Dear Alberta teens: your government thinks you are stupid, immature, and undeserving of a rich education.
“In response to follow-up questions, school divisions said none of the material removed was found in schools that exclusively house elementary-age students.”
A king on a sumptuous, much elaborated throne; in one hand he holds a sceptre of office, in the other, the leashes for two fierce stone dogs that guard the throne. The king's head has been replaced with a character who was used as the basis for MAD Magazine's Alfred E Neumann. The new head sports a conical dunce cap. Behind the king is a large group of 1960s business men, seated and standing, in conservative suits. The background is the view from the 80th floor of World Trade Center 3. The floor has been carpeted in sumptuous tabriz from the Ottoman court.

A screenshot of a tweet from Danielle smith, posing awkwardly in a team Canada jersey cheering on the Canadian women’s team. A reply from the Alberta NDP reads “@grok I think this account’s been hacked.”
LMAO @albertandp.ca (the comment)!
(Smith probably has a team USA jersey on underneath that.)
Alberta was a leader in renewable energy until the UCP banned it. They want Alberta to fail because that keeps people angry and they excel at farming anger.
I don’t need to know anything about your faith or your religion to vote for you…
While the UCP distracts us with the spectre of separation, they're dismantling entire systems that we value.
What to talk about...there's just so much! How about NO to the separation BS!
And Go Team Canada! You do us proud!!!!

What do you have to lose if Alberta separates? I say everything. What would happen to our national parks? This gem is a treasure we all love and can appreciate.

Everyone in Canada today looking up the definition and legal basis of ‘treason.’
America has reached a tipping point on fascism – and on opposition to it.

i have never felt less inclined to donate to political campaigns in my entire adult life
America has the Melania movie and Canada has Heated Rivalry and you can’t ever tell me that we’re not VERY different countries.
In case you wondered who’s on whose side.
“Eby accuses Alberta separatists of ‘treason’ for meeting with U.S. officials”
“Alberta Premier Danielle Smith did not stop to speak with reporters Thursday on her way into the meeting.”

"So it is a surprise — a real shock — to the world to discover that Canada isn’t fucking weak at all. We never have been. It was a lie, sold to other allies, other countries, and even ourselves. Canada stopped believing the lie."

I am LOVING the pressure Canadian Premiers are putting on Smith. Eby and Kinew as well.
Doug, you’re often a bozo, but you do know how to wave the Canadian flag.
Go ahead, guys.
Shame her.
These 51st state types represent a fringe opinion within a fringe movement. Albertans are rightfully bewildered by their claim to speak for us.
All elected officials in Alberta - federal and provincial - should clearly condemn their actions.
Eby today - Crossing borders to seek the assistance of foreign governments with the goal of breaking up Canada is treason and needs to be called out as such!
Smith - How do microphones work again?
No.
Really.
