Meanwhile in Alberta 🤯

@JeffreyRWRath Smith crossed the floor again .

🚨 NEWS ALERT 🚨 I’ve been rereading the decision of Justice Leonard blocking the Alberta Independence Referendum in contemplation of our scheduled Alberta Court of Appeal Stay Hearing on June 18th, 2026. Besides, again, remarking on the numerous errors in the decision I was taken with the extent to which the Court has seen fit to interfere with a legislated process of consultation with both indigenous and non indigenous citizens alike. At paragraph [232] of her decision Justice Leonard makes the finding that the “Executive” is not engaged in any decision making - which would include specific First Nations Consultation until the Chief Electoral Officer had concluded “verifying that the signature thresholds are met”. In other words all @ABDanielleSmith has to do is call a meeting with the Alberta Chiefs to “consult” with them and then call a Referendum Question that complies with the Clarity Act under section 1 of the Referendum Act. My two big take away are this. 1. Justice Leonard unlawfully interfered in the legislative process PREVENTING the government of Alberta from consulting First Nations after the signature thresholds were verified by judicially interfering in the legislatively mandated signature verification process. 2. That Danielle Smith lied to the citizens of Alberta when she looked them in the eye and said that the “courts” prevent her from calling a referendum question on independence. All Danielle has to do is call a meeting of the Alberta Chiefs to “consult”, listen to them assert a veto over democracy in Alberta, and then go call a Referendum Question under s. 1 of the Referendum Act. (That is presuming that the law around consultation can be stretched so far as to require a government to consult with First Nations about consulting citizens in a referendum that the Supreme Court says doesn’t effect anyone’s legal rights”) The fascinating thing about this is that on Justice Leonard’s own reasoning, the point where the executive would need to consult with First Nations has not yet arisen because JUSTICE LEONARD blocked the CEO from verifying the signatures so that the executive could then do its job and consult First Nations. Intentionally or otherwise the court appears to have catastrophically failed in its role as a neutral arbitrator of the law. @echipiuk @ikwilson @PardyBruce @ABDanielleSmith

@Gusinalberta Brilliant idea , let’s import beef thousand of miles away on a diesel cargo ship . Nothing says progressive environmentalist quite like maximizing your carbon footprint.

@EmailSusans Fuck those welfare queens, I haven’t boughten any Alberta beef in months, most of them are separatist, I refuse to support them.

Daily reminder to the ditchbillies of Alberta.

@DavidMcLA We’re done

So stay in the federation.

@jakefreshy43 @MarcNixon24 You should evaluate your emotions and start assessing facts over fictions

@MarcNixon24 He does love Canada (unlike you) and the Albertans who want to separate are just victims to propaganda being relayed by dumbasses such as yourself.

Wab Kinew says he LOVES Canada Tells Albertans they can’t ask for independence referendum because of the First Nations Than Turns OFF his comment section

@WeimaDiane You people are the reason Western society is collapsing- good job

When you're getting you're ass handed to you by Wab Kinew.

@tbw_prdcanadian Coming from a province that Albertans bail out every year smh 🤦

Looks like I touched some nerves yesterday when I said AB separatists are about as pathetic as ppl can be. Here is the thing. I don't care what you have to say about me. You keep saying things like "this attitude is why we must separate". No children, your attitude is WHY I'm..

@Garnet_2203 He’s a criminal who barks and howls like a dog

Wab Kinew is trying to unite Canada. Danielle Smith is trying to divide it. Danielle Smith is a traitor.

@guyfelicella Boy you really have low standards for this country

Pierre Poilievre can keep chasing the job. Wab Kinew is going to become Prime Minister before any Conservative does. Bookmark it. 🇨🇦

@JillSweden1 @HugoMonster96 Fear porn is that all you got - go touch grass

@HugoMonster96 That's great Good luck separatists. No one will trade with you.

Wab Kinew just called BULLSHIT to Danielle Smith’s LIES to her face live at a press conference. Love it. ⁉️😳👍

@TrevorRobb_ It’s a question no need to consult on that said question . Did the government consult First Nations when they slaughtered healthy ostriches? No they did not

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew to Smith: “That is not correct. It is not up to the petition gatherers to fulfill the duty to consult. It is up to you, as the Alberta government, to fulfill the duty to consult." #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…

@TheJasonPugh @WabKinew @ABDanielleSmith Take advice from a women beater nah she’s good

🚨WATCH: “Sorry, I’d like to respond. So I think we know that that is not correct. A lot of what you just said there, Premier Smith.” - Manitoba Premier @WabKinew #cdnpoli @ABDanielleSmith

@PaulCha94025901 Nope

#ableg #abpoli

@integritycdn I’m shocked he wasn’t barking or howling like a dog .

Smith has pushed Canadians too far and now… The lights are coming on🇨🇦 Respect Wab Kinew for his clear delivery of the Facts We need more of this🔥🔥🔥

@SilentSnow89 @AdriaOfCourse That’s not true you have paid taxes ,lived here a number of years and called Alberta home . You will become a citizen of the New Republic.

