Nothing says excellent judgment like pardoning 1,600 people and then watching about 1 in 16 promptly get arrested again for everything from DUIs to homicide. But sure, these are “great people," just with a habit of committing crimes once the consequences are removed. newrepublic.com/post/211391/...

Let’s remember that we also need to say NO to the nine noxious referendum questions. Proud to add my name to this open letter. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Alberta #saynotothenine

Most Albertans were shocked to learn the limitations on privacy law.

Everyone Who Disagrees With Me Is Funded By And/Or Linked To The NDP, part 70,849 Feat. celebrity millionaire W. Brett Wilson

Danielle Smith got a reality check from Wab Kinew at last week's Western Premiers' Conference. It's not the only one coming for Conservative politicians who refuse to learn what the duty to consult really means -- and why it matters. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/06/05/o...

If the premier wanted this to look above board and impartial, she would have picked from the many retired judges who don't have a recent history of donating to political party. Instead, we get this:

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing

Angriest, most obviously miserable president of ny lifetime at 1am last night. EVERY accusation is a confession.

It should come as no surprise that a Postmedia pundit is writing a paen to pipelines (and authoritarian regimes that build them more quickly).

Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa are mostly manufactured, always exaggerated and, often, completely illusory. Now it's time for the people who spent the last decade amplifying and weaponizing them to put out the fire they helped create. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...

People underestimate how politically toxic Trump’s record is. It’ll only get more unpopular. In 2028, anyone who worked in his administration will have to answer for the corruption, chaos, and economic damage they left behind. This goes for Vance, and Rubio too. They own this.

trump has posted 21 times on TruthSocial this morning. Not one of the posts has any substance. The President shows no signs of sanity.

Someone in the premier's office has to explain how holding a referendum on separation helps you achieve any of these other goals. Is it a knife-to-the-throat strategy? That's the only way it makes sense. Because a separation vote wastes any goodwill necessary to achieve these amendments.

The Trump capitulation on Iran is one of the worst military executions in our history Trump accomplished nothing and no matter how he spins it the fact that he made a colossal mistake will never be undone Trump is an idiot

If over half the country accused you of being a child rapist and you had the power and ability to release all the Epstein files to prove that you weren't, wouldn't you release them? Obama had to release proof that he was an American, so why can't Trump release proof that he's not a pedophile?

Our government telling an adversary to disregard the President's social media posts because they're not real and are intended for promotional purposes and US media consumption, says it all. Holy fuck.

The fruits of a system that makes affordable parking mandatory and affordable housing illegal. Means-tested free parking -- the vehicle owner can't use it unless they also own a house. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/u...

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be prosecuted as well.

Yeh, all that's left to give it a simple fuck you...

Can we all now agree that running the government like a business was an incredibly stupid idea?

The stakes in this referendum are too high to sit it out. We need to build a solid case, not just for staying put, but for a stronger Alberta within a better Canada. That's why I'm joining other prominent conservatives in making the case for Alberta to lead, not leave. www.leadnotleave.ca

Just consider, if you will: Every President starting with Jimmy Carter has been audited Every Year while in office. It's one of the reforms made after Watergate, to prevent corruption. And Combover Caligula wants to make it impossible to audit him or his family forever

No you don’t understand, this $25 billion for the country we inexplicably attacked means we won super hard

www.cnn.com/2026/05/24/p... Redistricting frenzy across Republican-controlled Southern states threatens to resurrect some of the gravest racial injustices in American political history.

Drunkard rapist scumbag Pete Hegseth addresses West Point graduates with his stupid racist bullshit and says “diversity cannot be tolerated in our formations." It enrages me that we went from a highly decorated black 4-star General leading the Pentagon to this Nazi piece of shit.

If the reports are true, Trump agreeing to allow Iran to keep its enriched uranium would be a total American surrender. What an abject humiliation for the United States in front of the entire world. Trump’s weakness and failure on full display.

@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

Jacobs: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is very clear. After 60 days, the president is required to withdraw troops from hostilities unless Congress acts. Congress has not acted, and yet it is day 73 and my constituents are still in the region.

It's full on rewriting of history. Soon, they will push for changes to textbooks like right-wingers did circa 2010, seeking to replace the civil rights movement with Phyllis Schlafly and Newt Gingrich.

Who is writing government policy? This clarification is coming from the United Conservative Party President. Is it authoritative? Who knows.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Danielle Smith the #DitchBillyPremier

How about we just follow this rule that a convicted felon can’t actually be president of the United States

Danielle Smith vows to do everything humanly possible to keep Alberta in Canada – over and over and over again. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. albertapolitics.ca/2026/05/dani... #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Man accused of doxxing nearly 3 million people would like you to know that it feels weird knowing so many strangers are mad at him

Danielle Smith called for the losing side of this referendum to “accept the judgement of people and the direction that we go.” That’s unlikely. This referendum is guaranteed to string out this debate. daveberta.substack.com/p/danielle-s...

Just complete nonsense. The federal NDP and Bloc Quebecois are not "fringe parties" -- they win dozens of seats every election. The Alberta separatists have never won a single one federally, and only one at the provincial level. And yet, the premier is allowing them to dictate her entire agenda.

Holding a separation referendum in hopes it loses and the movement withers away, eh, Premier Smith? Ask a Brit or Quebecer how that turns out. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... by me

Needing to win by 4 points nationally to get a bare majority in the House of Representatives due to partisan gerrymandering is (1) unfair, (2) a sign of America’s democratic backsliding, and importantly (3) doable.

Somebody knows that a deal is coming.

He still doesn't get it. And he's still doing the "your grievances are completely legitimate" routine that built all the kindling that sparked this fire. #abpoli youtu.be/wFoQJ0McL7g?...

Horse gone; barn door now shut: Elections Alberta issues 568 cease and desist letters. albertapolitics.ca/2026/05/hors...

My take on the BS from Alberta separatists: thewalrus.ca/albertas-sep... So many harmful lies. For example, there is nothing subtle about how Alberta separatists scapegoat immigrants. To call this language a dog whistle is an insult to dog whistles. And the embrace of the "cowboy" myth?

On this, yes, trying to access the latest boundaries commission website redirects you to Elections Alberta's main website. However, the commission feedback and reports *are* available on Elections AB's website: www.elections.ab.ca/resources/re...

Whether we Canadians like it or not, Pierre Poilievre is waiting around for us to come to our senses and vote for him. albertapolitics.ca/2026/04/whet... #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

I liked things better when we didn't know what the president was doing every 20 minutes.

I think we can all agree that we've taken this whole "anybody can be president" thing too far.

It’s the parents’ fault, you see. Just an epically tone-deaf take from someone who seems to draw more lessons from early-80s court cases than the growing literature on the dangers of social media. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
