It's the 20th Anniversary of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." NONE of his scary predictions have come true. Mt. Kilimanjaro still has snow and Glacier National Park still has glaciers. Here's why we are not doomed:

If Canada wants Alberta to stay, it's actually quite simple - just treat Alberta fairly. Here's how Ottawa could do that: 1) Fix the House of Commons so it's proportional to population. 2) Fix the Senate, so it's elected and there are an equal number of seats per province. 3) Repeal the multiple pieces of legislation preventing pipeline and energy project construction and let the private sector get to work. 4) Get rid of the equalization program. 5) Convert transfer payments using a tax point transfer. 6) Give up the "spending power" on issues that are provincial jurisdiction. Note that literally none of these would change things to favour Alberta, they would simply remove existing inequalities to make things fair for all provinces. If the rest of Canada isn't willing to even consider making things fair, why should Alberta stay?

A key investor and advisor says natural resources have no relevance… When stoned or drunk he rants. Onward he slips and slops and slides. In a few years he will delete his tweets / posts.

Schools should be focused on education, not the NDP’s political activism that puts ideology ahead of academic achievement. Rank me as your #1 choice on the ballot to repeal SOGI, end the NDP’s activism, and get back to teaching kids the fundamentals they need to succeed.

For 7 years, unelected hereditary chiefs have been telling licensed British Columbians their provincial fishing permits mean nothing across a huge area in Northwest BC. People who follow the rules, bought their licences, and just want to fish are being shut out based on claims hereditary chiefs “own” the land. The thing is, it’s public land. And public land belongs to ALL British Columbians. The NDP’s minister claims provincial authority over these waters is intact. But they won’t back it up. In a democracy, elected governments should set the rules. And elected governments should enforce the rules. I’ve been saying this since before it was popular, and I’ll demand it as Conservative leader. Voting is open NOW. Vote for a leader who’ll stand firm for public access to public land, and who will fight for your democratic rights.

Across an area larger than Vancouver Island, Gitxsan hereditary chiefs are warning British Columbians with valid fishing licences away from public waterways, saying access “will be defended.” @Randene4PRSC’s Ministry says public authority remains intact. But its enforcement plan seems to be: good luck out there, and hope you have cell service if you need police. www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/spo…

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again.

I’ve had the opportunity to get to know @NVanCaroline well this spring and I’ve been incredibly impressed. She is principled, hardworking and exactly the kind of leader B.C. needs right now. Caroline will make an outstanding leader of @Conservative_BC and an exceptional Premier.

If you’re trying to understand why Albertans got pushed into a separation referendum, it’s all right here.
Catherine McKenna@cathmckenna

We really live in a petrostate where rich oil and gas companies have convinced politicians that fossil fuels are better than renewables - even though regular people are paying more to fuel their cars & heat their homes and the fossil fuel climate crisis is accelerating. Bonkers.

What don’t the Laurentien clique get about Alberta? That we are fed up with stacked media, judiciary, Senate & House of Commons. And fed up with grabby federal over-reach into our lives. And them buying into climate alarm doesn’t give them the right to strangle our economy.

Well said - anyone who blames Premier Smith or any Albertan for the current unity problems in Canada needs to look hard in the mirror and ask themselves how they would feel if for 10 years Ottawa attacked their largest job creator, triggered mid-winter instability in their power grid and topped it off with taking $25 billion in net equalization/transfers while vilifying us at the same time. Let’s cut the “Alberta is just complaining and ungrateful” BS and get to solving the obvious root problems. The energy-deal undoing the 9 destructive Trudeau laws is the first big step in undoing that damage. But there is much more to be done. And a little bit of self reflection and self awareness by Laurentian elites, eastern media and Ottawa/BC politicos would be helpful to the unity cause.

So Mark Carney's Liberal party made Canada poorer, less safe, and a place where opportunity is out of reach and the only ones getting ahead are government insiders. Sounds like Conservatives were right all along.

but you are ok with Quebec seeking to separate?
🇨🇦Wayne🇨🇦@Reil76

Alberta joined Confederation in 1905, not 1867. The founding deal was already written, the rules were already set, and Alberta signed onto an existing arrangement. Then Alberta struck oil. Now Alberta wants to rewrite the constitution it inherited. Think about that dynamic for a second. You are the new hire. You did not build the company. You did not negotiate the founding partnership agreement. You showed up decades later, accepted the terms, and were handed a desk. Then you hit a massive sales streak and suddenly you want to vote like the CEO and renegotiate the partnership from scratch. The original partners, Ontario and Quebec, built the institutional framework, absorbed the risk of Confederation, and carried the country financially for generations before Alberta was even a province. The equalization system Alberta despises today exists because the founding provinces understood that regional economies are uneven, and a country only holds together if the arrangement is broadly fair over time. Alberta’s contribution to Canada is real and significant. The oil revenues that flowed east supported federal revenues and transfers for decades. That deserves acknowledgment. But “we generate revenue now” is not the same as “we designed this institution and therefore get to unilaterally change its rules.” Every new partner in any organization brings value. That does not automatically translate into governance authority that overrides the foundational agreement everyone else built and agreed to. If Alberta wants more weight in Confederation, the path is constitutional negotiation with the other partners. Not threats. Not sovereignty referendums. Not pretending the founding compact was illegitimate because it predates your membership. You want a seat at the head table? Earn it through the process that exists. You do not get to flip the table because you are currently the top salesperson.
