Andrea Horwath not bothering to attend her own campaign election night event, while leaving her supporters alone before dismissing them, tells you everything you need to know about her entitlement as a politician. Just an awful look. SO glad to have @voteloomis as mayor. #HamOnt
Rest In Peace Walter Koenig. Trek and B5 fans alike will mourn and remember you.

He's not wrong.
โIt cost us probably at the end of the day about $200 million in tax payer money to do this. That wouldโve hired teachers, doctors, nurses, 7500 EAs on five year contracts for example. The feeling I got from Albertans crossing every corner of the province, from the Peace Country down to the US border, is people were saying why are we going through this?โ

We remember Cpl Nathan Cirillo and WO Patrice Vincent who lost their lives twelve years ago to a terrorist attack aimed at the very fabric of our nation.

Spare a thought today for Nathan Cirillo and his family.
Spicy Coyne is the best Coyne: "It is now part of the public record that, after months of debate, fewer Albertans support secession than believe the moon landings were faked, Bigfoot exists, or 9/11 was a U.S. government conspiracy." ๐ #abpoli
My latest: Albertaโs separatists lost badly. Danielle Smith might have lost even worse theglobeandmail.com/gift/a52โฆ
Hats off to @mattgurney and @jengerson for their always smart @the_lineca podcast and, especially, Jen's recent interview w/ Patrick Lennox about treason and the disturbing questions of #AlbertaSeparation.
Naheed Nenshi is the next premier of AB.

Well said. โThe fact that we held this referendum at all wasnโt a heartwarming exercise of democratic will โ it was a failure of leadership by the provincial government, and of Danielle Smithโ #abpoli
"The results ought to demonstrate Albertans for what they truly are โ a mostly sensible and pragmatic people, if occasionally very slightly insane. God bless."

The decision has been made! Albertans have voted and the CBC decision desk has called it: a majority of AB have voted to REMAIN in Canada. #ABpoli

My polling in Alberta and my visit to the province last month reaffirmed this conclusion.
Albertans have been asked a question it did not want by a government it does not trust to answer it, about a country it is not prepared to give up, in the shadow of a neighbour it does not trust at all.
Rest In Peace Pte. Aidan Goulding, Pte. Shaun Farrell, Pte. Hayden Lykkemark and Sgt. Morgan Wong. Thank-you for your service. #CFBWainwright ๐จ๐ฆ

Alberta is forever Canadian, 100%
If the separatists have accomplished anything, itโs reigniting Canadian pride in Alberta ๐จ๐ฆ

Hamilton needs a mayor who can get City Hall working for you, and move our city forward.
The choice is clear. Vote Keanin Loomis for Mayor on October 26 or at the advance polls.
