@nicksortor Defensive strikes ON Iran!!!! 😂

🚨 JUST IN: The US military has conducted MORE defensive strikes on southern Iran, targeting sites believed to pose a threat to U.S. forces Multiple Iranian drones have also been shot down Keep praying for our troops 🙏🏻

@CanadianModera1 Separatists do not give a shit about passports

Separatists are telling us we can keep our Canadian passports & citizenship, even if the province secedes. Citizenship is a right granted by Canada. Canada would have absolutely no legal obligation -and little political incentive - to grant dual citizenship. Just sayin...

@ABHank76467601 @canajuneh @mrsunshinebaby Canada would probably be giant dicks about it, but I think the US would be a good partner to an independent Alberta especially at the early stages of independence.

@canajuneh @mrsunshinebaby Please explain how economic suicide will be committed. In your scenario what is happening that causes major economic issues.

UNBELIEVABLE: Mark Carney told a reporter that he would NOT recognize a 50%+1 vote on an Alberta independence referendum. Can you believe this? Albertans can vote FOR separation. They can vote to leave Canada. But that's not enough for Mark Carney.

@CoryBMorgan @kpac_15 Alberta is going to float his entire fake climate credit scheme unfortunately. We’re his personal cash cow he can’t let that end.

His own MP repeatedly told the Bloc that 50% plus one is the bar. Same old thing. One policy for Quebec. A different policy for the West

@junonewscom Any reflections from Eby about his contributions to the separatist sentiment in Alberta?

Premier Eby warns Canada will be "poorer" if divided, saying separatist movements risk "selling the country for parts." Eby said he remains deeply anxious about Alberta separatism, comparing it to Brexit, but hopes premiers can address concerns together as a united country.

@PopCrave 🤮

Pride Month begins in one week.

@RodAVanier Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

As usual PP is lying to you. It is not a tax, it is a reinvestment of revenue into Canadian production.

@DavidMcLA Do you think Albertans don’t know that? Consider, for a moment, that the problems might be as bad as they say they are..

I would think it is important Albertans and all Canadians understand the risks associated with a referendum. They are real with a very long tail for the whole country.

@tylermeredith @MarkJCarney Carney said something and some guy in Ottawa is happy about it. Shocker!!

PM @MarkJCarney said today what needed to be said. Danielle Smith’s referendum is distracting, damaging, deceitful and divisive. It unsettles investor confidence. And it is a potentially destabilizing move that cannot be undone. We have seen what Brexit has done. 🇨🇦 forever

@paulzed @KatlynHarrison @MichelleRempel You poor retarded Canadian

@KatlynHarrison @MichelleRempel Michelle is playing with fire and so are you Kate …Bay St, Wall St and Main St can all smell the dark money coming from the US and the support from the raging bot farms- why does PP refuse to get security briefings ?

Agreed with @MichelleRempel. Even as a central Canadian, the Brexit comparisons feel more like a condescension against aggrieved Albertans to me, rather than acknowledging the role Ottawa played in inviting division, or proposing solutions that address fair concerns. #cdnpoli

@Victori49569624 @KatlynHarrison @MichelleRempel That’s what Ottawa has been doing for 11 years now…telling Albertans to sit out. We’ll see..

@KatlynHarrison @MichelleRempel PM Carney was referencing how the decision for Brexit was later regretted, as he did experience it. Shouldn't Michelle just sit this one out!

@KM0331 @cspotweet The Liberals spent $35billion for their own benefit and to cover their own incompetence

@cspotweet I'm frustrated the feds spent $35+ Billion building these fucking whiners a pipeline!

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner calls on PM Mark Carney to show more humility, saying he delivered the wrong tone in comments on AB separation this morning. Says he needs to start delivering hope and not fear.

@arno_kopecky The federal government wasting $34 billion on the TMX expansion for starters.

Huge appreciation for this effort. And also, a genuine question: What exactly is so awful about the status quo? Alberta's producing more oil than ever before. Production still rising (along with pipeline capacity). AB keeps every penny of royalties. Pays the same federal corporate tax as every other province. Got an oil pipeline to tidewater outta the last climate deal (then reneged on every promise it made in exchange, with no consequence). Lots of gas also being sent to tidewater via Coastal GasLink. What's the core grievance(s)?

@sisuvanhell Has the federal government done anything in the last 11 years that may have contributed to feelings of alienation?

The sad fact is you could give Alberta 100 pipelines and a kiss on the forehead every day telling them they're special and they'd still blame all their provincial problems on Ottawa. There are few rational policy debates to be had with true believers.

@AlexandreLand15 @Dr_Sinister187 If the other provinces don’t negotiate in good faith, then that’s fine. That would make it easier for Alberta to separate, not more difficult.

@matt_b82 @Dr_Sinister187 Do you really believe you would get all the province in the negotiations. The separators would be lucky to get 50%. In any case, the land belongs to the First Nations. #canadianbakin

Here are 5 factual reasons why Alberta would likely fail or struggle badly as its own country: 1. Landlocked with no easy ocean access - Alberta has no seaport. All exports (oil, gas, grain, etc.) must cross another country’s land (Canada or the US). Right now, Canada guarantees pipelines and trade routes. As a separate country, you'd have to beg or pay for permission every time. Higher costs, delays, and risk of being blocked or charged extra. 2. Economy shrinks from lost trade deals and uncertainty - Economists (like University of Calgary’s Trevor Tombe) estimate separation would shrink Alberta’s economy by about $20 billion a year — roughly $3,900 less per person. You'd lose Canada’s big trade agreements, face new borders/tariffs, and scare away investors who hate uncertainty. Oil companies already hate risk. 3. You’d take on a huge chunk of Canada’s debt - Alberta would likely inherit $75–100 billion of federal debt. Plus, you’d have to build your own military, embassies, border control, and full government from scratch. That costs billions extra every year that Alberta doesn’t pay now. 4. Oil and resources become harder to sell - Alberta’s wealth is mostly oil. As a tiny country (pop. ~4.5–5 million), you lose Canada’s power in trade talks. Pipelines to the coast or US could get blocked or renegotiated at higher cost. No more automatic Canadian market access. Your main customer (US) would have more leverage over a small, desperate seller. 5. Higher costs for services + smaller tax base - You’d pay full price for things Canada now helps cover (defence, pensions, borders, etc.). Many experts say per-person costs would rise. If businesses and skilled workers leave because of risk and higher taxes, your tax base shrinks fast, making everything more expensive for those who stay. The separatists have no plan. They are trying to gaslight Albertan's that you will be prosperous and rich which is an outright lie.

@KirkLubimov Unlike Quebec, the Alberta separation issue isn’t about threats to get a better deal in confederation. Albertans simply want to leave

Mark Carney puts Alberta on notice: "In these separation issues, it is often advanced that vote for this and it's a free option, vote for this and we will strengthen your our hand in a future negotiation. That is a very dangerous bluff. That is a very dangerous bluff." 🤔

@acoyne Hahahahaha you’re an idiot, Coyne

"Its" wealth? Among the most absurd assumptions in this whole surreal debate is the idea that Alberta, in the vanishingly unlikely event that it was ever permitted to detach itself from Canada, would depart with its entire current territory — including the parts with the oil. There is zero possibility of this, and even less legitimacy to it. The provinces control natural resources under the constitution of Canada — but under the constitution of Canada, and as provinces of Canada. The minute they cease to be under the constitution, they cease to enjoy any of its guarantees.
