@that_frikindude @aasingleton17 You don't look Puerto Rican but I guess you want to be one. I think you may be delusional.

Thanks for the comment! Happy to take the question (in no particular order)
1. We have no currency and our economy would die
2. We have no military
3. Trade with Canada becomes harder/more expensive
4. Businesses would leave quickly
5. We aren't parties to free trade agreements

@aasingleton17 How about you tell us 10 reasons for Albertans to stay in Canada

@ABDanielleSmith That is a stretch even for a space case like you!

@MarcNixon24 He voted against both of those programs. I don't believe him.

@MrGlobal2025 Maybe they want to get all the money from the tariffs for themselves.

Very pleased to see Poilievre’s pro-union commitments to strengthening the apprenticeship system for IBEW and other unionized workers. It's clear he has been listening to our concerns, which we have continued to voice since our constructive dialogue began. - James Barry, IBEW CCO

BREAKING: Conservatives will bring back apprenticeship grants & fund trade schools to train 350,000 workers in BOOTS, NOT SUITS! This will build Canada First, and help break our dependence on the U.S. Let's bring it home: conservative.ca/cpc/canada-fir…

@ABDanielleSmith What a load of crap, like everything from you.

It has been a full week since U.S. President Donald Trump and the Canadian government reached a border security agreement that included a 30-day window to demonstrate our nation’s commitment to securing our shared border against fentanyl trafficking and illegal migration.
A key part of this agreement was the promised appointment of a ‘Fentanyl Czar’ to coordinate this effort between Canada’s various federal agencies, the U.S. government, and the provinces.
Alberta is perplexed and concerned by the delay in appointing this Fentanyl czar and calls on the federal government to do so without further delay. There is much work to be done, and while efforts to strengthen border security and crack down on fentanyl trafficking have begun across the country, these efforts will have limited effect without a federal lead to coordinate the national response.
This week, I will be joining my fellow Premiers in Washington, D.C., to advocate for a stronger U.S.-Canada trade and security partnership. It is incumbent upon the Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau to appoint the border czar in the coming days to support the Premiers’ and his own Ministers’ efforts in this regard.
Alberta also reiterates its call for a federal election to be held in March, immediately following the selection of the new Liberal leader on March 9, so that our country can negotiate a renewed trade agreement with the United States from a position of strength. Failure to do so risks the imposition of tariffs that will cost the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Canadians.

@Jax_and_Philip @rospigge60559 @RpsAgainstTrump You think the orange turd would agree to full citizenship status? We would be a step below Puerto Rico. 3rd class citizen.

This dummy thinks he’s some kind of genius, ranting about Canada becoming the 51st state of the U.S. as if it’s some kind of bargaining chip in trade negotiations.
Meanwhile, Canadians across the political spectrum—right to left—are appalled by Trump’s actions and rallying behind Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

@rospigge60559 @RpsAgainstTrump Canada should call the administration's bluff on this and say they'll enter into talks about each Province and Terrority joining as separate states, all 13 of them, 26 senators.

1/ Let me explain why the total destruction of USAID - happening as we speak - matters so much.
China - where Musk makes his money - wants USAID destroyed. So does Russia. Trump and Musk are doing the bidding of Beijing and Moscow. Why?

@Kanaley @JoshEakle The price will be FOB the border. You pay your own taxes in your own country. We lost 196 solders in Afghanistan fighting for you. This is how we get repaid? This is how you treat supposed friends? Damage to both of us will be devastating.

This would be a disaster.
Canada wins by helping America win. The tariffs are avoidable. Secure the boarder and do a better job on cracking down on drugs.

Canada is getting ready for the "Buy Canadian" action as we move forward.
Thank you @GreenGiant for making the process simpler

Today, over two billion people around the globe come together to celebrate Lunar New Year, including thousands of Albertans. While customs and traditions may differ across cultures, this joyous occasion unites us in embracing the promise of new beginnings, opportunities, and prosperity in the year ahead.
This year, Jan. 29 marks a significant transition as we bid farewell to the Year of the Dragon and welcome the Year of the Snake, specifically the Wood Snake. This is a unique time as the Year of the Wood Snake comes only once every 60 years.
At this time, in what feels to be a pivotal moment in history, it is significant that the Year of Wood Snake is known to be a time for planning, transformation, and learning from the past. This also embodies qualities that resonate deeply with the spirit of Alberta—resilience, progress, and the pursuit of success.
To everyone celebrating, I extend my warmest wishes for a joyful Lunar New Year filled with peace, happiness, and prosperity.
