Jason Kenney warns Alberta independence movement could become ‘a real factor’ in politics The former premier is one of the few politicians making the federalist argument in opposition to the province’s separatist cause

I'd argue that Kenney's drive for the "Unite the Right" opened the door in Alberta politics to the very people trying assert separation on the province. Ultimately I feel he is responsible for this mess. #abpoli #ableg

Solar generation to rise 17% this summer: EIA The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s most recent short-term outlook highlights renewable energy’s growing grid penetration, particularly during the summer.

Trump tries to stop this low-cost solar power, so electric grids have to go to expensive dirty fossil plants, raising consumer prices, by (PUNCHLINE) driving money from regular ratepayers to Trump’s big fossil fuel donors. But clean energy keeps winning!!

Our Idiot President “Can’t Even Surrender Right” We will get the worst possible result from the least-worst choice.

"Iran will be stronger. China will also be stronger. The rest of the world will have to make moves to accommodate this new reality. And America, having been weakened substantially, will weaken further still."

Albertans are the least satisfied with quality of life across Canada: StatCan | Globalnews.ca A new survey from Statistics Canada shows that Albertans are less satisfied with the quality of life in Canada when compared to other Canadians.

I wonder why? Alberta is the richest province in Canada with the lowest tax rates!

This couldn't possibly have anything to do with the constant negativity Albertans hear from my UCP gov't and our endless attacks on Ottawa.

🚨BREAKING!🚨

The UCP have officially voted to ditch the Electoral Boundaries Commission Report to appoint their own commission and draw their own maps!

Gerrymandering is official UCP policy in Alberta!

Contrary to her script, Smith didn't even show up for the vote.

BREAKING: Canadian Research Lab Just Identified US/MAGA Funded Network of 20 YouTube Accounts, 4,500 Videos, And 40 Million Views Pushing U.S. Annexation on Alberta. The accounts are more pro-annexation than the actual separatists. That, right there, is the tell.

The foreign psyops operation to promote the Donbas-style traitors in Ottawa is at work. This has Brexit style interference all over it. Will the government take steps to shut down the foreign threats to our nation?

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

Fascinating story by @charlesrusnell.bsky.social on intersection of AI and foreign interference in Alberta’s separation campaign. It raises many troubling questions. Who is paying for AI slop disinformation? And who is consuming it? And how on earth can those on the No side compete? #ableg #abpoli

"When we start rigging maps and gerrymandering, it can only end badly," she said. "Unless the government chooses the majority report, this is not going to be a good outcome for Albertans."

UCP is never a good outcome for Albertans.

I'm starting to get the sense that referendums in Alberta are performative exercises instead of ways to resolve policy disputes.

Electoral boundary maps: majority report and the UCP-proposed gerrymandered report

The UCP LOST 34 out of 46 seats in Edmonton (0/20) and Calgary (12/26) in the last election.

No wonder Danielle thinks she has to cheat to hold onto power by gerrymandering.

The Film That Explains Contemporary America “The Sorrow and the Pity” has lessons for how authoritarianism takes root—and how to fight against it.

"Restoring democracy required opponents of fascism—nationalists, republicans, and Communists—to work together despite serious misgivings about one another’s views. Purity tests had to wait until the war was over."
