IMO The reality of Alberta separation is wildly different than the picture painted by the separatists The land mass of Alberta won't be the same after separations Canada owns - Banff Jasper Waterton Elk Island & Wood Buffalo & FN own huge parts of Alberta & have a binding international treaty #ableg

What? I have a question. Wouldn't a new question require a new referendum? Not a lawyer and haven't read the legislation carefully, but signatures are being collected to support a referendum on a specific, proposed question, not a question that Amery pulls out of his ass.

$250/barrel by next wednesday. $15/gallon, rationed gasoline. the total collapse of car culture and the suburban lifestyle. get ready to take the fuckin' bus folks

One Calgary councillor’s surprising protest against ​‘special treatment’ for wealthy neighbourhoods #yyccc

#yycbike, it's first ride on the new bike day. Marin Four Corners 2, in what Steve at Cactus Bike and Ski described as a freakishly huge XL. They call it a drop bar bike - 21 mounting points, 44mm tires, super comfy riding position. With a taller seatpost my 6'9" son will love it.

NBD, it's just @ratliw.bsky.social stirring up shit again 😁 livewirecalgary.com/2026/03/05/s...

In the face of a double-digit Liberal lead, Pierre Poilievre is rolling out a new political approach that includes respect for his opponents and time for the mainstream media. How long will it last? Grab that head of lettuce and start the clock. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/05/o...

Just 1 in 4 Albertans back independence (26%), while nearly two thirds oppose it (64%). Yet a majority (53%) think Premier Smith would vote to separate. The politics of perception may matter more than the numbers. #ableg Details: abacusdata.ca/alberta-ind...

Important #ForeverCanadian press conference and announcement tomorrow (Thursday) at La Cité Francophone in Edmonton at 10 am. Our Forever Canadian movement is ready to fight for Alberta’s future in Canada. #ableg #cdnpoli

@paulisci.bsky.social fish doorbell?

I love when people reminisce about the 60s as a more innocent time.

Bathtub Bikes 2nd location The Hub Community Bike Shop a partnership with Youth en Route is planning to open around March 17. This will be a shared community bike space where anyone can come work on their bike daily. ✅ Tools ✅ Guidance ✅ Community access Just a $20 yearly membership + waiver.

Did you know? The Provincial government has increased their property taxes on Calgarians by 57% over four years, well above inflation and population growth. They're now imposing the largest property tax increase in Calgary's history with a 21% hike, or about $350 for the typical family.

Come sign the petition in-store this Saturday 11am-5pm. Details here -> www.waternotcoal.ca/sign-the-pet...

"We will not sit back and watch as this government lays out the welcome mat for making Alberta the 51st State in breach of our Treaties." Mikisew Cree First Nation has filed a lawsuit for Danielle Smith’s flagrant disregard for Treaties. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

Enough is enough, Premier. Albertans see right through these distractions. Cut the bullshit. Call the election. youtube.com/shorts/RnRaw...

Hey it’s me, a racialized person born in Alberta to an immigrant parent, with trans and queer friends, saying that the UCP does not get to determine who belongs here. All of us, and the Albertans yet to come, deserve to be here. And we must stand with Indigenous people to honour treaty promises.

Beginning March 9, we are moving forward with planned reinforcements to support the stability of the current Bearspaw South Feeder Main. Outdoor water restrictions and indoor water conservation will be in required to complete the necessary work Learn more at calgary.ca/bsfmreinforcements.

Danielle Smith is rascist. The UCP as an entity is rascist. 100% of the UCP caucus is rascist. Anyone who supports or votes for the UCP is rascist, and the racism isn't even the worst thing about UCP supporters.

This is the heart of the UCP, and it is exactly what most UCP supporters believe. Simply MAGA without the brownshirts (unless they do create the APP).

This genuinely is the CPC. Not yet 100% MAGA separatist collaborators and Quislings like the UCP in Alberta, but it is absolutely the direction they will go. Wonder if Jivani has access to any useful info to pass along to the US, or if he is just arranging for dirty money for CPC coffers.

NEW: City of Calgary is closing the WB exit ramp from 16 Ave to Sarcee Trail after wire snaps were detected on the Bearspaw Feeder Main.

oh is that what they mean by a Faustian bargain

Driver’s pledge: I won’t use my phone while driving b/c I could kill somebody Pedestrian pledge: I’ll stay focused in crosswalks b/c we know drivers won’t follow their pledge. #Cargary

New edition of The Sprawl kicks off today! We're going to look at how hosting the Olympics—and not hosting 2026—has shaped Calgary. But we're also planning some fun in-person pop-ups. Stay tuned for more details on Analog Week!

First, the UCP said there was an “election integrity crisis," which led to a voter ID law. Then a “national unity crisis” → a sovereignty referendum. Now a “crisis of confidence” in the courts → defunding judges. There is no evidence of these crises. The UCP is trying to manufacture them.

A bleak day in the news biz. Support local journalism, folks. @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social and @livewirecalgary.bsky.social are out here working hard for Calgarians. It's easy to take local journalism for granted but I urge you: please don't.

She keeps getting chances to show some loyalty to Canada -- and keeps turning them away in order to defend Alberta separatists and their cause. It's who she is. It's time we all started saying it. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/02/o...

Translation: “I can’t say I’m for Canada or my caucus will stab me in the back.”

Hey, look at a leaping cat instead of doom scrolling.

This is who the separatists are. Huge thanks to my colleague @arnokopecky.bsky.social for getting that on the record. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/29/n...

In case you wondered who’s on whose side. “Eby accuses Alberta separatists of ‘treason’ for meeting with U.S. officials” “Alberta Premier Danielle Smith did not stop to speak with reporters Thursday on her way into the meeting.” #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

My name is Craig Baird. I was born in Calgary, and raised on a rural Alberta acreage surrounded by farms. I have lived most of my life in Alberta, and I still live in the province. But I am Canadian first and Albertan second. I will never support Alberta separation.

1/ I am more than happy to sign a pledge, affirming to my constituents in Calgary-Glenmore that I oppose the separation of Alberta from Canada.

This is stepping up. We all need to look at what we will do to actively fight against Danielle Smith, TBA, and MAGA.

The front page of Alberta Courts website is now joint statement by chief justices of all three court levels, proclaiming the importance of judicial independence. albertacourts.ca

Comes a few weeks after Danielle Smith derided courts as "gatekeepers" getting in way of democracy, and used legislation to quash judge's ruling on validity of separatist referendum. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Most of us aren’t panicking. We’re just tired of things feeling so fragile. Riding your bike to work won’t fix the world. But it will fix Tuesday morning. #transportnotsport #thingsthatalwayswork #heretoserve

Danielle Smith and the UCP are a direct threat to Canada. They see Minneapolis with delight and think Calgary and Edmonton.

Dear @paulbrandt1.bsky.social CTV is reporting that you are cheering on those who would break up our country. You should come clean with Canadians. If you are cheering the quislings, stop cashing in on our beautiful flag.

How about the UCP response? Proactive surrender followed by active support.

This is what Alberta separatists stand for. If you want to put an end to this treason, please sign up as #ForeverCanadian supporter at: Forever-Canadian.ca This will allow us to organize and communicate with you. #ableg #cdnpoli
