Kid Rock?

Jordan is exactly right on this. The Feds can continue to bend over backwards to appease Smith, but it'll never be enough. On the flip side... Smith will bend over backwards to appease the separatists, in order to keep her job, but it'll never be enough

Premier Smith's energy rebate wants all your private info, meanwhile PEI's benefit is automatic. "No one needs to apply for this benefit" "No one will be asking for your banking details or anything else" "You don't need to do anything other than meet the eligibility req's" #ableg #abpoli

But what we’re seeing is the bill that’s racking up that taxpayers are on the hook for — when there’s an industry that can very well pay for it, and is unwilling to because they know they have a government that will backstop it. thenarwhal.ca/three-pipeli...

We already know the West Coast pipeline will be 90% taxpayer funded. What about the barrels to fill it? For years, oilsands companies have focused on profits, not new production. Premier Smith is considering incentives to change that—meaning more public dollars may soon be on the table.

Corb Lund needs to take immediate legal action. This does not inspire confidence in Elections Alberta, which already has a history of questionable decisions. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Does anyone trust Meta? Anyone trust Danielle Smith? No environmental impact assessment? Gas companies will get rich on data centres. Everyone else... not so much.

Looking forward to the same scrutiny and criticism from right wing pundits and their media machine they gave to Mamdani's New York city-run grocery stores.

The absolute bullshit mythology that Jason Kenney, Danielle Smith, and the whole of the federal Conservative caucus have pushed, and that legacy media has largely credulously swallowed is just amazing.

Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift. He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early. The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.

"How did NATO end, daddy?" "Well, you see, Belgium beat the USA in the World Cup..."

Is there a less imaginative fan base than the Americans? U-S-A, U-S-A on repeat is like nails on a chalkboard.

Correct your priors: Private money is going after clean energy, governments are using public money to prop up fossil fuels "About 59% of all money spent on the fossil fuel system came from taxpayers in 2015. By 2025, that climbed to 68% and spiked at 78% in 2022." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

This man has more courage than all of these masked cowards combined.

Plans for the largest data center in the world have been abandoned. Blackstone-owned QTS has decided not to appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, giving up on the world’s largest data center. Fierce opposition and organizing from residents of Price William County ultimately beat out Blackstone.

FUCKING YESS! Get in you lions!

GET IN!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Everything you need to know about the American owned media in Canada. The senior editor of the National Post whining that we aren't American.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

In the 24 hours since Taylor and Travis tied the knot in his home city, Zohran Mamdani has not held a single solo press conference.

Building an oil pipeline today means betting on decades of future demand. And with countries accelerating their #CleanEnergy transitions and reducing oil dependence, Canadians should be asking whether this is the best place to put taxpayer $. #cdnpoli More in @theenergymix.com ➡️ buff.ly/f66fzYY

Officials announce new AI Data Centres to calculate why heat dome happening

"Public money will subsidize huge oil companies to expand the oil sands because their American shareholders prefer to suck out as much money as possible in dividends and share buybacks rather than invest in the future." Making American billionaires richer again.

My goodness... what a strike!

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

The Rest is History has a great series on America's founding fathers that puts a lot of myths to bed. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

The private sector isn’t going to pay for a new oil pipeline or the production to fill it. ❌💰 With planned tune-ups of existing pipes, capacity is well above planned production increases. 📈 This pipeline is about politics — not economics. #cdnpoli #abpoli

"United States data centers generating their own power could emit the same amount of greenhouse gases as the nation of Australia, according to a new analysis by an environmental watchdog group looking at proposed projects."

Expectations for today's pipeline announcement (which has apparently been delayed): a fig-leaf private sector proponent whose risk/investment will be covered, in some way, by the Alberta government and taxpayers. Still waiting for firm declarations of intent from shippers, which is what matters.

Property tax bills are due today. Imagine if Ottawa forced Alberta to collect a big tax hike on provincial letterhead. That's how municipalities are treated with Province's 57% property tax increase over four years. It's time to keep property taxes local with clear accountability & transparency.

Socialism for the oil industry but capitalism for AISH recipients in Alberta.

Oil lobbyists last favour to oil and gas companies before she gets the boot in the fall?

A massive backlash against AI, data centres, and the tech CEOs who keep pushing those technologies is clearly brewing in the United States. Like most things, it'll come here in due course. Our tech sector leaders don't seem to have a clue. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/06/29/o...

Personally, I'd love if PP was Conservative leader forever. But, it's telling that he lost a winnable election, lost his seat, parachuted into Northern Alberta, sees how terrible his numbers are, and yet, still soldiers on instead of stepping down to improve the chances of his party.

Sounds like good times to me.

Corb Lund: “I requested to have editorial control over the framing of my question and she looked me in the eye and said well, we have a particular outcome we want for these questions so we frame them a certain way.” WOW there it is

No, Rachel Notley didn't ban coal mining on the Eastern slopes. That was uh Peter Lougheed. Chatted with Drew Anderson of the Narwhal to help sort out fact from fiction on the history and possible future of coal mining in Alberta. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

Data centre proponents say facility will run on solar power and all of Lake Superior

According to their own rudimentary projections, separatists will need to renegotiate all of the economic ties with the rest of Canada and its trading partners in order to remain a functioning state. From scratch. As a lone party vs many. Without making a single concession. This is their "plan."

Alberta's government has been flip-flopping on its coal mining policies for years. Now, a citizen petition is calling for a ban on new mines. With three coal mines operating in the province, and at least three more in development, here's where things stand right now: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-coal...

I saw this referred to as the Strait of Warm Ooze. Very good.

"regulatory certainty is the bedrock of private investment" is an incredible statement from the premier who personally wrote and added a separation referendum referendum to the other 9 referendums this fall

It's only a matter of time until UCP MLAs go on a hunger strike until the City of Calgary allows Cowboys to play music for two hours later.

Imagine a world in which Danielle Smith would be as compelled to go to bat for AISH recipients, First Nations, patients on waitlists, folks who are struggling to pay rising auto insurance rates, ranchers who don't want poison in their water, public school teachers, etc. etc. as she has for Cowboys.

New inflation data out today and wow what can you say about these Alberta car insurance rates other than ... wow. 😳

Don't worry, everyone. We have only two provincial ministers focused on micromanaging Calgary Stampede. That leaves 24 other ministers to focus on other municipal issues, like bike lanes, LRT routes, and taxes.
