If anyone’s going to make me laugh about what separatism is doing to our province, it’s these guys!
Thanks for a great evening!

Giving “library inspectors” the right to look at your library card, your history, and what you’ve signed out is fascist behaviour.
That's what the UCP's Bill 28 is all about.

@Martyupnorth That is why I buy my beef locally, a quarter at a time, for $7.70/lb. Cut and vacuum sealed.

I get tired of eating moose, so I asked Karen to buy some beef for Easter dinner.
This is nothing fancy.

Do you believe what the federal government says?
Albertans declared more than 7,000 banned weapons under Ottawa's gun buyback program, according to figures released by the federal government Wednesday.

I just returned from Canada, where I spoke in Calgary and in Vancouver. I found the support for Alberta separation rising rapidly. There is no doubt that Alberta will separate. The only question is how and when.

We should stop wasting our time arguing with trolls.
Not everyone who disagrees with us is a troll. Reasonable disagreement is normal. Honest questions are welcome. Good-faith criticism can actually make us sharper, better, and more disciplined.
But trolls are different.
A troll is not trying to understand your position. A troll is not trying to persuade honestly. A troll is not trying to have a real conversation. They are trying to provoke you, distract you, insult you, divide you, drain your energy, and plant little seeds of doubt, frustration, and negativity in your mind.
Do not let them.
If someone is swearing at you, insulting you, mocking you, trying to bait you into anger, or constantly demeaning you, that should usually be the end of the interaction. Block and move on. The moment a person shows they are not serious, there is nothing meaningful left to gain from the exchange.
And that is the key point: there is almost nothing to gain, but there is something to lose.
Every pointless argument costs you a little bit of time.
A little bit of focus.
A little bit of peace.
A little bit of sanity.
Even after you put the phone down, that negative interaction can stay with you. It affects your mood. It follows you through your day. It takes up mental space that should be used for your family, your work, your purpose, your community, and the cause you actually care about.
Negativity spreads. That is part of the game.
Trolls want attention. They want emotional reaction. They want to drag people into the muck. They want discouragement to spread from one person to the next. And social media already has more than enough anger, bitterness, and nonsense without us volunteering to absorb even more of it.
We do not need to fill our minds with that.
We also need to remember something important about persuasion: not every person is persuadable.
Some people have already made up their minds completely. They are going to vote the way they are going to vote. They are going to believe what they are going to believe. No brilliant reply, no perfect fact, no clever comeback is going to change them. Spending an hour fighting with that person is not strategy. It is waste.
Our job is not to obsess over the loudest hostile voices.
Our job is to reach the people in the middle.
Our job is to speak to the people who are still watching, still thinking, still weighing things, still open.
That means discipline matters.
We must take the high ground.
We must be reasonable.
We must be honest.
We must be calm.
We must be upright.
That does not mean being weak.
It means being effective.
A movement loses when it becomes reactive, bitter, and distracted. A movement wins when it stays focused, confident, and principled. When we get dragged into ugly, useless fights with trolls, we do not strengthen the cause. We lower ourselves into the same mud they are living in.
So here is a simple rule:
If someone is respectful, engage.
If someone is curious, answer.
If someone disagrees in good faith, have the conversation.
But if someone is abusive, insulting, manipulative, or clearly trying to bait you, block them and move on.
Protect your time.
Protect your attention.
Protect your peace.
Protect the morale of the people around you.
Not every comment deserves a response.
Not every insult deserves your energy.
Not every attack deserves access to your mind.
Sometimes the strongest move is the simplest one:
Just block the trolls.
