@Reil76 When do treaty rights squash democratic rights? International law is Fugazi. You make it sound like there's some international court that will hold Alberta responsible lol

Separatists: Who Owns Alberta’s Oil After You Leave? Everyone talking about Alberta separation loves to talk about keeping the oil royalties. Stopping equalization. Building a new country on $88 billion in annual energy GDP. But nobody wants to answer the hard question: what happens to Indigenous land rights the day after independence? Here’s the reality. Treaties 6, 7, and 8 cover virtually all of Alberta. Those treaties weren’t signed with Canada – they were signed with the Crown. They predate Confederation. An independent Alberta doesn’t get to walk away from them. International law is pretty clear that successor states inherit treaty obligations. You can’t secede your way out of a legal commitment made in 1876. Then there’s Aboriginal title. The Supreme Court confirmed in Tsilhqot’in (2014) that Aboriginal title includes the right to decide how land is used and to benefit economically from it. Huge portions of Alberta’s resource-producing territory sit on land where title is unresolved. Right now, that gets worked out through Canadian courts and the federal duty to consult. Post-independence? You’re on your own. No Supreme Court of Canada. No federal backstop. Just an infant government facing decades of unresolved land claims with no institutional framework to resolve them. And here’s the part that should give every separation cheerleader pause: multiple Treaty 8 First Nations have publicly said they would seek to remain part of Canada if Alberta left. The oil sands sit in Treaty 8 territory. If those communities assert a different political relationship with Canada than with a new Alberta republic, you don’t just have a legal problem – you have a jurisdictional nightmare sitting on top of your most valuable resource. The Enbridge pipeline deal, where 23 First Nations and Métis communities own a $1.12 billion stake? That’s a private contract. It survives separation. The communities that own a piece of Suncor’s Northern Courier pipeline? Still own it. You can change the flag. You can’t change the title deed. Separation advocates imagine a clean break where Alberta keeps the wealth and ditches the obligations. But the wealth and the obligations are sitting on the same land. You can’t separate one from the other. Before anyone starts designing a new passport, they should explain exactly how an independent Alberta resolves unresolved Aboriginal title claims, honours treaty obligations without a federal partner, and prevents First Nations in the Athabasca from simply declaring their territory outside Alberta’s jurisdiction entirely. This isn’t a hypothetical. It’s the first legal challenge filed the morning after a yes vote.

@jkenney @jossreimer You're really good at reducing what antivax dogma even is. And through reduction you're able to garner a group of people that agree with you, without addressing nuance. You're no smarter or more correct than the same people you're trying to discredit. Just as ignorant.

The’s a parallel between the Chief Public Health Officer’s unwillingness to call fentanyl dangerous, and the antivax dogma of the conspiratorial right. Both subordinate medical science to political dogma. In the case of @jossreimer, she can’t call fentanyl consumption dangerous because doing so would violate discredited harm reduction dogma which dictates that recreational narcotic use must be “destigmatized.” In the case of @TheoFleury14 et al, vaccines are dangerous & ineffective because antivax dogma dictates that vaccines are the product of a malicious conspiracy between scientific, political, & commercial elites. In both cases, scientific evidence and public health are subordinated to ideology. It’s horseshoe theory applied to public health. Both tendencies are bad, but IMO the failure of @jossreimer & other “harm reduction” fanatics in the public health field to tell the truth about recreational narcotic use is more dangerous. Doing so undermines public confidence in the reliability of public health “experts,” including on the safety & efficacy of vaccines.

@funtomvids @MissTMitchy @cnm5000 Shoot protesters? Huh. We run over them with horses and establish Marshal law on bouncy castle and BBQ protesters. Stop projecting

I'm VERY fun, madam. A real hoot! 😌 Debating people who believe in fantasy delusions is just not my idea of fun. I'd rather do other things. Just like I'm sure you have fun things on the go over there in 'Merica tonight. Like maybe smash up another U.S. Capitol building or shoot some protesters?

🟥 The Alberta separatist movement is a deceitful fantasy and a scam. It’s nothing but a foreign-sponsored POLITICAL VEHICLE to sow chaos and division - and influence voters. It’s a devious political power play. The majority of Albertans have no interest in it and those that have been manipulated into believing separating is a possibility, are being played. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The Province lies on treaty lands. Even with petition after petition with X number of signatures, the fantasy would be tied up in courts for CENTURIES. Alberta doesn’t belong to maple-MAGA or oil barons; it belongs to Canada and its First Peoples. 🇨🇦 Why not simply pack your bags and head down to Texas or Florida if you despise Canada that much?? 😌 What’s stopping you?? This country is not a prison. Go and chase your dreams! ✈️ Because, sorry to be the bearer of bad news – beautiful Alberta will always be part of Canada. It’s not for sale.

@CTVNews The jokes write themselves

Hantavirus cases nearly doubled in Argentina in the past year. Experts say climate change is to blame ctvnews.ca/health/article…

@Bratt_world I understand it's not a direct cause of a 40% increase. But to pretend it isn't raising consumer price at the pump is just choosing to ignore it.

@pclipseOHMIE DYOR. This math is not raising gas By 40% x.com/grok/status/20…

Sigh. Conservatives are stupid Truly. This price does not include the industrial carbon tax 😆🤣

@Bratt_world Does not apply "directly". You know there's a word called "indirectly". I'm sorry who's stupid, truly?

