@MichelleLA1981 Senior here. More particularly, Alberta Senior Who has never voted Liberal And never will.. Cuz Aberta Seniors remember the NEP.

Canada is in a recession because of liberals. How is this even possible?

@stackerco Nay, verily. ( I love talking in Mormon)

Can you believe in the Book of Mormon without believing its message that God gave some people dark skin so they wouldn’t be attractive to white people?

@Ch_JesusChrist And I'll bet not one has seen a Lamanite, or can explain the Synoptic problem.

@Nikki_sphinxed Another LDS white Jesus..... And here I thought Jesus was a Palestinian Jew.

“God’s grace is not an expensive airline ticket that requires us to wait in line for a seat. We can receive it here and now.” Dieter F. Uchtdorf

@LilyWhite4674 And some things they say about him are correct.

Joseph Smith is trending. If someone isn’t willing to read everything they can find about him and then decide for themselves instead of listening to handed down stories like Chinese telephone, it doesn’t make sense to pass judgment. The things some ppl say about him are incorrect

@Reil76 I heard a guy on TV living in Montreal cheering for Morocco against Canada in the recent game He said Morocco would always be home and number 1 for him, and Canada would be second. I mean, how Canadian (and downright idiotic) is that?!

Canadian culture isn’t built on one ethnicity, one religion, or one language. It’s built on respect, democracy, the rule of law, looking out for your neighbours, and the belief that people from every corner of the world can build a life together. It’s Indigenous history. French and English heritage. New Canadians adding their own traditions without taking away from anyone else’s. It’s hockey rinks, powwows, maple syrup, poutine, Céline Dion, Leonard Cohen, summer at the cottage, Tim Hortons runs, saying sorry when someone bumps into you, and standing in line without trying to cut. Canadian culture isn’t about where you came from. It’s about choosing Canada, contributing to it, and protecting what makes it worth calling home. Give me one thing that means Canadian culture to you!

@guyfelicella Like the Liberals when they were in opposition. Funny how that works...

Is this just me? I'm also starting to think today's Conservative Party isn't focused on what's best for Canada as much as it's focused on opposing whatever the government does, regardless of the issue. History will remember those who built solutions, and those who got in the way.

@ForMYCanada Like Harper lived in Justin's.... Funny how that works....

To date, PM Carney has never used Poilievre’s name. Meanwhile, PM Carney (and Justin Trudeau) live rent free in Poilievre’s mind. #cdnpoli

@DanShaha @JBelcourt73 I can and do. We really know very little about Jesus, what with the four gospels being inherently historically unreliable. But if you are happy and think you have what you need good for you.

@AnotherStam @JBelcourt73 I can’t get behind this theological idea. If all flavors of Christianity are “true”, then The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is also true. What does mainstream Christianity offer that I don’t already have?

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I often find myself at a disadvantage when interacting with critics of the Church. At first I thought it was because I was lacking skills in debate, knowledge about my Faith, or was inadequate at expressing myself in a public forum. So I went to work. I studied my Religion more. I started watching religious debates and listening to podcasts. I started expressing my thoughts and opinions more in public. I asked questions. I sought answers. And I eventually realized I’ll always be at a disadvantage when interacting with critics, for three reasons; 1. Critics of The Church of Jesus Christ are willing to intentionally undermine and destroy my Faith in Jesus Christ and His Restored Gospel. I’m not willing to intentionally undermine anyone’s Faith. I think we have far more in common than we do differences. 2. Critics spend a lot more time studying my Religion and its history than I do, or have time to. While I’ve been working to build my relationship with Jesus Christ, raise my kids, invest in my family, and work to pay my bills, they’ve been compiling all the things they think prove I’m wrong in my beliefs. I can’t match that kind of hyper-focus with the limited time I have. 3. While I’m willing to look at, read, and study things that might conflict with my religious world-view, Critics of the Church are not. They will continually insist I’m wrong while refusing to entertain or look at any information that would challenge their assumed world view. Critics also don’t have much to offer outside of their criticisms. Whenever I ask for an alternative to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I get a few generic answers, like “Biblical Christianity”, “a relationship with the REAL Jesus”, “I can’t offer you anything”, or “it’s not my place to guide you to a viable alternative”. I never get an invite to a church, an offer to study, or a program to look into. It’s always “abandon your faith!” Without offering a suitable replacement.

@cgy_guy @yegwave Exactly. All this "lead" nonsense is never going to happen.

@yegwave How are we supposed to lead given we are vastly outnumbered and we still aren’t allowed fair representation?

Prime Minister Mark Carney used his Calgary Stampede visit to urge Albertans to remain part of Canada, saying, “Build, not break. Lead, not leave.”

