Mayor of Edmonton on separatists colluding with GOP operatives: "This is not about a conversation about being an independent Alberta. This is a conversation about the United States looking to just take us over."

Mayor of Calgary: "It's really rich to see from some of these leaders in the separatist movement, they talk about freedom, sovereignty. And when they go down south of the border, offering our water, our land, our oil, this is not about taking back Alberta, this is about selling out Alberta."

Mayor of Calgary: "A very small minority of folks are so deranged on this, they assume Justin Trudeau is around. They'll blame him for everything from why we lose our socks in the dryer to why we sell hotdog buns in packages of 12 but we sell hotdogs in packages of 8. It's absolutely ridiculous."

Feel like I’m playing chess with the little one next door. She found this in the faerie garden & I just watched her wander around with it looking for a new place to put it. It’s “hide & seek”and I love it.

Very interesting, respectful interview with Scott Aitchison. His praise & kudos for Pierre Poilievre sound genuine. However, I wonder if some of that is because he would like to see his Parry Sound seat remain Conservative when there’s a byelection. That said, wish him well. #pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Kate Harrison tries to equate a Liberal helping a candidate in another province, with foreign interference (AB separatists meeting with people from the U.S.). She’s so disingenuous. I’d rather not hear her opinions at all but at least David Cochrane steps in try & stop her “train”. #pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Interesting interview with Globe & Mail’s Carrie Tait explaining reporting about AB separatists meeting with American operatives from the state department - even some from Michigan going to Alberta. There were times she was hesitant & I wonder what she was trying not to say. #pnpcbc #abpoli

Monday morning coffee where the debate about what I want to do, have to do & need to do begins. Not sure why I try to bargain with myself - the outcome is usually the same. But I never stop trying. That’s the important thing. Because you never know when life will make a decision for you.

This is why I thrift. This canister came with a lid that was broken inside (missing the seal around the rim). But for $6 I knew why I wanted it & why the broken lid didn’t matter. I’ll now donate the plain canister I’ve been using. #thrifting #thrifted #recycling

As proof of his genius, he offers a story in which he realized that if they added 1 to 1775 it would give them the number 1776. No, I'm being completely serious. And his mouthbreathing crowd applauds that basic math like the man split the atom.

It’s October. The pinkwashing begins. I’ve remembered something more important about breast cancer than the fundraising. Hope. And resilience. A conversation last week with @northernpoppet.bsky.social reminded me. With thanks. substack.com/@sherrylee21...

Sunday morning coffee with dreams of far away places and far away people. The latter more than the former. All that’s missing is my passport and a pain au chocolat. I can take care of the latter when I’m out later this morning. But it won’t be quite the same.

Sadly, the "but this is also abuse" is too often overlooked. It is as damaging as outright physical abuse - in it's own way. The scars from physical abuse are visible (even when covered over) & bruises fade - the effects of emotional/psychological abuses can't be seen & can take longer to fade.

Maybe this is the final push some Canadians need to move on. But as J.P. Tasker includes in the article - selling a home in the current climate (financial & political) is a challenge. #cdnpoli #uspoli www.cbc.ca/news/world/f...

IN RESPONSE TO THE LIES TOLD BY THE GLOBE AND MAIL I OFFER THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE

It is a complete lie that we offered the US anything when we visited Washington on behalf of Albertans in favour of Alberta Independence.

We were private citizens. We had no government mandate to offer anything. We only went to Washington to express the aspirations of hundreds of thousands of Albertans for a free and independent Alberta and to gauge US support for such a project.

We were gratified by the expressions of enthusiasm by US officials and the fact that Citizens of Alberta receive a far warmer welcome in Washington than we would ever receive in Ottawa.