And no, the industrial carbon tax doesn’t apply at the pumps. Wow 🤦🏻‍♀️

@RodAVanier Rod needs MAID he's mentally incapable of thinking

Fool! There is no Carbon Tax on gasoline in Canada. And you should quit protecting Trump!!

@JustinMoris That's not how sovereign wealth funds work

You want a Scandinavian style sovereign wealth fund? Okay, then start acting like what’s in the ground in this country belongs to all of us.

How about instead of privatizing airports we nationalize the oil industry

@mario4thenorth Ya I think you're missing the mark on this one. Reason it's so cheap to fly in the US and Europe is because of private airports and not having to pay 30-40% of your ticket to federal fees

INSANE Canada is for sale. And Brookfield is buying. This will “cut costs” just like selling the 407 did. WE WILL REGRET THIS.

@steve_toro63587 @sluggo19fifty8 @AntiTrumpCanada Did you forget to take your meds today? Think your doc needs to up the dosage.

@sluggo19fifty8 @AntiTrumpCanada You’re still around? Can’t figure out that MAID stuff? Try harder.

Oh, we’re taking pandemic advice from Joe Rogan & Post Malone now? Canada made hard calls and fewer people died - that’s competence, not tyranny. The account freezes were targeted & temporary, not some dystopian fantasy. Read past the headlines, cocksuckers.

@Garnet_2203 Americans are 140% more likely to die on a day to day basis just to their health. Half the country has 3 or more comorbidities. Ever consider that? The government overreach was inexcusable and isn't what saved you.

Fuck you Joe Rogan. You want to talk about all that shit Canada did during covid? Fact: 1.23 million Americans died from Covid during the pandemic. Fact: 60,000 Canadians died from Covid during the pandemic. Americans were about 140% more likely to die from COVID than Canadians during the pandemic.🖕

@yanickmproulx 40,000 federal job cuts? Do share the source because I see 18,000 over 3 years.

You hate Mark Carney because he’s a Liberal. Fine. But I keep hearing “he’s done nothing” from people who can’t name a single policy. So here are the receipts from his first 12 months: 1 - Killed the consumer carbon tax. Gone on day one. 2 - Scrapped the EV mandate. Replaced it with a $5,000 rebate and choice. 3 - Reversed the capital gains tax hike. 4 - Passed the One Canadian Economy Act (C-5) to tear down interprovincial trade barriers. 5 - Cut 40,000 federal jobs with a plan to actually shrink government. 6 - Slashed immigration targets to match housing and infrastructure capacity. 7 - Hit NATO’s 2% target with $82B in new defence spending. 8 - Launched Build Canada Homes + a Major Projects Office fast-tracking 20+ projects. 9 - 26 international trips, China canola tariffs reduced, $97B in foreign investment secured. Read it again: carbon tax gone. EV mandate gone. capital gains reversed. immigration down. defence up. trade barriers down. government trimmed. You don’t have to like him. You don’t have to vote for him. But saying “he’s done nothing” after that list isn’t analysis, it’s selective memory. #canpoli #cdnpoli #LIB2026 #markcarney

@mileslunn @globeandmail Have the liberals who just crossed the floor disclose their finances too

Elections Alberta seeks injunction to force prominent separatist group to disclose finances, donors /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta… Good. I would like to see how much foreign money getting. Maybe nothing or little, but my hunch is mostly foreign funded

@Smil3yAngel You don't have a buccees though

As a Canadian: I can eat Ketchup chips and Coffee Crisp chocolate bars. When I am sick or hurt, I can go to my dr or hospital for free. I don't have to worry about my kids getting shot at school. I can send money to anyone I want using E-transfer I love my Country 🇨🇦❤️

@guyfelicella Oil is also down like 30 bucks/barrel since then...not sure you're aware there's an actual market out there and Carney waving his wand doesnt do much

2.17 on Sunday. $1.87 today. That’s a 30¢ drop overnight in Vancouver. I was also told it's going lower tomorrow. Thank you Mark Carney!

@jkenney @Almeycourt You're a moron and a gas lighter.

@Almeycourt The good news is that they’re all still living in your head.

Wonderful to see evidence that mRNA vaccines may be the basis of curing one of the deadliest forms of cancer! In these times we have no shortage of things to be anxious and angry about. But huge advances in medical science, like mRNA technology, are things to celebrate!

@CTVNews Especially when the misinformation comes from the Canadian health care authorities.

Fighting misinformation a major challenge in Canadian health care, survey finds ctvnews.ca/health/article…

@alleria_eh CL futures, oil is down 30 bucks a barrel since it was at $120 and I'm paying the same price for gas at the pump. National food program, who pays, food rebates, who pays? So while he continues to make things more expensive by inflating our currency you're happy? Liberalism...lol

Dental plan, disability benefit increase, $10 a day childcare, pharmacare, more tax benefits, more taxes back, easier and free tax filings, 10 cents less on gas today, no industrial carbon tax, national food program, food rebates, etc. Those are just a few things Canadians got under a liberal government.

@Charles_string_ Why does a wet noodle like you have Eazy E as a PFP?

Reminder Pierre is the guy who thought we should build the Canadian economy & our personal finances around crypto currency.

@travelingflying Mass Exodus for whites, hopefully. Leave my brothers. Let the country diminish to the wretched wasteland it was before you got there.

Black woman from South Africa: “Black people have been patient enough for more than 400 years of colonialism. We are coming for you, and we are going to get everything that you own.” White people are facing racism, hatred, and brutal violence in South Africa. This is not acceptable. More people should know about the horrible things happening in South Africa; almost nobody talks about it.
