“Democracy & justice in Alberta are being threatened. Alberta is being abused by its own government much the same way the United States of America is being abused by its current president.” Over 180 Lawyers have penned an open letter calling out Smith’s attack on the law. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Participation is important. Resistance is important. PROTESTS, PETITIONS, LETTERS (to media and government members), AND VOTE,VOTE,VOTE

I'm a 4th generation Albertan and Canadian and it breaks my heart that the legacies of my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents (who arrived here before Alberta even existed) is under threat by the separatists. I've never felt this angry in the 72 years I've been alive in this province.

TRAITORS! This is a quote from when Rath appeared on Fox & Friends on March 6, 2025. He said that he and his “delegation were there to explore the benefits of becoming an independent sovereign nation with economic union to the United States, becoming a US territory or pursuing full statehood.”

On her Saturday radio show, Premier Danielle Smith said she wishes she could 'direct the judges.' In response Alberta chief justices from all three levels of the court system have issued a rare public message underlining the importance of judicial independence.

Rath, one of the leaders behind the separatist movement, bragging about getting Alberta a 500 billion dollar line of credit from the USofA if we join them?? Hahaha fat chance of that.

The CONServatives get so CONfused with facts and truth. I think they are allergic to thinking intelligently

When I first read these novels in the 70s and 80s they were FICTION. In 2026 I am living in a world exactly as foreseen by these authors. God help us all. Orwell's 1984 Huxley's Brave New World Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale Orwell's Animal Farm Golding's Lord of the Flies

A state of fear drives the conservative movements in our society now. Fear of people of colour, socialists and communists and atheists, fear of liberals and homosexuals and transsexuals, fear of immigrants, fear of change, fear of science.

The Alberta separatists are being bamboozled. UCP supporters are being bamboozled. Supporters of PeePee PoiLIEevre are being bamboozled. Please wake up and reject the lies and distortions you are being exposed to...

An affidavit by a national security expert… Is sounding the alarm that the separatist petition is not only extremely vulnerable to foreign interference from the US… “It is, without resorting to a crystal ball, foreseeable” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Piers Morgan, a British broadcaster, weighs in on Trumpian threats to Greenland

They are speaking as an Australian but as a Canadian these words also speak for me

Geography is obviously not his strong suit

And so it begins...

HEY SEPARATISTS!!!

Illegal invasion of Venezuela, a very public murder of a US citizen by federal agents, threats to the sovereignty of Panama, Greenland, Cuba, Columbia and Canada, ignoring the US Constitution, Courts of Law, Congress and Senate. The death of democracy in the USofA.
