@mark_slapinski @mark_slapinski how does it feel to be as mouthy and as stupid as @LauraBabcock on X? That’s no small feat either.

Conservatives in Canada are such fucking assholes. They literally blame Carney for Trump's erratic and corrupt behaviour. Never vote for these people ever again.

@LauraBabcock Internal cultural difference? GFY lady, please.

“Big fucking difference” indeed

@CoryBMorgan Irwin is on the leading edge of the unhinged morons.

Alberta's NDP caucus folks.

@LauraBabcock You are an unhinged idiot Laura.

No answers to my question or explanations of how what Alberta separatist leaders did is not in fact treason - just ad hominem attacks about my looks, mental health. It’s telling.

@PhilMyers53 He’s a weasel. A vile weasel

Sir Keir Starmer is the most authentic man in British politics He frightens the life out of the Right #TenYearKeir

That’s not even close to the whole story. For most of us, one, two, three, or even ten pipelines changes nothing. When oil crashed in 2014, the industry had tens of thousands of layoffs. The province was hurting but there were signs of hope: Northern Gateway, Energy East, and TMX. Northern Gateway had its approval cancelled by Trudeau. Energy East was cancelled because Ottawa wanted to count upstream and downstream emissions, which put the project on shaky ground. But the coup de grace came when Québec’s prime minister at the time, François Legault said that there was “no social acceptability for a pipeline.” TC cancelled it shortly after. Finally, we fought over TMX because Ottawa wouldn’t assert its jurisdiction. Trudeau let Horgan and BC make it so risky to try to build TMX that Kinder Morgan had to pull out. Nobody wanted the federal government to buy the pipeline, they should have simply enforced the conditions to ensure it was safe for Kinder Morgan to proceed. Albertans had stayed quiet for a long time over equalization because Ottawa was staying out of our faces, so it was just the price to pay to operate in this country. But when came time to help Alberta after the oil crash, the whole nation turned its back on us and proceeded to crush the three beacons of hope we were counting on to turn the corner. That’s when a lot of us started paying closer attention to politics to figure out how to get our voices heard. It didn’t take very long before we started looking at seats in the House of Commons and the Senate and realizing how unequal and unfair our representation is in Ottawa. Bottom line is that we’re effectively screwed and that the people we subsidize through equalization continuously vote for governments that attack our industry. Fixing the constitutional mess is impossible because it would require either Ontario or Québec and all the maritime provinces to vote in favour of curtailing their own political power. It will never happen. In 2019, we figured that Canada was going to be smart enough to realize that Trudeau was a disaster and we’d get back some common sense. Wrong. Trudeau was voted in for a second time. If you were in the oil and gas industry at the time, you probably had your first taste of western alienation with the Wexit movement instantly polling above 30% in support of independence. Next up is covid and that’s when all hell broke loose with the spending, the OIC to prohibit common guns, etc. Albertans’ living standards were the most impacted by Trudeau and now Carney’s insane deficit spending. We watched as Trudeau pranced around on the world stage, virtue-signalling with our money while the cost of living was sky rocketing. In FY 2024-2025, we watched the Liberals send $13B abroad between gender equality and climate change foreign aid, while running a $36.3B deficit. We had one last hope with Pierre looking like he was going to get elected and stop the bleeding. But they parachuted Carney in and the rest is history. The country’s finances are in shambles and it would take 3 generations to fix this mess if we started today by doing the obvious, which Ottawa is still refusing to do. Ottawa is fiscally irresponsible and now headed down a very dangerous path of authoritarianism with all the bills that were passed in this parliamentary session. Alberta independence supporters see the writing on the wall and don’t care about any number of pipelines. Once you’ve looked close enough at the system, you realize it can’t be fixed and there’s no coming back from realizing the true extent of the mess Canada is in. The Canada we grew up in doesn’t exist anymore. It is a sinking ship and independence is the only way to save Alberta.

