Oh yeah, fer sure, bud.

Seniors in walkers are on the streets protesting healthcare cuts. We're at the midnight hour. It's going to take all of us. #abpoli

“RCMP say AI is being used to write police reports on everything from traffic tickets to serious offences — except major crimes including murder — in Alberta and British Columbia detachments in a pilot project.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... - CBC Edmonton #AI #ABLeg #BCPoli #PublicSafety

“Mercredi says First Nations have not given consent and will stop the referendum in any way they can, including getting in the way of industry, or, in his words, "getting out on the highway." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli nationalnewswatch.com/2026/06/04/f...

Third… it’s not about that: it’s about race. Power. And industry. Protest for me and my guys, but not for thee. Lest we forget. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

AI data centre projects like #WonderValley in Alberta "are not data centres in any familiar sense of the term,” writes Utah State University's Dr. Robert Davies. They're "Gigascale AI Smelters, smelting data and material strip-mined from people and planet.” www.theenergymix.com/breaking-ole...

The financial costs are the least of all costs of this ridiculous Bill. As others have pointed out, those who ban books are never the good guys.

These chuds are never going to acknowledge a win for the stay side, even if it’s a resounding one. They will keep agitating forever and ever amen. And the societal damage is done, thanks to a UCP government and a weak leader who bends to their special brand of political terrorism.

You either support Canada or you don't. This is not a hard question. Unless you are one of Danielle Smith's quisling brigade. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

And here is a deep dive, via podcast.

Here’s a quick primer

Let’s remember that we also need to say NO to the nine noxious referendum questions. Proud to add my name to this open letter. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Alberta #saynotothenine

Do read Jared's piece. The feelings he talks about are complex, multi-faceted and hard to measure. Based on our own imperfect way of capturing those feelings (the resentment index), it does seem like one group of Albertans is warming up to the Federation while the other hasn't moved one bit.

While we are all distracted by Dani's separatist crap... ‘Pandora’s box’: Smith and insurance giants unleash attack on healthcare Danielle Smith is working hand-in-glove with private insurers to push health privatization in Alberta—and it could spread across Canada breachmedia.ca/pandoras-box...

There are some good points here. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m having trouble mustering any empathy for a province I have spent my entire life in, one that has been steeped in high wages and repeated windfalls of royalties. Were there tough times? Sure. But the peaks more than made up for them.

Hey Alberta you now have to renew your health card to get access so good luck people with disabilities or in poverty. Danielle would rather you were dead #ableg

"Amendments to the Health Insurance Premiums Act will add a new requirement for Alberta residents to regularly renew their health card in order to remain eligible to receive insured services from the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan." medicinehatnews.com/news/local-n...

Just wait until Martha can't get her license renewed because her birth certificate doesn't match her current license and she lost her marriage certificate. Or Henry can't use his paper health card and has to pay for his once-a-decade doctor's appointment. This hurts the UCP base, too.

And even these preliminary numbers don’t yet factor in massive federal transfers and expenses that are the responsibility of an independent country. Watch her team keep the total under $500B to appease the seppies and their “promised loan” of $500B from the US government.

Due to “anti-indigenous rhetoric and politically motivated harassment”… The Blackfoot Confederacy has issued a Community Safety Notice. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

In summary: no Forever Canadian sought to avoid the uncertainty and damage of a separatist referendum and that’s part of why it was done under the higher bar (less time & more signatures required).

Memo from the Separatist Damned If You Do Damned If You Don’t Department: If Ottawa short-changes Québec/Alberta on federal funding, whine. If Ottawa spends liberally in your province, whine even louder. 🍁🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼🍁

Reporter - You keep saying 700,000 signatures but the separatists petition hasn't been validated... Smith - Ok yeah, but Forever Canadian still got a bunch, and anyways if you still want to send Ottawa a message you should support my 9 questions! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

A “sad day” indeed! 😡 Libraries are not only for lending books — they’re community hubs, & places of learning, socializing, safety…

"As Project 2025 has done in the US, the Free Alberta Strategy has begun to fundamentally alter Alberta politics and society. It’s a reckless and anti-democratic plan that seems hell-bent on destroying Canada." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli albertaviews.ca/shakedown-fe...

Remember Danielle Smith got her education at the UofC that where the Alberta Firewall concept was developed. The concepts that turned into the Free Alberta Strategy came from Stephen Harper’s letter. #ABpoli #CDNpoli

These fantasy pipeline routes look like Alberta gave a child some crayons and a map. Absolute ignorance. What fucking joke. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Smith today.. 'Well look, the courts have said that Elections Alberta can't validate the separatists petition, so I just have to take it on good faith that they got the number of signatures they said'. Not like there's any reason to be concerned... Cough data leak cough.

Wilson and Rath have repeatedly said they will rely on these paragraphs 154 and 155 of Quebec secession reference to pursue secession with USA recognition. These folks don’t give a damn if this is binding or not. The rush is the opportunity with Trump. We will have a Jan6 moment, courtesy of Dani.

Is Political Polarization Driving Health Disparities in the U.S.? conscienhealth.org/2026/05/30/i... Spoiler: Yep, conservatives increasingly at risk. Increasingly, "trust is politically polarized. That is a health problem, not merely a political one."

Alberta oil and gas production has gone through the roof, royalty revenues have cratered. Alberta is giving away our most valuable asset for pennies on the dollar, and that's not Ottawa's fault. If conservatives really believe in running government like a business, they should be fired. #ABPoli

“The leader of Alberta’s main separatist group is organizing to force either a leadership review of Premier Danielle Smith, or for her United Conservative Party to demand a different referendum question” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The disconnect illustrated here is Trumpian. Premier Danielle Smith posts about "hearing different perspectives" about "the future we're building together" at the home of a multi-millionaire Calgary developer. Meanwhile, a 94-year-old Lethbridge senior is waiting four days for emergency hip surgery.

Wherein Danielle Smith openly states that she believes that the courts should "be deferential" to her intent and interpretations of the law. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Albertan Canadians don’t need to be reminded, but the rest of 🇨🇦Canada does: Alberta secessionists are 🇺🇸MAGA quislings, largely of the nutbar “Christian” fundamentalist variety. 🇨🇦🙄🇨🇦

From 1970 to 1992, the Canada Fitness Award Program pushed Canadian youth to focus on health and fitness. An entire generation of Canadian children have memories (some good, some bad) of taking part in the program. This is the story. 📸 Reditt (ipini) 🧵 1/10

"As the name suggests, the point of these rapid fire massive changes is precisely that: to shock us, to put us in a state of overwhelm where we don't know which fight to take on first. And we get paralyzed as the speed and scope of change wash over us." Lewis then lays it out. #CdnPoli

Very insightful analysis here of Danielle Smith, Canada's Nigel Farage in waiting. A must read.

Doug Ford said he’d never use a government plane. Now records show he’s been increasingly flying private on the public dime - long before the $29 million gravy plane scandal exploded. #onpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

Danielle Smith is so unbelievably full of shit
