If a separatist group wants to fight this in court, they can pay for their own appeal. It is not the responsibility of Alberta taxpayers to subsidize a political project the government claims it does not even support.

My latest, on the absurdity of Canada, one of history’s most successful nations, surrendering to the likes of David Parker, Mitch Sylvestre, and Jeffrey Rath theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

@RahRahLara @althiaraj There seems to be a specific carve out for the south orca population, presumably to ensure protections for it can't stop a pipeline.

Ok, no. This is not cool.
Glad to see @althiaraj use appropriately direct framing here.

Imagine that. Turns out you can’t lawfully hold a referendum on whether to take something that isn’t yours: like land covered by treaties, or the sovereign territory of Canada.

The fact that Signal has threatened to pull out of Canada over this bill (which happened after the column was written) is a real alarm. This bill is illiberal.

here’s my latest on bill c-22 (lawful access act): “The Carney government is about to take a massive step towards violating the privacy rights of every single Canadian.” nationalobserver.com/2026/05/14/opi…

From @althiaraj: The federal government’s proposal to legally allow projects to go ahead even if they result in an entire species going extinct is directed at projects that would affect endangered orcas in BC. thestar.com/politics/feder…

BREAKING!
Today the UCP not only voted to circumvent the Chief Justice of Alberta, but they also voted to hide the letter the Chief Justice wrote raising concerns about the boundary process!
We have the text of the letter in our new Substack!

This is great news for Canada and bad news for people doing bad things. I worked with Jane at BuzzFeed News (RIP) and she's excellent!

Wowza! The fault lines in the BC Conservative Party have been hiding in plain view since the election. @iainblackbc just shone a light and magnified them. Good for him (although unsure how his comments will play with party members). Potentially risky, but a strong stand by him. #bcpoli

Dividing people based on race is how David Eby won last time. I believe we are all equal. When we defend our principles - equality for all - we can stand proud and demonstrate to British Columbians that we are ready to govern. I'm ready to defeat David Eby and the NDP. Let’s get B.C. back on track.

It’s actually pretty crazy nearly 3million Albertans (allegedly) had their electoral data posted on the web for all to see…
And not one gov’t minister, police force, investigative body, or public service agency has called a press conference to speak to Albertans. #ableg

Dozens of Alberta academics (including myself) have written/signed an open letter calling for a public inquiry into the breach of the voter list. The letter can be viewed here nationalobserver.com/2026/05/07/opi…

I went home recently to write about Alberta’s separatists. What I found was a movement dangerously, wildly disconnected from what is real.
