@Tablesalt13 The word “democracy” doesn’t exist in their vocabulary. Literally.

NEW Native chief in Alberta calls shutting down a referendum a win "for the democractic process" Can't even make this up.

@Cndn4Life Both are separation movements. So they are identical by definition.

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.

@LauraBabcock Sounds like BQ to me. And they are in parliament. So, where is the standard?

Danielle Smith can’t have it both ways. She’s either for Canada 🇨🇦 or working with the Separatists. She’s made a choice using tax dollars to appeal. Shame. youtu.be/GGxeyRaFcJk?...

@ToewsWenda Democracy means people vote and we respect the results. Let it happen. If there is nothing to fear, it’s a non-event.

Danielle Smith clearly does not represent the interests of the majority of Albertans. Smith is aware that only about 15–16% of Albertans are committed to independence regardless of the economic costs. Yet she insists on having a referendum question on separation. That’s 16% of Albertans wanting to force 84% of Albertans into a provincial separation that they don’t want. Yet Smith is strongly motivated to represent Separatists. With Danielle Smith’s consistent dishonesty, with the help that she received from David Parker to become the leader of the UCP, with her desire to not respect judicial decisions and with not expressing any negative vocalization about having party members that openly support separatist ideology, it is very difficult to believe that Smith would honestly share the results of a referendum. Nor is it believable that she would respect the results of this referendum. It’s time for Albertans to stand against Danielle Smith and against the UCP.

@bruce_arthur Sounds like BQ to me. And they are in parliament. So, sure. Let it be.

It's really hard to argue that she is anything but the leader of a would-be separatist party

@PrairieVeteran Doesn’t really matter. He will be PM in 10-15 years.

The Ottawa Blackjacks had Trudeau Junior, who thinks he's going to be a successful rap artist, perform at their home opener. I could not imagine sitting through this.😬 No wonder there was so many empty seats.

@RodAVanier Can you point me to the consultation documents of the two QC referendums? Just to compare notes. Please and thank you.

They also have an obligation to consult!

@KenBoessenkool Bloc Quebecois ran two independence referendums and they are in parliament. So, yes, she can. Unless it’s good there and bad here. Pick a lane.

This should disqualify her to be the leader of a federalist party. Sadly, she’s turned that party over to the separatists.

@Reil76 I am really hard looking for the First Nations consent for the independence referendums in Quebec but no luck. Can you please forward the information? Thank you!

Good morning. Quick update: the courts took one look at that referendum push and said “no thanks.” Petition denied. Game over before it even started. Turns out you don’t just get to break up a country because you’re in a mood. There are rules. There are laws. And they apply to everyone. All that talk, all that buildup, and it didn’t even make it onto the field. Anyway, Canada’s still here. Functioning. Intact. Not going anywhere. You’re still part of it, whether you like it or not. Welcome back. 🇨🇦

@Mellyfax Can you imagine if a court in Quebec had the same decision before the previous two referendums for independence? It would have been a civil war. The double standard is deafening.

Danielle Smith just made it crystal clear what side she’s on. Using Albertans’ tax dollars to appeal a democratic court decision instead of respecting it. It’s time for Albertans to stand up to her, this abuse of power and public money cannot keep being ignored.

@kinsellawarren Same as some Quebec politicians. And they have representation in the parliament! 😱 The double standard is deafening. 😬

She's a separatist and a Canada-wrecker. She's loathsome.

@KahlonRav If it was such a good business, the funding will come from VCs.

B.C. has some of the best businesses and universities in the world. Proud to announce @InBCInvestment & @SFU are launching a $20M SFU Innovates Venture Fund to support life sciences, deep tech, and cleantech companies like Photonic, to create good jobs and succeed in B.C. 1/2

@therealmrbench The bruh will be PM after the 20 years of Carney’s regime… 🤷‍♂️

We barely survived one Trudeau sequel nobody asked for. Now Xavier Trudeau is performing at the Ottawa BlackJacks home opener halftime show and apparently believes he is a budding rapper. Lord help Canada if this is the soft launch for the next Trudeau dynasty. Canada does not need the remix.

@nenshi Here is another revolutionary idea: why don’t we respect the most basic principle of the constitution. It’s called confederation. And a province may or may not participate in it. And, shockingly, ALL the people in said province may have a say on it. It’s called democracy.

