The entanglement that is Canadian politics! I now find myself agreeing with Danielle Smith. The 14 MPs that feel strongly enough to sign a letter to the PM on “concern with government credibility” but the 14 don’t want to be identified? There’s a credibility issue for you! #ABleg #cdnpoli

As @acoyne.bsky.social said, Danielle Smith needs to be called out for double counting the Albertans seeking a referendum. #ForeverCanadian was purely a response to the separatists. There’s no stay in Canada petition underway in Nova Scotia. #Ableg #CDNpoli

Nate Horner, Matt Jones, Thomas Lukaszuk, Rebecca Shultz, and Pete Guthrie. Sounds like the making of solid leadership for a moderate conservative Alberta government not bound by Wildrose principles and backroom operators. #ABleg #Cdnpoli

The silence by a certain political slant on yesterday's disastrous meeting of the Citizen Initiative Proposal Review Committee is conspicuous. #ABLEG #ABPOLI

“Incredibly beautiful evening at Lake Louise, Alberta, where the vivid turquoise water stretches toward a snow-capped glacier framed by towering mountain peaks on either side.” 🇨🇦 Named after Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll TT: @matt_swack

Some days, I really miss being a political journalist in Alberta.

Cons in AB dont have a great record of patience. Kenney outed by his own party.Stelmach, own party. Redford, own party. And yes, Ralph (cue the gasp now) Klein was out'd by his own party. No separatist referendum in October, Smith will be hosting mid day radio by 2027. #ABleg #CDNPOLI

Alberta Separatists and Alberta Prosperity Project need to strongly relook the catastrophizing of all things Ottawa and genuinely re-evaluate the glamourizing of Klein and/or separation as a solution. #ABleg #CDNPOLI

"The greatest danger in times of turbulence ( Alberta Separation )is not the turbulence—it is to act with yesterday's logic," emphasizes that relying on past solutions for new, volatile problems is more dangerous than the crisis - Peter Drucker- Ralph Klein type policy is not a solution #ABleg

With separatists groups like Alberta Prosperity Project, Stay Free Alberta, and Take Back Alberta starting to turn on each other, yet all working in some degree directly or indirectly with Danielle Smith and the UCP, it’s going to be tough sledding to justify “United” in the party name. #ABleg

There’s been a huge data breach in Alberta. Government staffers were almost certainly aware of it. Jason Kenney is taking legal action for being put at risk. And Rick Bell is writing about…bike lanes. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

A group of more than 40 prominent scholars in Alberta are calling for a public inquiry into the voter list scandal. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/07/o...

Living next door to a Mexican grocery store has some of my favorite perks. Today’s is fresh homemade 14 inch tortillas for burritos tonight.

Bono famously said of the song Helter Skelter, "This is a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles... we're stealing it back," The Freedom Convoy stole the Canadian flag, and with a giant thanks to @lukaszukab.bsky.social and #ForeverCanadian they stole it back.

Now I know the number! 301,620 copies of Animal Farm. #ABPOLI #ABLEG

It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.

Danielle Smith wants to limit immigration in #Alberta and reduce provincial services for health care and education. Then in the next statement the premier wants oil production to hit 6 million barrels per day by 2030. I don’t see these two strategies intersecting. #ABPOLI #CDNPOLI

Can’t wait! GO CANADA! ❤️🇨🇦💪🔥

With @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social telling the VP to be better and go fuck a couch, that’s worth a follow. #Minneapolis

I think @profgalloway.com said it best. What does it look like when the top 1% are protected by the law but not bound by it. And what does it look like when the remaining 99% are bound by the same laws but not protected.

An Alberta musician just had his “republicans buy sneakers” moment. What was Dante’s take on indecision? … “ praise or blame and refused to take a stand—to the Vestibule of Hell” #ABPoli #CDNPoli

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

45 years ago today Sandinista! is the fourth studio album by English punk rock band the Clash, released on this day in 1980 as a triple album containing 36 tracks, with 6 songs on each side #punk #punks #punkrock #theclash #sandinista #history #punkrockhistory #otd

Love that the #DallasCowboys victory formation has a tip of the hat to Tom Landry with the O-line pre snap routine

Speaker Mike Johnson really ought to brush up on his Franz von Papen history.

Watching @dallascowboysnews.bsky.social and @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social on #MNF it’s always going to take some getting used to seeing anyone other than Tony Dorsett wearing #33 and Marcus Allen wearing #32

Andrew Scheer’s best CPC talking point for an MP floor crossing and a resignation is “ this came to a head from these liberal tactics” Looks like Jenni Byrne has got some heavy lifting in the next couple of days. #CNDPOLI

The CPC taking on water. First a floor crossing, the Bloc votes supporting the Liberals defeating Conservatives budget motion and now the resignation of Matt Jeneroux. #CDNPOLI

A prairie sunrise. Edmonton Alberta.

Still feeling the sting from that #WorldSeries game seven. The good news, MLB pitchers and catchers report February 20th. 107 days and counting.

Read and share widely. Your fundamental human rights are at stake.

Travel day before game 6 of the #WorldSeries , feels like the right time to watch The Natural. #RoyHobbs #SavoySpecial

Danielle Smith - UCP invokes the notwithstanding clause, 1st time in AB since 2000, closure motions to end debate which all but guarantees passing. Then jumps on a plane for the Middle East. This is not democracy at its best. #ABLEG
