@JonFraserTF I highly doubt that. No one has posted a 1km/hr fine picture because municipalities do the same as officers, start at 9km/hr or more.

@CanadaBasic The camera threshold was set to 1 km/hr over the limit. I literally got a ticket for going 1 km over. It was a cash grab.

40 km/h is a ridiculous speed limit. 50 makes more sense and frankly, traffic is often so bad that you're lucky to do more than 20. This is also a badly written headline. People are not doing more than 80, it's that there are 200% more people exceeding the speed limit.

Speeds on Parkside Drive in the city’s west end have increased more than 200 per cent since the province banned the use of speed cameras, according to data from the City of Toronto. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/05/14/spe…

@JonFraserTF It also issued over 70,000 tickets, I'd say its a dangerous road.

@JonFraserTF 40 on Parkside makes 80 a stunt charge. Considering a few have traveled over 120km/hr on this stretch, it's warranted. Wait, why isn't there a bunch of speed bumps by now, its been 6 months.

Just remember a National Basic Income could very well help the government get funds out quickly to those who have been affected by Natural Disasters, Employment Lockouts, Unemployment Spikes, Inflation Spikes and more.

Good question. The answer is: because they can’t get elected to dog catcher in Alberta. They’ve been trying for 45 years. At least a dozen separatist parties have contested federal and provincial elections in Alberta since 1980. They’ve only won one seat, in 1982, which they promptly lost. In 2021, at the height of Justin Trudeau’s unpopularity, the separatist Maverick Party got 25,000 votes in all of Western Canada, fewer than 1,000 votes per contested riding. A few months ago, the two separatists who ran against Pierre Poilievre in Crowfoot got 1.7% of the vote between them, a pretty typical result for separatists on federal and provincial ballots since they started their spectacular losing streak circa 1980. So since Albertans keep rejecting them in overwhelming numbers, they’re trying to take over a party that was founded with a commitment to a strong Alberta within a united Canada.

Nothing in Justice Leonard’s decision prohibits separatists from running a separatist party with a separatist platform in the next general election. Democracy lives through long established processes for democratic participation. Why won’t separatists run on a separatist platform in a general election?

@fordnation Bradford Bypass has no connection to the Go Transit line? Is this where you mysteriously put in another OnRoute?

Major construction is officially underway on the Bradford Bypass! This transformational highway project will save drivers up to an hour every day once complete and will keep more than 2,200 workers on the job each year as it’s being built. Find out more: news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

I meant the supporters of it. It boggles my mind why anyone today, would want to start such a process, that upends the lives of every single person in the province. Back when Quebec tried to separate in the 80's and 90's it was a real scare to Canada. We're big on being a Dominion of Provinces/Territories. So we made certain Constitutional amendments and laws to spell out the process. That's what screwed them yesterday. They just aren't happy about it. Now the answer seems to be flood the political party with supporters to trigger a referendum. The only thing that comes of that, when that same party openly accepts members as young as 14 is a lot of hatred for your country and another generation of angry people wanting a change that is logistically a nightmare. I mean your American, how many businesses shove their money offshore to avoid taxes, and Alberta seems to think their Oil conglomorates are going to stay locally taxed?

@FatherofAsh @AlbertaLeonidas So remember, your asking 5 million people to change their entire lives, including switching from km to miles, litres to gallons, centimeters to inches, and more. It's a grueling process that our Natives may not want to do either. You've been to war with them over their land.

Albertans are also more likely not to join the USA, because of Public Pension, Healthcare and Education systems. You're asking Albertans to sacrifice a lot to change to American ways when it comes to publicly funded Healthcare, provincial education that would already be severely limited from it's original capacity from Canadian National Schools to be accredited elsewhere, either locally or USA style. That would be completely complicated, as Albertan teachers wouldn't be able to teach American classes easily. Then you have to think of CPP and how that "state" or "territory" would encompass that pension system. I don't know what Retirement Pension systems are like down there, but we don't have 401k's.

@FatherofAsh @AlbertaLeonidas Unfortunately I do see a lot of dysfuncional Repubicans too. No I did not say it was the only legitimate US government, again that's thinking I'm against them. And the irony of it all, is that Alberta would likely lean about +23 Democrat diluting your house and senate.

They won't join the States. They want autonomy, and they certainly don't want to be part of the US upheaval. I mean no disrespect to the normal everyday American, but your political structure is fucked. Alberta separatists can't even agree if they would have more than 1 party. They don't have any international recognition but a US Right Wing following. They certainly don't have the economic or personnnel numbers to pull off what they want. Things like the fact they won't have the CRA meaning they need to create their own Federal Payment System, Tarriff and Tax system, Border and Securities, etc. It would be a logistical nightmare so huge, it would take Decades to finish while depleting about 40% of their main export.

@CanadaBasic @AlbertaLeonidas Your concerns seem legitimate if they decided to be their own sovereign country and not join the United States. Which is what would happen. You wouldn’t just immediately get to become a state. Look at Puerto Rico.

Albertans are not waiting around for an appeal. The government of Alberta can simply announce there will be a referendum on independence, just like they unilaterally announced the other 9 referenda that will take place in October. Danielle Smith and her cabinet must step up now.

🚨 BREAKING: Premier Danielle Smith states that the judge’s decision to quash the independence petition is “incorrect in law and anti-democratic”
