@Tablesalt13 @MarkJCarney And his MPs

@MarkJCarney Wasnt this Pierre's idea? LMAO, your career is just stealing his ideas.

We’re saving you money at the pump. Starting next Monday, we’re suspending the federal Fuel Excise Tax on gasoline and diesel across Canada. You’ll save up to 10 cents per litre from April 20 until Labour Day.

@DLeBlancNB When did we choose that?

Canadians chose a forward-looking vision—one focused on economic growth, stronger communities, and real opportunities for everyone. From Terrebonne to University—Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest, voters have sent a clear message: they want leadership that delivers. Let’s keep building a stronger Canada—together.

@truenorthchat @JasminLaine_ Millions of Canadians can’t afford to eat and are using food banks. Who do you think pays the $4.4B for the dental plan? Do you know anyone that used the dental plan? I have read that 50% of claims are denied and many who do get accepted still have co pays they can’t afford.

@austynrylee @JasminLaine_ The Canadian Dental Care Plan. Millions of Canadians now have dental coverage.

Fascinating that the Trump administration would highlight this as a trade pressure point (and rightfully so), and instead of being diplomatic... he mocks it. Foolish error. Grave mistake for anyone cheering it on. I wonder how they'd all feel should 75% of our exports suddenly have nowhere to go. I wonder how successful they'd view Carney's trade MOUs at that point. This is pure pride. Evil. Narcissism. With pride comes disgrace...

@JonFromAlberta @BillboardChris He is from BC. His opinion is irrelevant.

@BillboardChris Do you support Alberta Independence yet?

Mark Carney has won a majority Liberal government tonight. The Liberals needed just one victory out of 3 by-elections. They easily won the two Toronto ridings, and are currently leading in Terrebonne in Quebec, in a close race with the Bloc Québécois. Conservative numbers are way down from the 2025 general election.

@MarkJCarney Come together? You have an unelected majority government!!

This is a time to come together so we can build a Canada strong for all. My statement on today's by-elections in University–Rosedale, Scarborough Southwest, and Terrebonne.

@truenorthchat @JasminLaine_ These are all things that the Liberals implemented and repealed. What is one thing that they have done that has helped Canadians? Not problems they created and then tried to fix.

@austynrylee @JasminLaine_ Did you read it? So nothing on this list makes a difference for Canadians?

@truenorthchat @JasminLaine_ What did any of these things do for the everyday Canadian? Please give me one example of how any of these things made a difference?

@austynrylee @JasminLaine_ x.com/paulstewartii/…

@truenorthchat @JasminLaine_ We’ve been saying diversify and build for 10 years. When will it start? Thank you for what? Increased cost of living, rising crime, the 2M in food bank lines ups, immigration, housing shortages. Name one thing that the liberals have done in 10 years we should be thankful for.

@austynrylee @JasminLaine_ Wrong. We're hyper focussed on Canada because of Trump! Trump opened our eyes to how vulnerable we are when all our eggs are in their basket so we need to diversify and build and that's what we're going to do. You'll thank us eventually. You're welcome:)

@gnarkz @furmsies Investment has already been scared away. Even the PM moved his companies to the US. Investors being driven away is not on Alberta.

@austynrylee @furmsies Yes because the vast majority dont want to separate. Useless and will scare away investment. Embarrassing. We live in one of the best countries in the world.

Honest question, Is the Alberta separatist movement nothing more than a white supremacy movement? The evidence of my eyes and ears say it is so.

@truenorthchat @JasminLaine_ It’s not a pivot. It’s true. We are so focused on Trump and America that we don’t see Canada going down the drain right before our eyes. It will get worse and we will have only ourselves to blame.

@austynrylee @JasminLaine_ Nice pivot 🙄

@ThouDothProtest @ABDanielleSmith What rights are those?

@ABDanielleSmith Unless you’re gay or trans and want to live a life with the same rights as everyone else. That’s your legacy Marlaina!

Alberta is the place to be! We’re seeing record-breaking tourism, with a growing number of international visitors choosing Alberta. It’s amazing to see people from around the world falling in love with our province, just like we all have.

@guyfelicella I feel the same way about the Canadian anthem. It will always be “in all thy son’s command” to me.

Oh no… I heard Elon Musk doesn’t like it when we keep calling it Twitter 😏 Twitter. Twitter. Twitter. You can rename the app, rebrand the logo, and even buy the whole company… But you can’t buy what people call it. It’s Twitter. Always has been, always will be!

@truenorthchat @JasminLaine_ Who cares what memes Trump posts. Of all the problems Canada is facing crime, cost of living, lack of healthcare, immigration, drugs, poor economy….not one of those things has anything to do with Trump. We are to blame for all these problems and Carney is not going to fix them.

@austynrylee @JasminLaine_ Trump has mocked our PMs. Trump has called us 51st state. Trump has posted memes of a bald eagle trampling on a Canadian goose. Trump has called us nasty. Trump has said Canada is ripping them off. Give me a fucking break!!! Trump started this shit!

