Well, well, well. Strange bedfellows, in the service of Canada.
Meanwhile, Alberta’s Premier is too often seen slipping in and out of bed with Donald T.#canpoli #canpoli #abpoli #politics

🇨🇦 Bottom line:
“"Danielle Smith has approved a separatism referendum to save her political skin from her own separatist base,” NDP leader Naheed Nenshi said in a separate email statement. “This has weakened Canada in front of Donald Trump and the entire world.””
Is there a world where Premier Smith isn’t understood as a traitor in this war with the Trumpists masquerading as a trade war?
I feel for Albertans. They are not being served well by this leadership.#canpoli #cdnpoli #abpoli #politics https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-smith-tariff-response-9.7319147?cmp=rss

@dyckron Good for them. People can disagree on lots of things and still be patriots — or, as in this case, understand that some ideas are dumb as a bag of hammers.

"Smith previously went on a charm offensive in the U.S., including a visit to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, and speaking at events featuring right-wing influencers, in what she said were efforts to stave off tariffs."
yeah, her charm's offensive, all right. when even Doug Ford isn't on your side, stop and fucking think.

Hopefully that ‘pressure’ manifests as a strong turnout & resounding rejection of her separatist referendum in October.

Traitor Danielle Smith, Premier of #Alberta, is auditioning for the role of Governor of the 51st state:
“Alberta will continue to advocate for a strong tariff free relationship between Canada and the U.S.,” she said. “I will be urging the federal government to restart negotiations as soon as possible.”

If a country had to pick a moment to strike back with targeted countervailing tariffs at the Donald Trump administration’s habitual bad-faith trade bargaining, surely it would be difficult to imagine a better moment than the day after Labour Day 2026, David J. Climenhaga writes. #abpoli

It’s one thing to build a pipeline on paper.
It’s another to construct it through one of the world’s most crowded and geographically difficult transportation corridors, as Trans Mountain Pipeline Co. painfully discovered.

"Oil has dominated our lives for the last century. It has given us warmth, progress, and life-threatening pollution. It has been a gift and it is now a threat. It has started wars, ended wars, and infiltrated governments — in some cases, effectively become the government." This powerful novella is a must read.

"Critics say this 'revolving door' creates an unfair playing field, where former officials can use their connections to potentially influence the awarding of multi-million-dollar contracts."
In Alberta, they just hand out Turkish Tylenol contracts straight to the donors, don't even need the former official! #abpoli #corruption

Question for #Alberta #ABPoli folks:
Is anyone compiling a list of all the different websites that are providing information/advocacy about the October referendum questions? I think I've seen at least half a dozen shared now.
Specifically, does anyone have a list of who is behind each website & what their qualifications are? Are there any actually backed by constitutional scholars & immigration lawyers, talking about the context & impact of the proposals?
I don't have the energy to vet them all, but I'd like to have a good link to point other people to. I mean, the short version is "Vote No to all the UCP proposals and 'remain a province of Canada' to the separation question," but it'd be nice to have a good summary of why it is important & to what degree the other side is spoutin' nonsense.

It’s official. The attack on our cultural reach, including in French, and trying to limit our international trading partnerships, was a direct attack on Canada 🇨🇦 as a sovereign country.
We will not be the 51st state. Never.
Not even Alberta.The USA is a hostile country.
Americans: this is on you. All of you. Fix it. Canada will make your life exactly as difficult as ours is, because of your President. Our leaders are now seriously talking about taxing or limiting energy exports to your country as we pivot to the welcoming embrace of the rest of the world.
Only you can fix this.
