What if a political party highlighted issues and favored solutions during an election campaign and, if they won, follow through on them ... not in #AB ... not with #UCP ... lets use cryptic referenda to bring our real agenda into play instead. #abpoli

Only have a window of 50 or 60 years to sell our only resource: OIL. If we don't get moving to get it all sold and money in the bank before market collapse then shame on us. We fail if any left in the ground. (No guarantee human life exists in 60 years but, heck, ya gotta go with what ya got) 😉

This is a must read for Albertans. It should be distributed in high school and university classrooms and reprinted in local newspapers. It dispels the grievance lie incessantly told by Premier Danielle Smith and the separatists about Alberta shipping money to Quebec and other provinces.

Good. Gotta test the law to show what else is needed. Gotta make the companies wake up and grasp their resposibilities in this area and correct themselves ... hell, maybe the result of the lawsuit will make them over-correct ... Just don't bury it and settle under the table.

Until the access block and patient flow are eased ($$$) not going to change ... And resource depletion through privitization adds fuel to the fire ...

From @maxfawcett.bsky.social ... Carney wants to keep all of us working together to preserve Canada, reconfigure our economy, strengthen our autonomy and elevate our relationship with the world ... it is a long game. (I shiver picturing how PP would guide us through this multi-faceted quagmire)

My belief is that history will be kind to Ed Stelmach, a man of principle. I hope this message will resonate with all kinds of Albertans whom I could never reach. #ableg #abpoli

While fashionably valid, I am so utilitarian this seems just frivolous...

Very nice description of what our Canada truly is ... where all Albertans can be proud to be a contributing partner of. #Albertan and #ForeverCanadian

"On this Canada Day, we must champion our Alberta values, proudly, joyfully. We must celebrate the land we cherish, in the country we love, and reclaim our story from those who neither honour our past nor grasp our potential." forwardweekly.ca/alberta-i-kn...

Worth reading if you are an #EdmontonOilers fan ... Heck, all of Cam's stuff is worth reading if you're human ...

The bold text in the final paragraph is 🔥.

Listen everyone ... PLEASE!

Nice idea ... but is there really an uninterrupted path to anywhere in this city during construction season? www.edmonton.ca/transportati...

O come on #SherwoodPark #RCMP! Really? $1500 ticket for dancing on the sidewalk!!?? Geez people ... cancel the ticket ... put a smile on your face ... and JOIN IN!! #StrathconaCounty youtu.be/mxExJEf7hOo?...

Thank you Dr. Parks! The actual truth from the front lines as #DeviousDani (and her cronies) continue to break down the health system for average Albertans.

WOW! This #UCP crew is dragging our province down into a dark dank domain of despicability. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

For some (me included) a C-Note is worth more than removing the gas tax for 3 months ... but that's not likely the case for most Albertans ... particularly in rural areas ... so what is Devious Dani doing? Follow the law ... drop the tax ... help more Albertans! #ableg #abpoli #DeviousDani #UCP

This is a commercial made with Nail Yakupov in 2013, his first year with Edmonton Oilers. Nail never found his place in the NHL and commercials like this definitely have no place in the hockey world of today. #NoMeansNo #WeBreedLions

"Ooo. If I weren't so insulted I might laugh. Instead, pardon me if I am outraged by Wednesday's announcement." #ableg #abpoli #DaniDiversion

I'm a sports fan ... not really into soccer ... BUT ... an accomplishment of this nature ... in any sport ... heck, in any endeavor of any kind ... is MONUMENTAL ... ¡Felicitaciones enormes! ¡Enhorabuena, leyenda! 👏👏👏 #FIFA

Sure why not? Dani Dollars while we're on a Resource Rollercoaster just a few months into her $9B budget deficit ... Yes, I know her idol Trump has jiggered the oil price significantly softening her deficit ... but the fiscal year is far from over ... ... I'll call it Dani Diversions instead.

