@TheMomoftheHour @WabKinew I said this tonight too!

Manitoba is looking better and better. @WabKinew

Never forget that YOU are a data center. Drink some water!!

@albertan_rural @WabKinew This is the absolute best! 👌🏻🇨🇦

I fricking love @WabKinew, signed, a rural Alberta girl.

I’m so tired of the separatists saying “Albertans want…” I’m Albertan. I do not want what you want. Then they come at me with “well you’re not a TRUE Albertan.” Dude, I pay higher insurance, wait forever in ER’s & cheer for the Oilers. I’m all in. Sorry, not sorry.

I’ve said before that if AB were to separate (which it won’t, but hypotheticals seem to be the language they speak🙄), we’d leave. Now I know which province would be home. Wab Kinew has courage, insight, respect and intelligence…the very qualities one wants in a Premier 🇨🇦

An interesting side point about AB separation. If AB separates the Federal Cons would lose 34 seats. Then they would be down to 106 seats Federally. A majority would be 151. The Cons would be doomed to never forming government again.

@LukaszukAB @squirrels_suck I question whether the UCP even has the moral authority to govern at this point. Pushing for a separation vote, sham committee votes, gerrymandering electoral districts, fraudulent accountants heading up government agencies, releasing the private electoral information, etc

.@ABDanielleSmith @UCPCaucus Teachers are wrong about education. Doctors are wrong about healthcare. Judges are wrong about the law. .....but, Danielle Smith knows best? #abpoli #ableg

Lets actually sit down and do the math on Alberta separation, because it seems like nobody else wants to. Right now, Alberta’s budget is roughly balanced. About $70-75 billion in, same amount out. It’s not perfect, but it works. The second you leave Canada, you don’t just stop sending money to Ottawa. You inherit the whole damn machine they were running on your behalf: borders, military, pensions, Employment Insurance, courts, federal policing, Indigenous obligations, foreign affairs, currency, central banking, all that shit. That’s not some rounding error. That’s an extra $30 to $60 billion a year in new costs slamming onto a province that was already spending every dollar it made. So now you’re looking at $105-135 billion in annual spending against $75 billion in revenue on a good year. That’s a $30-60 billion hole every single year, and nobody in the separation movement wants to talk about it. And it gets worse. You’re also picking up $120-150 billion in inherited federal debt. That’s another $4-6 billion a year just in interest payments before you’ve even hired your first border agent or opened a single embassy. Where the hell is that money supposed to come from? How do you close a gap that big? You’d need brutal spending cuts, a new sales tax, higher income taxes, higher corporate taxes, and you’d better pray oil stays above $80 a barrel. Even then you’re white-knuckling it. The real kicker is the oil revenue swings like crazy. Your new government costs sure as hell don’t. You can’t call up the military or the pension guys and say “Hey, prices are down this month, take some time off.” The bills keep coming whether WTI cooperates or not. And now there’s no Bank of Canada to bail you out when shit gets sideways. You’re on your own. Good luck with that. This isn’t about politics or which team you’re on. It’s just arithmetic. You want to be pissed at Ottawa? Fine, there’s plenty of reasons to be fucking pissed. But don’t confuse being pissed off with actually having a plan. Right now the separation crowd is long on anger and real short on math that adds up.

Political bombshell. The NDP has obtained video evidence showing that top UCPers attended a Centurion Project meeting in which the illegally-obtained voter database was the star attraction. The Premier and her party have lost all plausible deniability. They were complicit. #AbLeg

The worst lead in hockey is whatever the Edmonton Oilers are leading by.

@AntiMacro I literally yelled this 10 times tonight

Did Darnell really just miss the Ducks player and hit his own d partner behind the net? AND THEN TAKE A PENALTY??? #LetsGoOilers

Danielle Smith campaigned and still claims "smaller government" as one of the UCP pillars. Here are some facts: Cabinet Size by Premier: • Stelmach-19 • Redford-21 •Prentice-21 •Notely-12!!! • Kenny-23 Danielle Smith-38!!! Make your own conclusions from this information.

girl get off your phone the powerplay needs you

Love the Finns. #GoldMedal #Olympics

I’m sorry but what did we do to deserve this and a Game 7 extra inning blue jays loss, like we’re the good guys

Forever proud of this team. ❤️

True! Go Canada!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