@AdriaOfCourse So people like me, who have lived in Alberta virtually all their lives, will not automatically become "Albertans" because we weren't born in Alberta? Who decides that?

One question I have for the separatists, and it's a personal one, is this: Let's say Alberta does separate from Canada. What happens to Albertans who were born in other parts of Canada? Do we automatically get Alberta citizenship based on living in the province at the time of its independence? Or would we be considered foreigners instead of citizens? I was born in BC, but my family moved to Edmonton when I was six months old. I have lived in Alberta for 36 years. I am as Albertan as anyone born in this province. But my suspicion is that the separatists will treat me like they treat any other foreigners: with hostility.

@ShelbyGraceOSh2 @cspotweet @RichardKnack I’m shocked he wasn’t barking like a dog or howling

@cspotweet @RichardKnack Oh she had the ol arm wag going. You know she’s BIG mad at Wab for speaking up!

"I think we know that's not correct a lot of what you said Premier Smith." Manitoba premier Wab Kinew pushes back against Smith's claims on a sovereignty petition court case and duty to consult, and asks for Alberta's referendum to be paused for a couple of years so Canada and provinces can make progress on energy projects like a pipeline.

@JeffreyRWRath @jkenney Unreal from a former Premier. That kind of childish rhetoric dodges accountability for actual systemic problems .

@jkenney Mr. Kenney, (@jkenney) can you please explain the legal mechanism for removing Edmonton from Alberta. That was one of the most interesting things you proposed last night in your LOSING debate with Keith Wilson.

Of course it would not be in the commercial interests of the federal government to suspend shipments on Trans Mountain (TM.) But that’s not the point. The point is that in a worse case scenario, such as an Alberta unilateral declaration of independence (UDI,) Canada would have enormous leverage, including the ability to block Alberta energy exports. This is most obviously the case re: federally-owned TM. Apart from their ability to reduce or stop shipments, do you really think the federal or BC governments would continue to advance Trans Mountain optimization, which is currently the best bet that we have for increased egress? Do you really think the federal government would maintain its MOU commitment to support the construction of a de novo West Coast pipeline? Even if it wanted to, federal paramountcy over interprovincial pipelines, grounded in 92(10)(a) would cease to exist following secession, so BC governments could find ways to block operation or construction of pipelines going through their territory, with Alberta having no recourse to Ottawa. Currently all of our pipelines exports to the US pass through other Canadian provinces first. That includes the incomplete KXL route, which passes through Saskatchewan. Since the Republic of Alberta would be starting without an equivalent to the 1977 Canada-U.S. Transit Pipelines Treaty, Ottawa could also suspend the operation of those other pipelines, e.g. the Enbridge Mainline. Canada and BC could also extract further concessions (eg tolls or tariffs) in order to allow Alberta natural gas to feed into the growing number of West Coast LNG terminals. Separatists respond to these realities by saying “don’t worry - we’ll build pipelines to the US and export from there!” First of all, who is “we?” What companies are going to risk tens of $ billions to spend years building a new system of pipelines in the midst of such massive political and legal uncertainty, including the risk of a Biden style abrogation of pipeline permits by the US? Secondly, the separatists seem completely unaware that the left wing US West Coast governments have effectively blocked the export of carbon intensive fuels from their ports. That’s why US produced thermal coal is exported from the Port of Vancouver, BC. Strange but true: Canada’s West Coast ports are far friendlier to hydro carbon exports than West Coast US ports! All of this (and much more) effectively gives Ottawa the clear upper hand in prospective negotiations over everything, e.g.: -debt allocation; - valuation & sale of federal assets (such as military bases, RCMP facilities, federal lands, including airports, etc.;) - allocation of CPP assets; - continuation of OAS / GIS benefits; - termination of citizenship; - visa and work permit exemptions for Albertans travelling to Canada; - export access to the Canadian market; - partition of Alberta per the predictable demands of democratic majorities in Edmonton, Calgary, Indian Reserves & elsewhere;) - support for or blockage of Alberta’s accession to critical international bodies & treaties, like CUSMA, or IATA to allow for international flights, etc.; and - countless other issues. I agree that exercising its massive leverage in such a scenario would be damaging to Canada. But it would be far more damaging to Alberta. Whatever grievances Albertans have with Ottawa cannot be remedied by becoming a landlocked statelet. The vast majority of Albertans know this. It is beyond absurd that we are going to spend the next several months, and possibly years to come, arguing endlessly over this.

@KekwayB @ShaunRickard67 Your understanding of the English language is outstanding. By sticking to All l’ve correctly pointed out it applies to the entire system regardless of party lines. Accountability isn’t a partisan weapon .

@EmailSusans @ShaunRickard67 Pierre Poilievre deserves it in other words?

Here's the full clip of Chrystia Freeland being verbally assaulted at a recent event. What are your thoughts?

@elikowaz @CANADALAND I believe this will happen straight across the board with all people in positions of authority

Today in Toronto: a heckler at a @CANADALAND event at the Miles Nadal JCC called Chrystia Freeland, Canada's former deputy prime minister, a "Zionist Nazi dog." Canada, 2026
