In case there were any doubts, the US is funding Alberta separatism.

Proud to call him our Prime Minister.

Tbh his speech really laid out from the first words that it’s about more than Trump. He’s talking about the dangers of relying on one big country, pretending that’s safe, and he’s laying out that it’s inevitable that any such superpower would throw off its restraints.

My remarks at tonight's invited lecture at the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada. High-level takeaway: federalists should be pragmatic, purposeful, and prepared for the probable referendum on Alberta sovereignty. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

Must listen!

Does anyone happen to know what the signs of whiplash are?

Great 🧵 from Victoria MP Will Greaves

Big week in Victoria: Federal Health Minister Marjorie Michel and BC Health Minister Josie Osborne, a major housing announcement, China trade news — and something extra. Here’s this week’s Weekly Wrap. #yyj youtu.be/43ipKSFEG3U?...

Just what we need 🇺🇸 MAGA meets with Stephen Harper! PP’s boss getting the Conservatives principle messaging for PP’s Leadership campaign. Go 🖕🏼🤬

The smell of sharpening skates takes me right back to my days at the rink growing up. Thanks to B-Sharp, a local staple in Nepean, for letting me take a turn behind the machine.

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all this separatist stuff heated up during the rise of a fascist American state. Totally reasonable… 🤷🏼‍♂️😉

Danielle Smith is the Serena Joy of Canada. #RecallDanielleSmith #RecallTheUCP #alberta #abpoli #cdnpoli #vivelaresistance

Count Down!

I can’t imagine how scared people are in the EDs in AB right now. But I know walking outside, driving a car, getting up on a ladder at home… I think about safety a lot. I know if I need to call 911, there may not be help coming for a while, treatment likely delayed in EDs. Healthcare in Smith’s AB.

Whoever made this, I see you & I ❤️ you!!!

31 years ago tonight I asked my husband to marry me. Still celebrating that he (eventually) said yes 🥂

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Tonight, people will reflect on the year we’ve been through and look forward to the one ahead. As we say goodbye to the past year, let’s welcome the new one with confidence and with hope, knowing that together we can keep building a stronger, brighter future for BC. news.gov.bc.ca/33190

CBC has put together an impressive collection of clips exposing Diagolon and Second Sons in their own words. These are white nationalists and neo-Nazis who want an ethnic cleansing and believe "violence is the answer." Largest group of its kind in Canadian history. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

It sure would be nice if the Premier of Alberta would call out this treasonous behaviour by one of her own party members for what it is.

The UCP has made 2025 one of the darkest years for Alberta’s democracy. Albertans can turn on the lights in 2026. By simply being Albertan. Let me explain. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

‘Political death spiral’ 🍸🍸🍷🍷 Cheers! #NeverPoilievre

Woohoo !!! Another conservative MP who knows a good thing when he see's it! Now, Just one more and Xmas will be perfect! www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Things aren’t going to well for 🇨🇦 top 2 Conservative Politicians PP & Dani. Schucks 🤣🤪😂

The Constitution left us a safeguard for moments when premiers push too far. The question is: Does the federal government have the courage to use it? youtube.com/shorts/VwNFp...

Years ago, I warned that Danielle Smith would run out of enemies in political realm and turn her sights on the courts. Her latest attacks aren't some high-minded philosophical critique of judicial supremacy. They're pure populist pablum, specially crafted to remove yet another check on her power.

Alberta!

The Lethbridge Herald published a puzzling piece today about the Recall for MLA Nathan Neudorf. Is it possible that a buddy applied for recall as a way to impede an honest recall petition? Yikes.

PM Carney says his government is committed to end remaining 38 boil-water advisories on reserve, and announces first-ever joint First Ministers’ Meeting with First Nations — where AFN leaders will set the agenda.

Late to this, but this is just fantastic reporting and context. There are so many alarm bells and blinking red lights in here, and if you read carefully you can see what sure seems like the potential litigiousness of the subjects being handled with care, duty, and facts.

The PM was applauded vt.tiktok.com/ZSftdKAn2/

I know a lot of people who need to read this. Organize!

It has now been a year since I stopped posting on X. For @spitfirenews.com, I wrote about watching the platform I loved become a conduit for the worst extremism I've ever witnessed. I don't regret leaving. In fact, I wish I'd left even earlier. spitfirenews.com/p/x-bluesky-...

This week marked the end of my dear friend Bob Rae’s tenure at the United Nations. It has been an honour to work alongside you. Thank you for your hard work, your leadership, and all that you have done for Canada and Canadians.

It’s been 10 years of the First Nations Leadership Gathering — and this year’s was the largest yet. This week, more than 1200 meetings took place between First Nations from across BC and the provincial government. It’s an opportunity to listen, learn and find ways to make a meaningful difference.
