Canada's role in taking firm action – often trailblazing – to ramp up pressure against Russia and in rallying allies across the Atlantic to support Ukraine is greatly appreciated by Ukrainians. Ultimately, this is what will help bring Russia's war to an end. Thank you, Mark, and all Canadians for your support and condolences.
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney

Yesterday, Russia launched one of its largest drone and missile attacks on Ukraine in four years. Canada unequivocally condemns these indiscriminate attacks. I express my deepest condolences to those injured and everyone mourning their loved ones. Canada stands with Ukraine as it defends itself against this unconscionable aggression and we will work with allies to sustain pressure on Russia to bring this conflict to an end.

@RevZekveld who said motherhood is slavery? Which feminist writers are you referring to, Nathan? Have you read Judith Butler? You’d like her, I think.

Feminism depicted motherhood as slavery. Young men thought that free love was more free than the goodness of a life-long commitment to a woman and raising 10 children. We have now seen that this has ended in slavery. The freeman is one who is fruitful, works hard and loves God.

@MarcDFroese's statement only shows his complete spiritual ignorance. That's okay, every denomination needs a Judas; and the end times calls for several anti-Christs. False preachers share in the same outcome. Scholarly sources date the Epistle of James to the mid-1st century amid early Christian persecution and socio-economic tensions, there is no evidence of James personally facing a "tsunami of lawsuits." James remained in Jerusalem as a pillar of the church (see Acts 15 and Galatians 2), writing as a pastor to his scattered “brothers and sisters” who were all enduring real suffering - not abstract difficulties. Don't soft pedal the bible. Don't lump every believer and every Independence advocate into the same cesspool you swim in...

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1: 2-4

It’s interesting that the movement is only worried about the social consequences of their extremism now.
Nathan Zekveld@RevZekveld

Let's say that the notion of Alberta Separation or Independence is exactly what some are saying it is. Foolish. Wrong-headed. Traitorous. What are you going to do with all the God-fearing business and family men in the movement? I am reminded here of a quote by CS Lewis. “In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” The way that most Canadians are handling this Movement speaks of hard days for every Canadian.

It is practically a certainty that right wing American and Russian money have found their way to Alberta separatism.
Jeffrey Rath@JeffreyRWRath

BREAKING - My response to the dumbass suggestion that Alberta Prosperity Project or Stayfree Alberta are “Russian”. Keep in mind that all of this nonsense is coming from losers with Ukranian flags in their bios. They obviously don’t want the gravy train interrupted by Alberta pulling its wealth out of Canada!

Why did Marty take the time to remove his contact information? I thought this was OK to be public and all just random information from a phone book.

The constant raging online is getting completely out of control. At times it feels less like adults engaging in discussion and more like adults-turned-children the moment they log on. Name-calling. Personal attacks. Mockery. Endless outrage. Where are the adults in the room? Disagreement is normal. Debate is healthy. But somewhere along the way, many people stopped trying to understand each other and started treating every conversation like a fight to win. A society cannot function when everything becomes anger, tribalism, and emotional reaction. We should be able to disagree without dehumanizing one another. Or is this asking too much?!

Jeff, you must have been terribly disappointed. 300k signatures looks like small potatoes. Seems our premier was prescient when she changed the rules to help your movement cross a lower bar.
Jeffrey Rath@JeffreyRWRath

BREAKING - CALGARY - 3 days since Mitch Sylvestre turned in 301,620 signatures to Elections Alberta and served a Statutory Declaration on Danielle Smith with no response from the Premier’s Office. No public statement, no congratulatory note to Mitch Sylvestre - UCP Constituency Association President of the Year, no expression of gratitude for the 7,000 hard working Stay Free Alberta Canvassers or the 301,620 hard working Albertans who stood in lines into the dark Alberta January nights because Elections Alberta was so slow to issue canvasser badges… Nothing from @ABDanielleSmith other than a surly silence as she jets off to Ottawa to meet with Mark Carney and receive secret briefings from CSIS as to how they are going to work against the people who voted her into office. Her communications genius Matt Altheim must have worked overtime on THIS strategy.

What’s that, like 15% of David Parker’s voter list? Not very impressive.
Jeffrey Rath@JeffreyRWRath

BREAKING - NDP yammering about what “Separatist Leader Jeffrey Rath said” or didn’t say. The point is this. 301,620 Albertans signed a lawful petition for a lawful constitutional question that complies with the Clarity Act. Danielle Smith will ignore them and NOT put their question on a referendum ballot further to HER DISCRETION under S. 1. of the Referendum Act at her political peril regardless of any decision by Elections Alberta or the court. Justice Feasby in fact confirmed that Premier Smith can legally call the question without a petition. This is now on Premier Smith. She has been served with a Statutory Declaration attesting to the 301,620 Albertans who did what she asked and followed the law to deliver their wishes to her. They represent 17% of the voter turnout in the last election and in some constituencies over 90% of the UCP Vote in the last election. Premier Smith - Albertans require you to do the right thing and call the question as you promised you would. Sincerely, Jeffrey R.W. Rath

@RevZekveld @Doubletapp187 I’m somewhat skeptical about whether it would go all the way to criminal charges (it could). But almost certainly David Parker and others will be sued for damages.

Marty and the rest of the secessionist ‘dirty dozen’ love this narrative. In reality, millennials (and some Gen X) will inherit the vast wealth of the Boomer generation.

@RevZekveld The leader of your denomination is a proud Christian nationalist. His postmillenial theology looks forward a time when Christians rule the whole world.

People accuse me of Christian Nationalism all the time. Nationalism is historically a philosophically and morally bankrupt system. I love Christ and the light He brings to men & nations.

@RevZekveld There’s sec 93 of the BNA Act, sec 2 of the Charter. We don’t have a formal separation of church and state because our constitution protects those rights in the Westminster tradition. MAGA’s Christian nationalism advocates for an erosion of the separation of church and state.

The funny thing is that Canada does not recognize the separation of church & state. The King of England is Head of the Anglican Church. People drop terms like MAGA, but the MAGA crowd actually advocate for a far lesser connection of church & state than historic Canada/England.