Today, a judge has thrown out the Alberta separatist petition because Danielle Smith’s UCP government failed in its legal duty to consult First Nations. I want to thank the fearless First Nations who stood up and led this fight against separatism – not just for their nations, but for all Albertans and for Canadians. Specifically, thank you to the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, the Blackfoot Confederacy, and Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, for fighting for our country with your time and money. First Nations are not alone, as the vast majority of Albertans stand alongside them, opposed to a costly, divisive exercise. This referendum violates treaty rights, it would cost Albertans hundreds of millions of dollars, and is now tied to serious public safety concerns thanks to the largest data breach in Alberta’s history. The Premier says that she’s exploring other ideas. Here’s an idea, Premier: call off the referendum and put this to bed. This petition is dead. This referendum is dead. For the premier to spend taxpayer time and money to resurrect it, would prove what we’ve always known: she’s a separatist. Accept the court’s decision. Nobody is above the law – and certainly not this Premier. Albertans are proud Canadians and want nothing more than to move on from this and focus on the things that really matter.

@Tablesalt13 Liberals: “This bill is needed to protect Canadians from the big bad wolf and the scary new world out there. You Canadians are stupid and need our protection”.

‼️MAJOR BREAKING: Carney's surveillance Bill C-22 comes under fire from Big Tech + US Government -Signal: "we will pull out of Canada" -Meta: "the bill will conscript private companies into service as an arm of the government’s surveillance apparatus" -Apple suggested it might withdraw some of its privacy services if Bill C-22 is passed as is -Jim Jordan, chair of the judiciary committee: "it will drastically expand Canada’s surveillance and data-access powers in ways that create significant cross-border risks to the security and data privacy of Americans."

@acoyne This just proves once more what many are saying: Canada doesn’t exist anymore. We are not free to make decisions without asking the “rightful owners”. That fact negates the very existence of the confederation.

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.

@TheBlueGem3 My friend in Canada spouse had a heart attack. After waiting 12 hours in the ER was sent back home with Aspirin. He passed 24 hours later at home. No medical bill came. But it doesn’t mean anything because the funerals were quite expensive. No Canadian deserves this.

My friend in the US spouse had a heart attack last week. Thankfully he’s recovering but now the stress of cost has hit their family. They estimate after insurance over $100,000 in medical bills. No Canadian wants American style healthcare. Canadian Forever!! 🇨🇦

@DanMazierMP It went to the same company that is going to receive a few hundred millions to build an AI Data center (whatever that means) in BC.

This is the $300 MILLION PrescribeIT scandal the Liberals don't want you asking about. PrescribeIT was supposed to replace fax machines. It failed. Now it's being shut down and Mark Carney's Health Minister is hoping you don't notice your money is gone. Where did the money go?

@HarmanBhanguBC This is the epitome of socialism. In USSR back in the 60s and 70s everyone was employed by the government. It created an artificial economy that not surprisingly, collapsed with a bang in the 80s. 40 years later, here we are.

B.C. has lost nearly 60,000 private-sector jobs since January. Not government jobs, PRIVATE-SECTOR jobs. The jobs that actually create wealth, drive investment, and pay the taxes that fund everything else. Meanwhile, after years of massive government expansion, British Columbians are now staring down a $13.3 BILLION deficit, soaring debt, higher taxes, collapsing business confidence, and rising unemployment. This is what happens when government grows while the productive economy shrinks. Working people are losing jobs, businesses are pulling back, young people are losing hope, and the NDP has its head in the sand while B.C.’s economy weakens in real time.

@melissacare01 This being Trudeau’s pet project, it will never happen. However I believe a few billion dollars will be spent before it doesn’t happen. Take the money and keep working your farm. It will be there in 2095. 🤗

We received the paperwork from Alto High-Speed Rail regarding our dairy farm today, and with it came a profound sense of grief. What is being presented as progress carries devastating consequences for the people and places rooted in this land, farms, family homes, wildlife habitats, small businesses, churches, and even cemeteries stand in the path of irreversible change. For many of us in Eastern Ontario, this is far more than an infrastructure project. It is the beginning of a deep psychological and emotional loss. This project is expected to cost Canadians billions of dollars amounting to roughly $10,000 per Canadian. Massive 16 foot barriers and fencing will divide communities, block side roads and destroy the countryside that generations of families have called home. Current projections suggest it may not be fully paid off until 2093 leaving future generations responsible for the cost. In our case, the proposed route leaves us without enough productive land to properly feed our cows and sustain our dairy operation. 500 farms will be removed, the impact on farming families will be severe and long-lasting. All Canadians deserve to be fully informed about what this project truly means not just in terms of transportation, but in terms of the human cost, these are not empty fields on a map. They are livelihoods, ecosystems, histories, and communities that cannot be replaced once they are gone. Source: Melissa McPhee Ontario 🇨🇦 Please contact your MP to stop this train. Thank you.
