PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant.
"You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal"

The real issue we are seeing played out daily is that Dani “believes” she knows better than everyone at all times. That’s why, having received the confidence of a small majority of voters in Alberta, she feels entitled to “Rule”as she sees fit. All rise for Queen Dani 👸 - resistance is futile.
Albertans better fight her on this because if she gets her way with ignoring the referendum on DST you can be assured she will do the same with the separation referendum. This authoritarian must be stopped.
.@ABDanielleSmith insists that referenda are democratic and give “power to the people”.
Ok, if that’s the case, why is she now totally disregarding and overturning the clear referendum result on daylight time?
Whats the point of referenda in Alberta when premier overturns them at a whim.

It sure would be nice if Danielle Smith called this garbage out. She won't, of course, because she's terrified of these people.
Giving “library inspectors” the right to look at your library card, your history, and what you’ve signed out is fascist behaviour.
That's what the UCP's Bill 28 is all about.
The only thing Albertans should be separating from is the incompetent UCP! They are destroying this province, wasting our hard-earned money. A confusing referendum, a police force we do not want and now a corporation to oversee the four health departments! Seriously??? CALL AN ELECTION SMITH! NOW!
“I used to say I was Albertan with pride, but now I fear we all look like separatists and traitors to the nation. It’s a tragedy because so many Albertans love Canada.”
TRUTH
Maclean's approached me about writing a personal essay on Alberta Secession and my opposition to it.
It was published today.

Rachel Notley 58m • First they came for the trans people. Then they came for the unionized workers. Next it was judges. Now it's immigrants. If you think that you or someone you love won't be next, you're sorely mistaken. UCP voter, NDP voter, pro environment, pro business, rich or poor - these things don't matter. What matters is that we have the moral strength to call out this vile divisive tactic by this premier. Our schools are not struggling because there are too many English language learners. Our schools are struggling because the UCP funds education at the lowest rate in Canada. Yet if even one in ten Albertans buys into Smith's tactic of blaming each-other, my heart hurts at the prospect of a child being sent into school holding this kind of hate for their schoolmates. Danielle Smith and her government are responsible for a litany of failures in healthcare, education, and the economy. The Premier is sowing hate and division to distract from the fact that her government is the real culprit. Albertans should not be fooled by this cowardly strategy. There is only one vote I want. It's called an election. Then we can rid our province of the worst premier and the worst government in the historv of Alberta.
Rachel Notley is not mincing words:
Albertans did not give Danielle Smith and the UCP a mandate on 9 new referendum questions.
Or on separatism, or pulling out of the CPP, or breaching charter rights, or coal mining in the Eastern slopes, or bringing in two-tier health care.
Cut the bullshit. Call the election.
I feel immense grief for younger Albertans. I’ve been here 5+ decades—built my career, bought a house, benefitted from decently funded healthcare and education. Feels like the best that Alberta can be is behind us now and it’s a crying shame.
Will not be watching. Waste of time that can be spent on higher-quality fiction.
Just my opinion
The difference between a UCP deficit and an NDP deficit is that with the NDP the money would've been spent on healthcare, education and making life better for Albertans
With the UCP the money went on their friends and donors leaving Albertan worse off in every way

There would be no point in leaving Alberta as separation will crash the entire Canadian economy. Which is exactly what the American government is going for. Everyone against separation needs to take this seriously, speak out and support those who already are! And not just Albertans either!
Alberta, you are much better off as part of Canada. America is a shitshow currently. 95% of us here still love you and respect your sovereignty. Many of us dream of being Canadian. Preserve your reputation and independence. We will keep fighting to right the capsized ship that is the current US.
Things Danielle Smith will police:
đź’‰ Your access to vaccines
đź“š Books in a school library
đź’» How your city counts votes
Things she won’t police:
✂️ Whether her MLAs side with separatists who want to tear Alberta out of Canada
UCP are a separatist government.

I threw away all Brandt's CD's that I owned after his support of the convoy border blockade in southern Alberta. Lost all respect for him.
Over 40,000 Canadians went to Afghanistan to fight the terrorists who attacked the U.S. on Sept 11, 2001. Thousands were wounded. 159 now lay in their graves.
No-one is permitted to discredit their service, not even a man who suffers from a bone spur-related mental disorder.
Just for reference. The latest polls in Alberta. As an Albertan myself,
I can tell you this is a minority that will not pass. We already had a petition to stay in Canada that reached almost 500k.
People are saying! FUCK him. 20%, that is what their poll shows. Trump is so hellbent on fucking over Canada b/c they won't submit they will look for any info to support expansionism, even picking the country apart. These Trumpian assholes. A cancer on democracy in America and the world.
Massive foreign interference in Canada's elections and our affairs, attempting to undermine our democracy
Just like they did in past elections, just like they did for the Ottawa fascist kkkonvoy mob in 2022
Most Albertans DO NOT WANT secession
Actualy, the last poll showed that 75% of the people of Alberta didn't want to leave Canada.
Alberta is home to a bunch of nasty white christian nationalists. American right-wing agitators have been making frequent pilgrimages there in recent years to stir the shitpot and destabilize Canada
The minority of Canadians who 'want what the US has got' need to pack up their things and go to the rapist pedophile US.
Bye.
I keep thinking of the 1996 Independence Day movie, but now Trump and his gang of villains are the aliens hovering over Earth preparing to strip it of all its resources.
"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules & values for the unhindered pursuit of their power & interest, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate" -- Carney's speech at Davos is an extended criticism of the damage Trump is doing (though he's not mentioning his name)
