@QuickDickMcDick I admire a beard/stache a guy can hang a rake on.

Canadians couldn't care less about margins.
All they see is a product they adore becoming economically unaffordable. Many won't come back to beef, ever.

We are in the meat packing business, albeit rather small compared to the large beef plants, but I can attest that margins on the packing side are virtually nonexistent right now. Our production costs and packing costs in Canada are higher than anywhere in the world. #CarbonTax

@FoodProfessor This is such a big surprise! What happened?

@liberal_party Man, this is old. Like, really, really old. And weak. Realy weak.

@Martyupnorth_2 Feels like I should stand, face into the sun, take my hat off and read this aloud with my hand over my heart. Third generation Albertan.
English

Being an Albertan means identifying with the people, culture, and spirit of our province. We live in a place known for its rugged individualism, resource-driven economy, and vast landscapes. It’s a sense of belonging shaped by a mix of historical grit, economic booms & bust cycles, and a fierce pride in standing apart....geographically and often politically...from the rest of Canada.
At its core, being Albertan ties us to the province’s cowboy heritage, rooted in ranching and the Calgary Stampede, still "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth". It’s a nod to a self-reliant mindset...think wide-open prairies, oil patch workers, and mountain towns where people tackle harsh winters and tough odds.
Our economy, heavily tied to oil & gas, breeds a pragmatic streak. Albertans are used to riding the highs of energy wealth and the lows of global market slumps. Despite the attacks from te east, In 2024, oil production hit a record 4.0 million barrels per day. Federal policies, like carbon taxes or pipeline delays, have slowed us down, but we persist.
Politically, it’s a place that leans hard into conservatism, often at odds with Ottawa’s more progressive bent. Albertans have a reputation for distrusting centralized control, manifested in things like our hatred of equalization payments that see our wealth redistributed to other provinces. In 2024, the province sent $21 billion more to federal coffers than it got back, fueling a lingering sense of being taken for granted.
Culturally, it’s a mash-up: Indigenous roots, Ukrainian settlers who brought pierogies to the plains, and a growing urban edge in our big cities. You’re Albertan if you’ve got a soft spot for hockey, a tolerance for chinook winds that swing the thermometer 20 degrees in a day, and a habit of measuring distances in hours. It’s also a quiet defiance, such as a farmer fixing his own gear, a roughneck betting on the next boom, or a city dweller mocking eastern "Laurentian elites"
Albertans are both fiercely Canadian and totally fed up with Canada. We live in a land of opportunity, and we just want to be left alone. Being Albertan is an attitude.

@CNviolations Who’s right is an interesting question. A better one would be: ‘How could this be prevented?’ Hint: think bike brakes.

@MarkJCarney Agreed. We do. And we will do everything possible to ensure we get that outcome. (Hint: it’s not Liberal.)
English

Canadians deserve a government that’s focused on outcomes.
You deserve a government that spends less, and invests more. That’s my plan: markcarney.ca/spend-less-inv…

@DhallaRuby What exactly were the reasons for your disqualification?
English

I have just been informed by the Liberal Party of Canada that I have been disqualified from the leadership race. This decision is both shocking and deeply disappointing, especially since it was leaked to the media.
The allegations that the party have used against me are false, & fabricated. The tactics used to remove me from this race only confirm what we already knew—our message was resonating, we were winning, and the establishment felt threatened.
One day it was foreign interference, one day it was campaign violations - all in an attempt to keep me from debating Carney and winning.
I will continue to stand up for Canadians & fight for Canada 🇨🇦

I get in trouble every time I say this.
