How it is done.
Robert Sterling@RobertMSterling

I just had the craziest experience at the airport. We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight. Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.” Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess. The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.” He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.” Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate… Start clapping. I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message. All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest. It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time. @Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

Michelle Rempel Garner on Alberta pipeline timeline: "I think what's happening here is Mark Carney has a very divided Liberal caucus. I'm not even sure he has the support of cabinet to move the pipeline forward."

Dr Peter St. Onge: “It’s Official: Alberta will vote on Independence after years of abuse from the rest of Canada. If it succeeds, it's 80% odds Alberta applies to join the US.” What are your thoughts about Alberta potentially becoming the 51st state?

You know which group of people are almost universally opposed to Albertan independence? The professional parasite class. Career politicians, overpaid and underworked bureaucrats and pigs of all stripes suckling at the public teat.

In 2022 I travelled from Alberta to Ottawa to have my voice heard by a government that supposedly works for me yet refused to hear me. I and thousands of others, braved the -30 temps, blizzards, treacherous road conditions and risked frost bitten toes because my voice was being ignored and my freedoms removed one by one. In 2026 I sat for hours on the side of roads, in community centres and at events LEGALLY gathering signatures from other Albertans who also felt their voices weren’t being heard. The first time I stood up against this government they invoked the war measures act and jailed and beat peaceful people while many Canadians cheered it on. The second time I stood up against this government a government appointed judge now says my voice doesn’t matter. I and thousands of others just like me are PROOF that we have no voice in Canada. The people will never be heard, we will never have a say in how we are governed and we will never be free. This court decision is the ultimate proof that Alberta needs to leave Canada as remaining in Canada ensures we will continue to be controlled by government and never be heard. The government is supposed to work FOR the people yet time and time again we’ve witnessed that their sole purpose is to stifle our voices, control us and ensure we the people NEVER take back what is ours….the power to determine our own future without government interference. I’m 50 years old and I’ve seen what Canada was, where Canada is now and I can see where Canada is going. Where Canada is going ensures my children and grandchildren will never have a free and prosperous future. WAKE UP!

Natives in alberta make up 5-7% of albertas population, that includes metis which aren't even considered indigenous to some treaty members. Why would 95% of the population be held hostage by 5%? Show me the democracy in that.

So apparently Albertans have a “duty to consult” the Indian bands our very tax dollar support. Weird, why wasn’t this “duty to consult” required with the forever Canada petition, when the federal government sent billions of our tax dollars to Ukraine and other foreign countries, when billions of our tax dollars were used to subsidize failing battery plants and cricket factories or when they allowed millions of foreigners to invade our country? Why is this “duty to consult” only applicable in this situation and for oil and gas pipelines? It’s almost like the “duty to consult” only applies when people want to do something the federal government disagrees with. This court ruling is PROOF that Albertans needs to separate from Canada as remaining in Canada ENSURES Albertans will NEVER have their voices heard!

Hot take: The ruling today against Freedom in Alberta is one of the best things that could have happened for Independence. Moderates, of which there are many, will now see that the gov't is trying every trick in the book to force Albertans to have no options.

@marlene4719 Still haven’t gotten an answer, Canadian. Why do you care? Many Canadians already help destroy Canada. Canadians, don’t ever forget the fact that if it wasn’t for the United States of America, you all would be speaking Chinese.

I was just thinking, if Alberta and SK separates, perhaps they could make mineral rights belong to land owners instead of their new government, just like in the US. This would likely entice a few fence sitters more towards independence.

I understand that my personal information, including my home address, was shared publicly on a screen at a recent Alberta separatist event. It was also recorded on video, and is now circulating. This was apparently part of the outrageous data leak of Albertans’ private information, wherein Elections Alberta shared its entire detailed provincial voter database with the “Republican Party of Alberta,” which in turn shared it with some separatist group called the “Centurion Project,” whose leadership then shared my personal information publicly. Over the past few years I have received no shortage of threats from people broadly associated with the separatist / antivax / far right movement in Alberta. So it is disturbing that my personal information is now broadly available, particularly in those circles. While I have been targeted specifically, the broader data breach may also effect vulnerable Albertans, including victims of domestic violence, journalists, activists, judges, and other public servants for years to come. I will retain legal counsel to seek advice on recourse regarding this outrageous and potentially dangerous violation of my personal privacy.
