The current state of Canada in a nutshell:

Thomas Lukaszuk and his team counted their signatures and publicly announced the results before submitting the boxes to Elections Alberta. Alberta law allows the same for Mitch Sylvestre's independence petition. If you haven't signed yet, do it ASAP — every signature counts toward building support for the Oct 19 ballot.

One of the governments with a record of beating women to death for not covering their hair in public, has been nominated to a committee responsible for policy on women’s rights. One of the governments with a record of executing their citizens for questioning the government, has been nominated to a committee responsible for policy on human rights. One of the governments with a record of refusing to stop illegally developing nuclear weapons, has been nominated to a committee responsible for policy on disarmament. One of the governments with a record of terrorism snd financing and directing terror proxies, has been nominated to a committee responsible for policy on counterterrorism. And Australia, Canada, the UK and many of the EU countries support this. Are they naive? Complicit? Afraid to offend? One thing they definitely are, is fucked.

If your only arguments for Alberta to stay in Canada are based on nostalgia for the past, then I’ve got good news for you. Independent Alberta will more closely resemble the Canada of the past than this Canada, this completely screwed up and failing Canada, ever will.

@erik_thorvalds If Elections Alberta is no longer certifying the results does that change the rules around campaigning, advertising, donating and collecting signatures?

Democracy Is Already Dead in Canada: Alberta’s Independence Referendum Just Proved It Yesterday, April 10, 2026, Justice Shaina Leonard of Alberta’s Court of King’s Bench handed down a one-month stay on the Stay Free Alberta petition. Signature collection continues until May 2, but Elections Alberta is now barred from certifying those signatures or referring the matter to Justice Minister Mickey Amery. The reason? First Nations groups like Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and others claim the very act of asking Albertans a democratic question somehow violates treaty rights. This isn’t law. This is lawfare; the weaponization of the courts to strangle the will of the people before it can even be counted. And it exposes the rotting core of Canadian “democracy”: when the results might threaten the Laurentian elite’s grip, the rules change overnight. This is how it has always been between Canada and Alberta. For decades we have been the golden goose bled dry for equalization cheques that fund bike lanes in Halifax and universities in Montréal while our energy sector is shackled by industrial carbon taxes, rejected pipelines, and federal “net-zero” fantasies that ignore physics and economics. The National Energy Program in the ‘80s was just the overt chapter of a longer story: Ottawa extracts our wealth, regulates our prosperity into the ground, then lectures us about “national unity” when we dare complain. Every time Alberta pushes back; whether on resource revenue, equalization formulas, or Senate reform—the answer is the same: courts, regulators, or political sleight-of-hand to keep the tap flowing eastward. The floor-crossers in Ottawa propping up Carney’s Liberals are only the latest symptom. Confederation was always a lopsided deal sold to the West on promises of fairness that were never kept. Alberta didn’t ask to bankroll the federation while being treated like a subordinate colony. We built this land on grit, risk, and resource wealth. Ottawa’s response has been extraction dressed up as solidarity. And that is precisely why yesterday’s ruling is a sea change. This isn’t fringe frustration anymore. Albertans who once believed we could “vote our way out” of this mess; loyal CPC voters, mainstream conservatives, even some who rolled their eyes at sovereignty talk—are now waking up. The petition smashed the 177,000-signature threshold early. The stay isn’t killing momentum; it’s fuel. People see the mask slip: when the democratic machinery threatens the status quo, the machinery is simply turned off. More Albertans than ever are concluding the only way to protect our future is to build a new one. Alberta isn’t “separatist.” We’re exhausted. Exhausted by a federation that takes our resources, mocks our values, and now uses the courts to silence our questions. Yesterday wasn’t a setback. It was confirmation. The roller coaster is just getting started. The petition is still alive. The signatures are still pouring in. And the conversation Albertans are having around kitchen tables, rig sites, and boardrooms has fundamentally shifted: Independence is no longer unthinkable. It’s becoming inevitable. Strap in, Alberta. History doesn’t wait for judicial permission. It is made by people who refuse to stay silent. #AlbertaIndependence

@AntonioTweets2 Or…. We could save $5 billion by not sending money to Ukraine and other weird ‘subsidy’ programs around the world.

Liberals love this 🤦🏻‍♂️

Burger Daddy located at 6448 157 Avenue NW, Edmonton, AB, T5Y 2N5 has been found non-compliant with Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program regulations and fined $31000 CAD and received a ban status of Eligible. Violations Found: • Code 4: The employer couldn’t show that the description they gave for the job on the Labour Market Impact Assessment application was true, for a period of 6 years, starting on the first day the foreign national worked for them.Provision: 209.3(1)(c)(i) • Code 15: The employer was not actively engaged in the business that the foreign national was hired to work for (aside from live-in caregivers).Provision: 209.2(1)(a)(i) or 209.3(1)(a)(i) Date of Final Decision: 2026-03-31 This enforcement action underscores the Canadian government's commitment to upholding the integrity of the Temporary Foreign Worker program, which safeguards vulnerable migrant workers from exploitation in the labour market. With a ban status of Eligible, the employer faced financial penalties but retains the ability to hire temporary foreign workers moving forward, provided it adheres to all regulations. Such oversight is crucial, as it deters abuses that could otherwise lead to poor working conditions, wage discrepancies, or unsafe environments for newcomers relying on these positions. By imposing these measures, authorities reinforce program rules that prioritize fair treatment and economic contributions from temporary foreign labour across Canada.