@JustinTrudeau Another useless leech at the trough

Son Excellence la très honorable Mary Simon a apporté dignité, sagesse et compassion à la fonction de gouverneure générale à un moment où le Canada avait besoin d’un leadership stable et d’une réflexion approfondie. En tant que première personne Autochtone à occuper le poste de gouverneure générale, elle a aidé notre pays à aller de l’avant avec plus d’honnêteté face à notre passé et plus d’espoir pour notre avenir. Elle a fait entrer les récits, la force et les points de vue des communautés inuites à Rideau Hall et au cœur de nos conversations nationales. Au fil de ces années, les Canadiens ont vu en elle une dirigeante qui savait écouter attentivement, servir avec humilité et nous rappeler que la réconciliation n’est pas une destination, mais une responsabilité. Pour moi, tu étais d’une grande sagesse, profondément empathique et toujours éclairante, ainsi qu’une bonne amie. Tout comme l’était Whit. Merci, Mary, pour ton engagement envers le Canada et pour avoir contribué à façonner un pays plus inclusif et plus compatissant pour les générations à venir. Nakurmiik, Ningiukudluk.

@jmhamiltonblog Hey JM, you need a hug you whiner?

Petulant, entitled, angry, aggrieved, forever the victim… and apparently above the law… … just like her base of support.

@Martyupnorth Kenney is a federalist yes man.

This didn't age well.

@sarobertson_ @acoyne Says the beta male dumb dumb who has sewered his province. Man is dumb as a god damned stump.

BC Premier David Eby on Ottawa-Alberta MOU: “As a country, it's time to stop rewarding bad behaviour. It cannot be the case that the projects that get prioritized in Canada are those where a Premier threatens to leave the country."

@RodAVanier Actually Rod, you are the idiot.

You are such an idiot! Canada will sell to Canadians looking to invest in infrastructure. Not just anyone!

@CoryBMorgan No Time to go

Straw poll time. Has the Alberta/Ottawa agreement to maybe, possibly, hopefully approve a pipeline in a year and a half made you less inclined to vote for independence in a referendum? Yes or no.

@MarcNixon24 Rosie can fuck right off. “Cooperative federalism” working for Alberta but what about the rest of us. Whiny, entitled, fiscal/energy illiterate leech too stupid to understand.

This is absolutely glorious the witness The liberal voter base will be turning on Mark Carney The lefties don’t like what he’s doing Let’s be real only a conservative government will remove all of this net zero nonsense Meanwhile, let the lefties melt

@mark_slapinski You are a narcissistic little turd Mark.

I just got off the phone with one of the BEST defamation lawyers in Canada. He's willing to represent me for FREE if Donald Trump sues me for defamation. The question is: Will Donald Trump co-operate with discovery?

@mark_slapinski @realDonaldTrump @PressSec @WhiteHouse @RapidResponse47 Nice highlights Mark.

My name is Mark Slapinski. A journalist based in Toronto. I'm so confident that Donald Trump is a pedophile, I encourage him to SUE ME for defamation. cc: @realDonaldTrump @PressSec @WhiteHouse @RapidResponse47

@LauraBabcock Fuck off Laura. Just put a sock in your incessant caterwauling yap.

The Alberta Separatist movement losing and Smith resigning? Will do

@mark_slapinski This is Mark Slapinski

I might lose followers for this But I believe viruses are real And I'm willing to take precautions to protect myself and my community from the HANTAVIRUS

@jmhamiltonblog You really are a petulant little man JM.

She's a very, very, very bad person. Greed and her career before everything else... she'd sellout Canada for a $1 and hang it on the wall.

@RodAVanier Like Jasper that largely went up and where the Feds in a national park told their people to stand down Rod? off you lying idiot.

You know what it not a scam? Wildfires burning down entire towns! Floods wiping our communities! Heat domes killing seniors! Drought destroying crops and farms! Insurance premiums going astronomical!!!

@TroyWestwood Put a sock in it @TroyWestwood . You are whining little man who acts tough calling anyone that considers separation “Trump losers”. The debating skill of a petulant child.

These separatists are supreme losers. It is you who does not belong in Canada. You have no right to Alberta. Alberta is not yours. Alberta is a beautiful and important province in Canada. Alberta belongs to Canadians. Not to treasonous separatist MAGA and Trump influenced scumbag losers. The natural course of history will be you and all the treasonous separatist losers getting the f*ck out of the country. All you losers love your MAGA, go to Trump’s USA. Sincerely the vast majority of Albertans, and all proud Canadians. 🇨🇦
