  2. #Trump Isn’t Just Trolling #Canada. He’s Helping Push It Apart.

    By Curtis Gillespie, Sept. 3, 2026

    Excerpt: "The political pancake breakfast is one of the longstanding traditions of the Calgary Stampede, Alberta’s annual rodeo and fair. Members of the province’s governing #UnitedConservativeParty hosted one on July 2, the day after Canada Day. The far-right premier of the province, Danielle Smith, kitted out in Lone Star cowboy boots, a Stetson hat and a Texas Longhorn bolo tie, popped in. It was hard not to read the outfit as a conscious nod to Canada’s erstwhile friends south of the border, because President #Trump, #MAGA and the United States are unmistakable strands of the conversation in Alberta these days.

    "After flipping some flapjacks, the premier addressed the crowd, making sure to toss a pancake to her base by saying that immigrants — or 'newcomers,' as she put it — had caused government spending to skyrocket. She reminded people that the Stampede is an expression of bedrock Albertan values: grit, determination and getting back in the saddle. The implied contrast was with the hopeless mandarins in Ottawa who can’t be expected to know anything about such matters.

    "It would have been a typical Stampede breakfast were it not for the sightings of a formerly reclusive political creature: the baldfaced #AlbertaSeparatist, a breed apart from the more common species, the alienated Westerner. They came in groups like #Albertans4Freedom and #UnitedAlbertaFlags, which advocate Alberta seceding from Canada to become an independent #JudeoChristianNation.

    "They encouraged #Albertans to vote yes on Oct. 19 to a referendum question asking whether Alberta should start down the road to separation, an impulse that the Trump-friendly Ms. Smith — without explicitly endorsing separation — has given new life to by pushing for the referendum question to be on the ballot."

  7. In case you want to vote in Alberta's upcoming referendum, and if you are an Alberta resident, you really, really should, here is where to register for a mail in ballot. It doesn't take long to apply, but don't delay as there is a limited time to return it. Voting lines are predicted to be long, and the questions written to be confusing, so it's likely the best way.
