Loblaws needs to stop doing this. Firstly, stop stocking US produce. Secondly, stop putting signs that say "Canada" (or for some products "Mexico") when the produce is from USA. #Loblaws #cdnpoli #ElbowsUp #BoycottUSA #BuyCanadian
Signage that says Canada, but the labels on the apples says USA.

Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(Parody) @abdanielsmith.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
I DO NOT look like that! #abpoli #ableg #UCPCorruption
5 Manipulation Tactics Premier Danielle Smith Uses:

1. Victimhood Framing
She paints Alberta as a victim of Ottawa - saying billions are taken, jobs are lost, and opportunities are stolen.
> Why it's manipulative: It makes people feel attacked, even when the situation is more complex.
It turns federal policles into personal betrayals, which increases anger and fear.

2. Scapegoating the Federal Government
She blames almost every problem - economy, jobs, investment, inflation - on Ottawa,
→ Why it's manipulative: It simplifies complex issues and deflects attention from what her own government could be doing better. It makes one easy enemy, the feds,

3. Us vs. Them Language
She divides Canadians into good Albertans vs. out-of-touch eastern elites, freedom-loving citizens vs, interfering bureaucrats.
→ Why it's manipulative: It creates tribal loyalty, making people suspicious of outsiders or those who disagree.
It makes unity look like weakness and division look like a strength.

4. Emotional Extremes
She uses strong emotional words like 'attacks. crippling, 'ravaged,' and 'hostlle.
→ Why it's manipulative: This ramps up fear and urgency, When people are scared or angry, they stop questioning - and follow the strongest voice in the room.

5. Pretending to Be the Only Reasonable Voice She says she respects both separatists and federalists and just wants "a fair deal." She seems moderate - while planting radical ideas (like separation) as
"understandable."
→ Why it's manipulative: It disguises hardline rhetoric as balanced. It allows her to push extreme positions without taking full responsibility.

These tactics appeared in Danielle Smith's May 5th speech to Albertans.

A reminder: Pierre Poilievre has no security clearance. At a time when national and global security threats are real and growing, his opinions on intelligence, defence, or foreign affairs are uninformed and irrelevant. Leadership requires access to facts — not just soundbites.
