I Don’t Recognize Alberta Anymore - Macleans.ca
My province has always fought with Ottawa. What’s new is a premier who gives legitimacy to separation.
Grew up in rural Alberta. Have spent all 43 years of my life in this province. Been very politically tuned in my entire adult life. Always thought of myself as small-c conservative. And now I’m feeling every bit of this Craig Baird editorial. #ABleg

“Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Canada recently losing its measles elimination status is concerning, but her government might not have many options on the table to help get it back.” Pretty amazing how evergreen this is for our Premier and her Gov’t .

Honestly, the funniest thing about this is that over the past 50 years, there have been more Republican presidents who were male cheerleaders than those who have been in combat.

James Van der Beek has colorectal cancer? Didn't know that.
Get beans and oatmeal and leafy greens into your diet, folks. A friend of mine died at 41 from colon cancer.
It's not for the elderly. More and more people under 50 are getting it, and lifestyle can change that.

“They want to create some confusion around who gets to vote, and to limit the electorate in a way that advantages the government.”
Voters should choose governments, not the other way around.
This is a bad law, plain and simple.

This is happening in real time, tonight. Danielle Smith is actively dismantling #Alberta. Why has she been able to get this far? She needs to be stopped. 😐

Bruce Arthur: Danielle Smith is playing with fire when she flirts with Alberta separation
The Alberta premier is indulging in the reckless, dangerous stuff of modern right-wing populism, Bruce Arthur writes.
Smith failed to mention that oil production is at record highs in Alberta, but did imply federal policies are killing Albertans and their families. God, it was disingenuous. All separatists are, by definition, traitors to their country.

“Last time I checked, the Premier appointed Mr. Yager to the AER board, which means he and the AER must be at arm’s-length from the government. How is Mr. Yager receiving $156,000 salary from the government while being an AER board member?” asked Al-Guneid.”
Why indeed. Yeesh.

🚨🚨🚨This is a super-dangerous proposal. Attempting to circumvent the Charter under any circumstances is a major red flag. Like what the US is experiencing, once you start bending/breaking rules for certain people groups, it's very easy to do it for *everyone*. This proposal should be a career-ender.

Whoa, Poilievre's announcement today:
He would invoke the notwithstanding clause to overturn a Supreme Court ruling and make sure multiple murderers die in prison.
This would make him the first prime minister to override the Charter using the notwithstanding clause.
Aiieee

Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think provincial leaders should be working with hostile foreign govts to interfere in a federal election to get their preferred party elected whose “perspective would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America”
This is traitorous stuff.

It boggles the mind how Premier Smith can take a harder line stance against the prime minister of her own country than the president of an enemy nation.
If she's unsure who is the bigger threat, her advisors have failed all Albertans miserably.

Because conservatives fund podcasts and influencers and liberals do not.
