Alberta separatism isn’t motivated by equalization policies, Senate seats, carbon taxes or oil. These tired complaints may ride shotgun on independence, but bigotry drives the truck. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/…

@Alberta_Brute Zing!

@DiCintio Retard

What does it mean to be #undocumented in Alberta? My latest for @albertaviews. albertaviews.ca/always-hiding/

@DownTownHawkDog I didn’t cite it. I wrote it. For pay. I’m sorry if this is hard for you to understand.

@DiCintio They must pay you to cite this article. You are copying other posts. That article is ridiculous. I am from Alberta. You should cite real journalism.

@DuaneBratt I spent the last couple of months creeping through the separatists social media pages. I know what to expect.

@DiCintio It was a good piece, but you might not want to read the replies :)

The Separatist drive for a utopia that exists in their imagination. Even though I am a white heterosexual male, I am undoubtedly on the deportation list. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/…

Big day here at Casa Di Cintio. Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers has been shortlisted for both the W. O. Mitchell City of Calgary Book Prize and the Wilfred Eggleston Award for Nonfiction. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

@shortstuffpb @TheBreakdownAB Anyway, I wrote a thing. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/…

@DiCintio @TheBreakdownAB With an annotated quote. Apparently, the announcement wasn't media friendly.

“Alberta Prosperity Project CEO Mitch Sylvestre confirmed Tuesday morning that the citizen initiative petition for an Alberta independence referendum has surpassed the 177,732 signatures required” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli culturealberta.com/articles/alber…

@shortstuffpb @TheBreakdownAB Sylvestre speaks! cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

@DiCintio @TheBreakdownAB I don't think it's weird. Sometimes it simply doesn't make a good quote.

@shortstuffpb @TheBreakdownAB Okay, but Rath isn’t quoted in the written story or in the video clip confirming the number. Isn’t that weird? I don’t understand.

@DiCintio @TheBreakdownAB Jeff Rath confirmed it to Global News. globalnews.ca/news/11753155/…

Seems like the UCP's strategy to defeat the separatists is to transform Alberta into the backwards hellscape the separatists want. Smith's policies mirror Modry's, just with less misspellings.

My first for @EdifyEdmonton, about @MigranteAlberta's heroic efforts on behalf of Edmonton's Filipino migrant worker community. edifyedmonton.com/urban/communit…

@shortstuffpb @TheBreakdownAB So why no statement from Sylvestre to the media? Not even to friendly media. The Western Standard just has “according to sources.” I’m not saying they’re lying. I just don’t get it.

@DiCintio @TheBreakdownAB They confirmed it over a zoom call to their canvassers. I don't see any reason for them to be lying, considering that they were trying to push their canvassers hard to meet the goal. With the pressure off, many of them won't be so willing to sit and wait for stragglers.

@JSJamato Did they, though? All the sources for this news are "apparently Sylvestre said something to somebody."

Alberta separatists now have the 177,000 signatures needed to force an independence vote, according to leader/lawyer Jeff Rath, adding there could be another 70k being processed. Rath called on the premier to join them if she wants to keep her job. More tonight! #ableg #cdnpoli

@JeffreyRWRath @CTVCalgary "Some people heard Sylvestre say something" isn't exactly reliable. Aren't you a lawyer?

@CTVCalgary It’s a FACT - not a CLAIM!

Alberta independence organizers claim signature threshold met, according to reports ctvnews.ca/calgary/articl…

@TheBreakdownAB Then again, Sylvestre also said that Canada leads the world in assisted suicide, and “they take and sell the organs.” Maybe he isn't the best source of information.

@TheBreakdownAB I was going through the separatist social media accounts last night. This claim seems odd. Confirmed to who? Everything I read is hearsay. No actual statement from StayFreeAlberta on this, as far as I can tell. Except for some retweets.

@abierkhatib I suspect you’d find some in Canada, sadly.

Do politicians anywhere outside the U.S. actually slap an “I stand with Israel” sticker on their office door?

@RiseOfAlberta Poor oppressed Albertans, their livelihoods stolen by the communist fascists in Ottawa, taking private helicopter rides.

The Alberta Independence petition was just signed on top of a mountain peak by Albertans who arrived via helicopter. #AlbertaIndependence

@chellebe @cspotweet 🤣

@DiCintio @cspotweet Woe you're a special kinda stupid. 🙄

UCP MLA Jason Stephan has written an oped, in which he urges Albertans to sign the sovereignty petition, saying that a referendum would be good for Alberta. westernstandard.news/opinion/stepha…
