@gator_gum I don’t agree with everything Saad says, but losing a tenured academic at least partly because he felt unsafe on campus is not worth celebrating.

Gad Saad is leaving Canada. Joe Rogan refuses to visit. Andrew Tate won't come to Canada either.
And you guys say Mark Carney hasn't accomplished anything for Canadians!

@bellgirl67 @menrvasofia I have, but it’s been some time. Lousy owners might try to cheat - but won’t be just on this. In any event - Ontario’s approach is similar to most other provinces now. Only 2 of the Atlantic provinces require shops to close.
English
@JamesPort66 @menrvasofia Tell me you've never worked in retail or restaurants without telling me.
There is no choice and you'd be shocked how many pretend ignorance around paying legally or substitute days off.
English
“Everyone” is not celebrating.
Not the retail workers coerced into working when others have the day off.
It’s like he can’t hear himself speak.,

Something is seriously wrong with this man. Can someone buy him a Canadian history book so he stops Yankee larping?

Separatists should not be permitted to run for Premier of the Province they swore to protect. Smith needs to booted be out of office for false pretences.
Courtney Theriault@cspotweet
Premier Smith says it shouldn't be up to a single, unelected Trudeau-appointed judge should overrule the 700K Albertans who want a separation referendum. She also suggests she would appeal this all the way to the Supreme Court.

@raghu_venugopal @MarkJCarney @MarjoriePLC @HealthCoalition The federal government pays about a fifth of the bills now, Federal leverage in this space is not what it once was.
English
Two-tier healthcare based on your ability to pay isn't the Canadian way. We need Prime Minister Mark Carney and Health Minister Marjorie Michel to defend the Canada Health Act against the profiteers. @MarkJCarney @MarjoriePLC @HealthCoalition

@Articwolfman2 @sarobertson_ CBSA can also search phones. This is not a unique power at a border crossing. That’s said - I think it is very rare on both sides of the border.
English
@sarobertson_ I was invited to South Carolina this past winter. My partner and I are avid anti Trump advocates. We would have had to reset our phones to factory setting and erase 30K posts from Twitter or delete our accounts to get through the fascists at the border. We stayed home.

@acoyne Maybe it’s part of what makes us a great place? I detest separatists (Quebec included), but maybe it all makes us strive to be better.

@Reil76 Moving at the speed of Ottawa. However the new pipeline the U.S. executive just approved is good news. While it won’t diversify markets - it can be done very quickly and will carry about as much product as TMX.
English
Carney is moving ahead on a new pipeline to get Canadian oil to global markets, something Alberta has been demanding for years.
And yet, Alberta is STILL complaining.
First it was “we need pipelines.” Now it’s “not this one,” “not fast enough,” or “not good enough.”
At some point it stops being about pipelines and starts looking like a province that just wants to be perpetually mad no matter what happens.
English
@ttcriders Maybe. I think it should be considered. The province has means that the City lacks. We used to have a transit system that was the envy of most. It’s now suffers widespread dysfunction
English
@OrbitStudios Well…I’m not a fan either …but we have been doing it for decades with the Quebec variety. The western version, to be truthful, has been around for almost as long. They just were considered more fringe

Why are we giving this asshat air time?

Jeff Rath: "I'm sure that the First Nations, because they're being funded by the Tides Foundation and funded by George Soros and funded by foreign money, will fight every single step of the way because they have billionaires backing them."

Dear Albertan Seperatist,
If you hate Canada and want to leave, go. You're absolutely free to leave the country you hate.
However, you do not have the right to take millions of others that don't want to go along with you.
If you hate living in Canada, why are you staying?
If it's so critical you "get out from our government" then start the process right now. Today.
I think for some it's just a game, and you have no intentions of ever leaving. You just want to yell, rebel, and vent about a government you dislike...
There are some very serious, of course.. But why remain? Why?

@CheriDiNovo NYC is borrowing money from a pension trust and raiding a reserve fund - and increasing taxes and fees this year. Next year will be tough without serious cuts or tax increases. Ontario is borrowing too much, but at least we are building infrastructure, which was decades late
English
Governor Newsom has balanced California's deficit.
Mayor Mamdani has balanced NYC's
Doug Ford has increased Ontario's deficit to $13.8 Billion
Making the rich richer and the poor poorer fails everyone

@Cndn4Life I am not a separatist. Proud Canadian. But, wow…do you have a lot to learn.
English
There is no comparison between the Quebec and Alberta separation movements. Quebec separation is based on being a distinct society and culture. Alberta separation is based on money and the perception of some of being wronged.
English
@kinsellawarren Am not a separatist, but disagree. It’s important to get a higher court decision. The will of the voter is crucial.
English
She's a separatist and a Canada-wrecker. She's loathsome.
Courtney Theriault@cspotweet
BREAKING: Premier Danielle Smith says that while her government supports Alberta staying in Canada, she will be appealing a court decision that quashed a possible separatist petition/referendum.
English
@raghu_venugopal The most important thing we can do is take care of our own affairs properly. We have a lot of work to do and blaming others only can go so far.
English
We should be clear that the United States, Trump and MAGA are the existential threat to our sovereign nation Canada.
MeidasClips@MeidasClips
Charlie Angus and Jenny Yeremiy discuss foreign interference by the Trump regime in the Alberta separatist referendum: "I think the biggest threat to Canada and the biggest threat to Alberta is the US ... this is the way that they're trying to break us apart."
English
Imagine that. Turns out you can’t lawfully hold a referendum on whether to take something that isn’t yours: like land covered by treaties, or the sovereign territory of Canada.
