Governments don't generally impose time limits on motions they are confident in defending. So for the UCP to have just 1 hour of debate on their new electoral map, it's an indication this whole thing is exactly what we think it is — cheating. #ableg

The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds lined the taxiway Sunday evening as the Canadian Forces Snowbirds taxied in to conclude the final public demonstration in the legendary CT-114 Tutor. You’re not crying, we’re all crying.

Postmedia, Canada’s largest newspaper chain, has spent the last decade amplifying conservative politics — creating fertile ground for #MAGA-style ideas, #Alberta separatism, and an increasingly polarized political landscape.

The Brexit/Alberta separatism analogy isn't about comparing a state leaving an economic union to a province leaving a nation. Alberta separatism, if successful, would have a vastly more significant impact on its people than Brexit.
The analogy is pointing out how political movements that initially demonstrate limited support can take on a life of their own, ultimately leading to outcomes that those who voted in favour didn't actually intend. Especially when fed by arguments that are divisive, opportunistic, emotional, nationalistic, and misleading.
That's the prospect being raised here; that a lot of Albertans who vote for "sticking it to Ottawa" or "generating leverage" are going to wind up with a basket of negative political and economic consequences that they didn't initially think possible.

We’ve got a signal! 📡Orion is talking to the Deep Space Network, which is what NASA uses to communicate with its spacecraft that are out in deep space. For the first time in over 50 years, a spacecraft carrying humans to the Moon is sending signals to Earth.

Conservatives always want to be seen as competent fiscal managers. Truth is if NDPers were drowning Albertans with this level of debt Conservatives would hunt ‘em like ducks.

FACT:
Total 4-Year Overall Royalties
NDP 4-Year Total: $16.3 Billion
UCP 4-Year Total: $82.2 Billion
Over a 4-year window, the Smith’s UCP had roughly $65.9 billion MORE in resource cash than the NDP did.
What does Smith have a $9.3B DEFICIT?

Behold the economic destruction and the complete stifling of major project construction in Alberta by the rest of the country.

It's simply not a European-style health care system. It's a U.S.-style system pure and system you are "moving toward." When rebranding is flat-out untrue, it's just a flat-out lie. As for prioritizing prevention, please give us a break. You are actively suppressing vaccine use.

“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.”

David, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you used to say that food prices would drop if only we got rid of the consumer carbon tax? What "crippling woke regs" are you speaking of? OH&S laws?

Oh look, the UCP government is again denying information to the auditor general. It makes it really hard for that office to do its job of protecting taxpayers if the government refuses to abide by common principles of accountability, transparency and the rule of law. #ableg

She heard from close to half a million Albertans, but she's listening to the separatists instead. Pay attention Albertans, because this is happening right before our eyes. #recallthemall

Irony just died on live TV.
Kash Patel actually said: “When you attack our nation’s Capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life. We will always refute it and combat it.”
This from the same crew that pardoned 1,500 attackers and turned January 6 into a loyalty test.
These are not serious people.

As leaders once understood, and was explained clearly by Harry Truman, you fight small wars to avoid fighting big ones. If you think supporting Ukraine winning is expensive, it’s nothing compared to the cost of Ukraine losing.