@yegwave If he thinks the entrenched Laurentia that actually run the federal government are going to allow Alberta to "lead" he is dumber than I thought.

@JS9511606021086 I feel like mine does, and it isn't LDS.

I don't write on here daily trying to convince myself or anyone else that The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints is true. I'm not trying to coerce anyone. I just like testifying what I know to be true. I feel like my religion is the only one that makes complete sense.

@Motomom128302 @abc123jjj He was being sarcastic.

@abc123jjj You do you, we are not a cult wanting to leave, we are just wanting our children their children and their children to have a great life! There is no hate coming from our side!

Hi. I live in Alberta and I’m a Forever Canadian who will be voting to stay. Because Canada is thriving…. It doesn’t bother me that 59% of Canadians are now saying they’ll never retire. And yes, I’m aware that homeless encampments have increased 303% across Canada since 2018 - it’s really not that big of a deal, we have beautiful summers. And I have heard that 10% of Canadians are living in poverty - could we do better? I guess - but at least it’s not 20%. And so what if roughly 100,000 Canadians have already been laid off in 2026 - maybe they should’ve chosen a career path that was a little more stable. And I think it’s totally fine that 42% of Canadian manufactures are planning to move to the US. They should move. They’re likely racist bigots - the US can have them. I mean, anyone who questions the government is a racist bigot - and that makes up most of the separatist movement. They don’t even care about the colour of peoples skin. But they should care because people of colour need to understand that they’re victims and can’t succeed without government handouts and if you’re white - it’s your job to tell them. The same applies to First Nations. That’s why we have DEI. Separatists also don’t care about the sexual orientation of others. Who wants to live in a country where sexual orientation doesn’t matter? I don’t. I mean, 2SLGBTQIA+IBUPROFEN people deserve special treatment. And I normally don’t support public nudity - but I do if it’s at a Pride parade. They have to know that we will not question them. And I don’t think sexual orientation will be celebrated in an independent Alberta on a daily basis. And that’s not right. Sexual orientation is everything these days. And when it comes to the government - it’s not their job to be honest or look after the country. It’s our job to accept what they do. I mean, can you imagine living in a country with a responsible government? Not me - I wouldn’t want that. Government officials became government officials so they can do whatever they want and spend our taxes however they choose - even if that means funding other countries while Canadians go hungry. And some people have asked me how I feel about the debt being passed down to future generations - my answer: I don’t care. I won’t be around then. Not my problem. I mean sure, I love my children and grandchildren - but their future isn’t really my concern anymore. It’s their future. Not mine. Anyways, that’s why me (and my friends) are voting to stay. Because Canada is amazing. Elbows up! Blame Trump! And free Palestine!

@abc123jjj Awesome, withering sarcasm! First rate! Love it!

@ybobbjr Why is it that Mormons constantly tell each other the Book of Mormon is "true"? You won't hear Christians constantly saying to each other " I know the Bible is true " ( largely because most of them a great deal of it isn't historically "true") Why is that?

“I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgement bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true.” My favorite Apostle; Jeffrey R Holland

@DLTyler_Papa Have ye turned? ( I love talking in Mormonese)

The Lord sends us prophets to warn of danger and the consequences of turning from Him. He protects us when we listen. When we ignore the prophets, we don't have that promise. "Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets." - 2 Kings 17:13 #comefollowme #SaintsOnX #Grokimagine

@gator_gum Had he gone up against Soy Boy last election he would be the PM today. So, there is that....

What is it about Pierre Poilievre that makes him so incredibly unelectable to Canadians? It's obvious beyond his base and RW Twitter that Canadians have absolutely zero confidence in his ability to even lead a riding, let alone our country... So, what makes him so unpalatable to Canadians? Thoughts?

@Sola_GPT The "most popular" non-Biblical Chrsitian writer? Really?

Incredible how Latter-day Saints can be non-Christian and yet love all these elements of Christian culture 😄 And we are also white Muslims / Hindu / Atheist / Scientologists and yet we aren’t into those cultures 🤷

@DanShaha @JBelcourt73 No, he did not "definitely" establish one Church. And every flavour of Christianity, with all of its incredible diversity ( which, of course, is a lot less diverse today than in antiquity)is "true".

@AnotherStam @JBelcourt73 Christ definitely established one Church built on Apostolic authority. If not The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, then which flavor of Christianity is Christ’s true Church?

@dgoates Yah, don't bother with the Bible.

My grandfather Harold B. Lee answered all the missionaries’ questions in the Salt Lake Temple with his scriptures. He used no other source except living prophets at the time they were serving. Good standard for us too.