#UCP cancelled the EMS rebranding ... guess they think it wasn't going to work. Alternative strategy? Gotta wait ... need to contract some more "consultants" to conjure up a new corporate path ... Really! JUST LISTEN TO THE MEDICAL SYSTEM EXPERTISE YOU ALREADY HAVE!!!! #AHS #ableg #abpoli

Respect is earned through character and conduct. Wab Kinew has earned it through strong leadership, personal accountability, and an ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His refreshing candour is increasingly rare in public life. Especially here in Alberta. #ABpoli #cdnpoli

Money can't buy everything ... @pfparks.bsky.social 🧵

👏👏👏

Every child matters ... don't ever forget ... 👏👏👏 Sharing link www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I hope the patient is doing alright in spite of the system's calamitous response ... I know his survival journey may just be beginning. But understand this: "if you had 50 Million in the bank, you'll sit and wait in the overflowing ED WR, with all the rest of them, with your chest pain"

Read this. Maybe it will help. Maybe enough of us can vote a difference this fall and get "a politics of dignity [that] makes it possible for every Albertan to live and participate in their community without fear of discrimination or exclusion." #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Alberta #saynotothenine

Perhaps Mr. Guilbeault was too blunt an instrument... rather than bashing the population over their use of fossil fuels... slide functional affordable clean alternatives on the table more and more... and they'll move themselves. David Roberts: "You gotta play the game that's being played" #cdnpoli

"Antisemitism breaks it. Islamophobia breaks it. Burning churches breaks it. Transphobia breaks it. The targeting of any Canadian for their faith, their origin, or their identity breaks it." This was a very good speech by PM Mark Carney. Strongly recommend reading or watching the whole thing.

#UCP first choice to improve EMS was to change the name? ALTA? Really? Realizing that won't be enough they add in long hallway dump sites ... Really? What will their "consultants" think of next? Who knows? Stupid is as stupid does ... Yes, really. #ahs #abpoli

Canadian Screen Awards 👏👏👏 Heated Rivalry cleaned up ... well deserved ... but my fave in the comedy category #NorthByNorth won a bunch too ... love that show ... can't wait for the next season! www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

"Alberta is doing an end run around the Constitution, depriving the most vulnerable of their Charter rights..." "It robs us all of the freedom to make fundamental choices about how we live—and how we die." Contentious issue but we all deserve the freedom to choose for ourselves ...

Hmmm ... as Dr. Bratt says it's probably a "non-starter" ... but now that the Order in Council for that referendum question has been issued it's probably time we began sharpening our swords ... #abpoli #yeg #cdnpoli #FoereverCanadian edmontonsun.com/news/local-n...

Ditto. Well said Senator Simons.

👏👏👏

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...

And consider subscribing ... 10 issues a year ... and all stuff about Alberta ... what's going on ... topics of interest ... and each issue has both for and against opinions on the feature topic .... along with oped's like this one from Senator Simons ... well worth it.

Forever Canadian I agree with their objectives. I support them. I like their spokesperson (he was my MLA for many years). BUT... I don't like their logo. WHY? #ForeverCanadian 1/6

Our #UCP world is so upside down ... two days of everyone ... MEDIA INCLUDED ... clucking over Danni's referendumb to see if we want another referendumb to see if we like AB in Canada ... while our HEALTHCARE is collapsing...really? Think it gets better if we leave Canada...or if we get rid of UCP?

Today was a weird one in Alberta. FTR: I am an Albertan. I am a Canadian. They are inseparable.

I am Canadian ... for me, that is acceptance, cooperation and freedom for all ... more specifically ... #ForeverCanadian 1/3

For all Alberta Canadians What is happening? How did we get here? What's next? How can we stay Canadian? A bit long but worth watching ... #ForeverCanadian #ableg #abgov #abpoli youtu.be/4V8Im_CG-ZU?...

Such a sad loss. edmontonjournal.com/news/cellist... All of us smile for you ... open.spotify.com/track/3hcxtX...

www.theglobeandmail.... Hey AB... our Premier likes to do press conferences on everything separation related... she's out there talking about how a judge doing their job is "undemocratic"...  But what does she have to say about Albertans dying in our ED WRs? 1/3

Under the #UCP, Alberta faces a crisis of direction. While separatist anger grows louder, public leadership has too often amplified division instead of strengthening unity. #ableg #abpoli #ForeverCanadian /1

#UCP fails true freedom in so many ways ... I support our libraries resistance to Bill 28. www.caplibraries.ca

🧵 Many resist surveillance and embrace anonymity ... for freedom ... NOT for subversion.

#UCP have surreptitiously managed a number of files ... burying, delaying, misdirecting ... but this one, even though their friends are involved, a PUBLIC INQURY is absolutely required. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
