alberta's new cabinet ministers! (Not listed, Nate Glubish's additional role as Minister of Constituitional Disassembly.)

"The Government of Alberta cannot simply ignore the Constitution, ignore Treaty rights, and ignore the courts because it finds those obligations inconvenient. Cabinet is not above the law." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Premature Referendum is the name of my Led Zeppelin cover band.

Local woman trapped in unmapped minefield she built in her backyard.

Wow! While the committee is still deliberating on the #ForeverCanadian petition, government just issued a press release that the committee has already made a decision and recommended a referendum on separatism. Wow! Decision announced before it was made. A gong show? #ableg

The contempt for the judiciary is ramping up. And it’s coming directly from inside Alberta’s premiers office. Attempts like this to delegitimize the judiciary are a huge red flag for democracy and 100% the tools of authoritarians. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The most rigorous, precise, brilliant piece I have read on Albertan separatism. www.readtheline.ca/p/clarke-rie...

This is a great explanation of the recent court cases

Smith Must Resign! #abpoli

On the threat of Alberta separatism.

You will be shocked to learn that Alberta's separatist movement is suddenly *filled* with constitutional law experts, all of whom disagree with today's court decision.

No lies detected.
