Danielle Smith says Alberta should stay in Canada. So why does every political move feel like she’s trying to quietly unzip the country at the seams? Visit suddenlycanadian.ca and see how hard it is to make the maple leaf stick. 🇨🇦 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #ABVoice

I just listened to the first half hour of this. Not gonna lie: if @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social and @sphillipsab.bsky.social were to co-lead a political party, I’d quit my job to go help them any way I could. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

I can't believe I'm asking this, but is anyone else having trouble accessing the official Alberta Referendum website? albertareferendum2026.ca

Huge thank you to whoever registered albertareferendumb.ca and is forwarding it to my albertareferendumb2026.ca site. Didn't even think to grab that, you are a legend.

Are we solving the wrong problem? From permanent daylight saving to fertility costs to Alberta Next, decisions aren’t lining up with reality. Annalise Klingbeil and Leah Ward break down what’s being missed, and why it matters.

Stephen Carter’s radical healthcare views. Exposed.

An old clip of Avi Lewis mocking Shannon Phillips resurfaces, and suddenly the NDP leadership race gets interesting. Carter and Shannon break down activist politics vs governing politics and why the "Zohran model" doesn’t travel well to Canada.

Guy who wants to lead the federal NDP and hasn’t won a single election punching down on someone who’s won 3 elections as a New Democrat in Alberta 🙄 Clearly a vanity project for a vain champagne socialist.

In these hard times, weak men aren’t thinking enough about the Roman Empire

Temporary foreign workers pay into EI. Many never receive a dollar from it. If injured or too sick to work, they’re often sent home. They pay taxes into healthcare and education while their families aren’t even in Canada. So who’s subsidizing whom? Dr. Bragg explains:

Welcome to Balance of Power A fresh lens on the forces shaping Canada’s future This week: • Alberta’s immigration referendum • The economics of immigration and the labour market • Why facts often lose to political narratives • Guest: Dr. Bronwyn Bragg ▶ Watch now:

If this is a turning point, why isn’t business turning up?

Alberta separatists might look haphazard and kooky, but they have a path to turn a 20% issue into a real threat. 1 - Normalize separatism so it no longer feels toxic. 2 - Tie it to every grievance. 3 - Find a political dance partner. The U.S.A. They are now pushing all 3 at once.

@mmmegan.bsky.social Given Bonhomme's prominence in recent days, has The Beaverton Weekly Report booked you for the next show as a subject matter expert?

You can't predict what he will say, what he says doesn't predict what he will do, what we do is largely irrelevant (except for predictable rants at unpredictable intervals) and the US government has no influence. Just get on with doing what fits with our interests and values.

you’re all laughing but this is quite literally a slippery slope. what’s next? banana peels? ACME branded road molasses? A BLUE KOOPA SHELL??

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

You can’t look at this and tell me the Carney Liberals haven’t declared war on Christmas…

@alexboyd.bsky.social Do you happen to know what happened to the 3 part miniseries in the WoC library called "The Notorious N.E.P." recorded in Oct of 2020 I think? It's linked to at the top of this page: newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/not...