A lot of people in these comments are throwing insults for saying Carney wasn't elected. None of them have pointed out a single fact that's wrong. So let me be very clear. I never said it was illegal. I never said that he was the first to become Prime Minister without being an MP. I said he was “the first Prime Minister in Canadian history to have never been elected to public office”. And the bigger picture is the part nobody in the comments wants to touch 👇 The Carney government was about to fall. All three opposition parties — Conservatives, NDP, Bloc — said they'd vote non-confidence. Conservatives had a 24-point lead 📉 The government was done. So Trudeau prorogued Parliament. Shut it down. Suspended democracy so the confidence vote couldn't happen. CBC confirmed it: "the Liberals will avoid a confidence vote." Then during that suspension, 0.38% of Canadians chose Carney as Liberal leader. Then Trudeau — the man they had no confidence in — advised the GG to appoint Carney as PM 👑 Same party. Same government. Same Salesman. You cannot claim he had the confidence of Parliament when they suspended Parliament specifically to avoid testing it. And since then? He has fooled this country at every turn 👇 📄 Said he'd "axe the tax." Scrapped the one you could see. Kept the hidden one — 7¢/litre. Zero rebates. Industrial carbon tax still climbing to $170/tonne. 📄 Said he'd fix the $390M slush fund. "Replaced" it with a $5B version. Same minister. Bigger budget. 📄 His ethics screen covers 5% of Brookfield. The Ethics Commissioner said under oath his future pay is tied to Brookfield's success. 📄 Said he'd stand up to China. Flew to Beijing. Dropped EV tariffs from 100% to 6.1%. Slave labour imports from Xinjiang grew from $59M to $601M. Canada blocked 2 shipments. The US blocked over 1,000. 📄 Campaigned on 380,000 immigrants. Real number is 765,000+. The UN called the program "a breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery." 📄 $35.8M in taxpayer money went to companies his wife advises. 📄 Appointed a BlackRock executive to run international trade. BlackRock and Brookfield are co-investors. 📄 5 MPs crossed the floor with no by-elections. 74% of Canadians across ALL parties say that's wrong. 📄 Now he's personally choosing the next Governor General — the person who signs his laws into effect. No vote. No public input. This is what you're defending. Read that list again. Slowly. Then tell me which one is wrong. I'll correct it publicly. And this is just what fit in one post. The pinned post on my profile has the full picture. Every thread. Every source. Every dollar traced. Then come back and tell me why you're still defending him. Call me what you want. The facts don’t care 🇨🇦 #StandOnGuard #StandOnGuardCanada

My old Kindle still works perfectly. Probably the highest ROI purchase I've ever made. Amazon just killed every Kindle made before 2012. No store access. No downloads. Factory reset and it's a brick. You bought the device. You bought the books. Turns out you were renting both.

Liberals CONFIRM they don’t care about Conservatives RIDINGS This is the BIGGEST SCANDAL IN CANADIAN HISTORY Will the POLICE investigate this?

The Iranian regime SLAUGHTERED their own people by the tens of thousands this past January. Now Canada is voting to legitimize them at the UN?!!! THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!

I'm just gonna leave this here...

There's no difference. They have the same goals.

You notice that the UCP is not calling for Nenshi to resign. That is because you don't do that when your opponent is losing. People constantly calling for Poilievre to resign are telling on themselves.

ELECTIONS BC - Tabulator Malfunctions were numerous in the Provincial 2024 Election with razor thin margins. Most requests for recounts were denied of course. In JDFM Sooke the main voting place had two malfunctions at the same location! The two boxes, with only 99 votes were set aside and WERE NEVER COUNTED!! Until the official recount when they were added in. Elections BC is a joke. Covering up what elections workers called a 'SHIT SHOW'. Their words, not mine.

A whole convoy of empty oil tankers on the way to the US to fill up. It could have been Canada but we have land acknowledgments to do and carbon tax instead.

@GG37374104 Congratulations and welcome back to X, I haven’t seen your posts forever

To those who’ve followed my slumlord/tenants issue next door, I am pleased to report that I finally drove them out. House sits empty 4 now & it’s heavenly.

Gladu admits Carney refused to send money to a Conservative held riding until she crossed the floor.

Check out this interview where Marilyn Gladu tries to explain why she betrayed the over 40,000 Conservative voters in her riding. She reveals something pretty damning: this Liberal government will only help Liberal ridings. Marilyn, your voters should not be seen as less because they are Conservative. Why do they deserve less, and why are you okay with joining a leader who sees them that way? Carney promised to “work for all Canadians,” and clearly he has broken that promise. Only Conservatives will fight for all Canadians!
