'"We can't cede the conversation space. We need to be in the conversation," Hogan says of Albertans who like him oppose separation. "If we love this country, we need to fight for this country. And Albertans love this country, so it's time to stand up."' www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

“From 1981 to 2015, there were an average of 18 smoke hours per year in the city of Calgary. No year had over 100. Now we see hundreds of smoke hours routinely: 315 in 2017, 450 in 2018, 439 in 2021, 512 in 2023, and 2024 was ‘only’ 200.”

I like your cabinet. But I'm disappointed that Corey Hogan didn't get a position. Calgary rarely has representation in the federal government (yes, I understand it is because of how we vote), but Corey was elected, is competent and has good experience, and might tame some separatist noise.

@coreyhogan.ca has a long list of accomplishments & educational credentials, not the least of which is his former role at the UofC, but it's hilariously satisfying CTV decided to focus on "former AB senior official AND PODCAST HOST". Missing |knows @carterab.bsky.social" for a Chef's Kiss! #ableg

Hot take: Calgary Confederation is Canada's most interesting riding this election cycle. Star Liberal candidate Corey Hogan is in a neck and neck race with former UCP cabinet minister Jeremy Nixon. This riding has never elected a Liberal.

here's @coreyhogan.ca holding different fruits

I'm not kidding, Carney should immediately appoint Doug Ford to be Chief Negotiator for Canada and then call a federal election. Then, someone's in charge while nobody's in charge. Ford is far from perfect. But he innately understands Trump and he loves this country. He understands the assignment.

Corey Hogan has some thoughts about how many flags are appropriate as a backdrop. Download the whole ep wherever podcasts are found. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-strategists/id1514440943

If it were up to me and popular opinion didn’t count: 1) Curtail electricity and oil exports. 2) Non-tariff retaliation targeted at Trump and his circle (Ban Twitter & Tesla, cancel Trump trademarks, etc.) 3) Eliminate all remaining global tariffs and short term subsidies to setting up new markets.

I’m staggered by how many people have fallen for the propaganda from Trump. This isn’t about border security, it’s about power.
