I still can’t believe that a person who said this just 16 days ago in the HOC would join the very party they are berating. Steve MacKinnon’s response is disgusting. Who would want to be a part of that vindictive & vile group of people?

A lot of people think this debate is just about Alberta vs Canada. It’s not. It’s about something deeper. It’s about where power actually comes from. Right now in Canada, we live in a constitutional monarchy. And I know people will say “yeah but it’s just symbolic”… but that misses the point. The entire system is built on the idea that authority flows from the Crown. Not from you. Not from me. From the Crown. And then we’re allowed to participate inside that system. We vote, sure. But we don’t own the system. That might sound like a small distinction, but it’s not. It shapes everything. Because when power doesn’t originate from the people, it becomes something that can be managed, redirected, or ignored by those who control the system itself. That’s why so many Albertans feel like their vote doesn’t matter. Because in a lot of ways… it doesn’t, not in the way it should. You can vote harder, louder, more often… and still get the same outcomes imposed from above. That’s not a failure of individuals. That’s a design issue. Now compare that to a republic. A true republic starts from a completely different place. The people are sovereign. Not in a slogan way, not in a symbolic way… but in the actual foundation of the system. Government doesn’t rule over the people. It exists because of them. It only has the authority that the people choose to give it. That changes the relationship entirely. You’re not participating in someone else’s system… you ARE the system. And that’s why I support Alberta becoming an independent republic. Not because I hate Canada. Not because I want division for the sake of it. But because I believe Albertans should actually own their future. Right now we’re policy locked. We have very little leverage. We’re told to wait for the next election, or the next leader, or the next promise. But nothing fundamentally changes. A republic changes that starting point. It forces a reset where the system is built intentionally, with clarity about who holds power and why. And yeah, that comes with responsibility. It’s not a magic solution. But I’d rather live in a system where the people are clearly in charge… than one where we’re told we are, but the foundation says otherwise. That’s the real conversation here. Not left vs right. Not even Alberta vs Canada. It’s this: Do you believe power should flow from above… or from the people themselves? That’s why this matters.

@nenshi Got your equity card with you?

The world has never been more unstable and more dangerous. What we need right now is stability.

This is something I’ve also noticed. Why the hell have hot dogs gotten so expensive? If you don’t wait for a sale or you miss a sale you are paying top dollar for what is essentially a very low quality meat product.

Tourists from the UK encounter a wolf in Alberta 🐺🇨🇦

Good morning. Back-to-back meetings start, so off to the farm early. If I didn’t own a farm in Canada, I would be gone from this shithole country in an instant. Yesterday an appointed PM cherry-picked some more idiots to get his majority. Now, thanks to immigrants and boomers out east, he is well on his way. If not, he will get more floor-crossers with gifts to switch. It’s a joke, and if the Conservatives did this when they were in power, the media and opposition would explode in anger. Remember, a $16 orange juice destroyed a career. But the part that really pisses me off is that no one from the government is held responsible for anything. These Liberals are masters of not owning up and not looking out for voters’ best interests. Has any Liberal actually answered one question in 11 years? The sad part is our vote means nothing out west. Not a fucking thing. We have so much potential pissed away by eastern governments with only one plan: give us enough rope so we just don’t hang ourselves. All the while taking everything and leaving the scraps. Mass immigration from third-world holes was a huge mistake because the brightest and richest leave, and what you have left are the lower forms. Socialism or communism—it’s the same. Few sit in riches. 90% sit in shacks. That’s Canada in a nutshell. The floor-crossing was the last straw. We have no leadership. Have a great day even if the clouds are getting darker. Oh, Carla joined the federal team and wants windmills, solar, and to ban clean coal. One last comment: canola’s massive drop yesterday was a joke and soy was up. Fuck, some Canadian farmers can’t even afford their fertilizer and some still have bills from last year, so canola ain’t going to be given all the goods in 2026. Acres will be switched to peas, lentils, and flax.

Now that the floor crossing has passed, can we get back to what's being ignored? François-Philippe Champagne's ethics violation. I'll use this example. If a councillor's partner brings forward a massive Greenfield project, "recusing" yourself is just optics. The influence is already at the dinner table. Carney says the rules were followed on this $90B Alto train, but technical compliance doesn't fix the smell test. When the person holding the national chequebook is too conflicted to even sit in the room for a project this size, the taxpayer is the one left vulnerable.

@gmforbes35 When a Party Leader has to buy his majority or scam his way into a majority, it shows how pathetic that Leader is. Ladies and Gentlemen I now present to you @MarkJCarney. The current Government is made up of liars, scammers and pathetic useless yes sir people, just horrifying.

Mark Carney has no idea what he did today. He destroyed Canada's trust in its government. On so many levels. I was sick to my stomach when I saw Marilyn Gladu had crossed over to the Liberals this morning on X. Not kidding.

@MarkJCarney You think normal Canadians are at all happy today?

An honour to speak with Colonel Jeremy Hansen and the Artemis II crew tonight.    Wishing you all a safe journey back to Earth.

@gmforbes35 @CanTrueCrime The deal

When was the first pic taken? Because that's not what she was wearing when she appeared with Carney today.

@yegwave Somsinhg wrong

A semi-truck has just flipped on QE2 northbound near Bear Hills Rest Area and is blocking the whole road.

Canada is cooked

You really should clean up your timeline. Hypocrite.

It's starting!

@midnightriderV2 @BoswellDoug Trudeau set Carny up for this to happen.

Trudeau was just an idiot. Carney is a slithering snake.

Well Canada. This is it. Now is your chance to prove that a Liberal government can create some sort of prosperity. It’s never happened before, and if they can’t do it with a majority now - hopefully you’ll finally know that’s it’s not possible. My worry though is that they will now flood the country with immigrants and censor dissidents with their 1984 bills. They’ll exponentially grow the size of government and you’ll never be able to vote yourself out of this mess again. I hope I’m wrong. But this feels very very scary.

We still have 24 days to collect signatures for the Alberta independence petition.

Well Carla Beck must have got shit from the new leader of the Federal NDP. She now just showed Saskatchewan what a NDP government would look like. Key Elements of the Plan • Coal Phase-Out: Run existing coal-fired plants to the end of their practical life (e.g., Shand Power Station until ~2042, Boundary Dam Unit 3 until ~2044) without billions in refurbishments to extend them to 2050. This would avoid an estimated $2.6 billion in costs. • Generation Mix: Expand natural gas as a bridge fuel, alongside more wind, solar, and battery storage. Commit to large-scale nuclear deployment in the 2040s (once supply chains, approvals, and workforce are ready). • Transmission: Build new high-capacity 500-kilovolt transmission corridors (Swift Current to Regina, Swift Current to Saskatoon, and Regina to Saskatoon) for better efficiency and to support growth. So basically close down Estevan with its 100 year supply of clean no pollution coal. Never ever vote NDP. Carla is slipping in popularity even if she is on the news every day like she is.
