@CdEntremontMP What you did is political treason, a kick in the face to everyone who voted for you. You didn’t cross the floor for conviction or principle; you did it for yourself. You betrayed your voters, your party, and the trust that put you in office. Disgraceful.

@ryangerritsen I had to pop up to Canada to renew a work permit last month. YYC US Customs was as busy as it ever was. Oh, and I had 90 minutes in line and didn't see a single person asked to show the officer their cell phone.

Do you belive Carney?
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith

Just finished a positive first meeting with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney. We spoke at length about the policies and legislation that are holding back Alberta’s economy, and specific proposals for projects and legislative reforms that will significantly increase market access for Alberta oil and gas, agricultural products and other goods. The Prime Minister made it clear he intended to rapidly advance these kinds of nation building projects in the coming weeks and months.  We also discussed our ongoing trade dispute with the United States and how the federal government can work cooperatively with our province to advance both Canada’s and Alberta’s interests.   Repairing the damage to Alberta’s economy caused by Ottawa’s last 10-years of anti-resource legislation and policies will take tremendous effort and cooperation, however, today’s conversation was a positive first step.

Can you tell me at least 5 reasons why Alberta is better off being a part of Canada vs Alberta joining the US. I can tell you some reasons why we would be better off being a part of the US: - stronger currency - stronger military - better representation politically with their electoral college system (no Tyranny of Ontario and Quebec always deciding elections, California and New York don't drown out the voices of smaller states) - not having our tax dollars siphoned to other provinces via equalization - access to a bigger job market for remote work (50 other states) - the US govt would help us get our oil and gas to foreign markets for a better world price, we could charge Canada higher for the oil and gas that comes back into Canada - 1st amendment & 2nd amendment rights - access to more investor capital in a better US economy - ability to keep our low tax regime Go ahead, tell me what Canada has to offer Alberta that is better than these

@JinglaiHe The court of appeal needs to go fuck itself, just like the gentleman in question apparently wants to do.

During the course of this campaign, I reached out to the teams of the three big party leaders, offering to have them come on my YouTube channel — the most popular independent Canadian commentary channel on YouTube — for a longform interview at my studio here in Vancouver. All ultimately chose to either ignore me or ghost me after some initial talk. I’m particularly disappointed in Pierre, who I’ve already interviewed once before, and who chose to go on a much smaller, much more partisan channel instead. I don’t want to be too self-important about this, but I don’t think it reflects well on our political leaders when everyone is so damn risk-averse, so terrified of having conversations with people who might disagree with them on some things, or ask questions that might put them slightly outside of their comfort zone, even just for a moment.

I presume you’re talking about me? That’s too bad, I watch your channel all the time and was a big fan until this unnecessary diss. It’s a shame when we allow ego and pride to cloud the judgement and cause us to feel resentment towards others, rather than happy for them. I’ll continue cheering you on from afar, and I worked my ass off to get that interview for 7 months before it was finally confirmed. We should really try to lift each other up more rather than tear people down and passive aggressively insult them because they “aren’t as popular as you”. While I wish you all the best, and continued “more” success than me, I completely condemn this type of attitude and loathing towards another creator.

It's actually a brilliant diversion. Literally blow the Democrats mind so they don't focus on anything useful like coming up with a good candidate, platform, or things like that. In 2028 when @JDVance runs he will be running against a party that did nothing for 4 years except spin their wheels on "Trump bad"

What are some of the the worst reasons to vote Liberals? Right answers only. I'll start. Vote Liberals if you want your grandkids to be born into poverty. Carney will increase Ottawa's debt to $3 trillion.

#WATCH: After accusing Pierre Poilievre of fabricating claims about govt restricting vehicle choices... Jagmeet Singh says he fully supports the 2035 EV-Mandate which would dictate what vehicles Canadians can buy. Jagmeet SIngh is either completely incompetent or a total moron.