@longcovidpnw @guyfelicella The only people I know that has long covid were vaccinated. 🤷‍♀️

@guyfelicella The fact that First Wave Covid… caused LongCovid and many of those did not take the vaccine are still sick AF today No treatments No Social Services No Peer Support No nothing!

Breaking: Elon Musk replaces years of medical research with ‘trust me bro, I had a rough night.’ SMH 🙄

@truenorthchat @JasminLaine_ What did he do to mock us? Was it when he booed our anthem during events, when he removed Canadian items from store shelves or advised Americans not to travel to Canada? Was it the billboards he put out during the Super Bowl?

@JasminLaine_ “Evil. Narcissism” that’s Trump. He’s the one who targeted Canada and chose to mock us. We tried diplomacy but he had no interest. Carney’s point is that we have Canadian pride, as we should and as you should, but instead you prefer to keep aligning with the bully!

@gnarkz @furmsies Most Albertans don’t want a referendum?

@austynrylee @furmsies Majority of Albertans don't want it.

@saturn92526 @echipiuk You’re talking about separation. I’m talking about the referendum. The referendum is a good thing. If people vote to stay then it’s case closed. If people vote to leave, there must be good faith negotiations between federal and provincial governments. What is wrong with that?

@austynrylee @echipiuk The province will pay economically. Forget investments… they won’t be as big as they could You will divide people even more… it will cause stress… The US wants this to happen. They’re also probably somewhat behind it. Pay attention. Polling shows its not close… Bad idea

Say it with me, loudly, proudly, clearly and confidently: The people have the right to self-determination. We do not need permission to exercise it! Right now, there is excitement about the prospect of an independence referendum in Alberta. And rightly so. It’s truly inspiring to see Albertans paying attention, asking serious questions and preparing to directly exercise their democratic voices -- lawfully, peacefully and powerfully. Citizen engagement at this scale is not something to fear. It is something to respect and protect. I remember back in the 1990s, when I was a young girl, hearing adults talk about the Quebec referendum. I didn’t really understand what it meant. In my child’s mind, I imagined that if Quebec voted “yes,” it would somehow float away and become its own little island. What strikes me today is not that a child once misunderstood a constitutional question—but that decades later, many adults still do. Because even now there are people who speak as though Alberta voting on its future would result in chaos and disorder overnight. That simply is not the case. That is why I am here today to inspire confidence in the process and to address, directly and without apology, those who deliberately sow fear, while disparaging fellow citizens. A healthy democracy does not mock civic engagement; it depends on it and thrives because of it. So let us set aside the noise, speculation, and deliberate nonsense and focus on one simple question: What does the day after a successful referendum actually look like? In the morning, when we, the citizens of the beautiful and resilient province of Alberta, wake up to the news that Albertans have exercised their right to self-determination and voted to become a truly free and independent nation, life continues much as it did the day before. Let that settle the alarmists and the fear mongers. Legally speaking, the Constitution will not disappear. The laws of Canada will remain in force. Courts will continue to function. Contracts remain binding. Schools and hospitals remain open. Businesses will continue to power the life of the province. Life will go on. What does change is something far more powerful and unprecedented in Alberta history: The great people of Alberta will have spoken clearly and legally. And that injects something into the system that cannot be ignored—honesty. And we need a good dose of that! A clear democratic mandate from the people strips away pretence and political games. It forces public institutions and office holders to confront what Albertans actually want, rather than what is most convenient for them. Elected officials—federally, provincially, and including Indigenous leadership—are no longer free to dismiss, delay, or deflect. They are constitutionally required to listen. And more than that they are required to act. When the people speak clearly, the obligations of those in power changes. This is democracy functioning exactly as designed. That is what the day after looks like. This referendum is not a tantrum. It is not rebellion or a negotiating tactic. And it certainly is not treason. A referendum is one of the simplest and most direct expressions of the democratic will of the people. Even the Supreme Court of Canada has been clear on this point. And this cannot be ignored. Albertans are law-abiding people. We do not rush change but when change becomes necessary, we meet it responsibly.

@saturn92526 @echipiuk Why wouldn’t giving every Albertan the chance to vote be a good idea?

@austynrylee @echipiuk You sound like you don’t quite understand the implications. Excited is quite the word. When all is said and done you will realize that it wasn’t a good idea.

@ChiefCopenace Why is that?

I listened to Mark Carney today. I am so happy he is Prime Minister and Pierre Poilievre is not.

@saturn92526 @echipiuk Even that is a lot of people. I am excited to see a referendum.

@austynrylee @echipiuk Credible polling puts it in the 20-30% range… (the yes vote) ~60% minimum are FIRM. They aren’t changing their opinion. Also, Clarity Act mentions a “clear majority”… It’s not a 50+1 scenario… Oh, and First Nations… Yeah, it’s not happening. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
