www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Alberta has long been a province of boom and bust. When your economy is heavily dependent on resource extraction that's how it goes. What is criminal is most of the money went to oil companies. Now we should be phasing out oil not re-investing. #cdnpoli

Economic frustration fuels Alberta separatism — these charts suggest why | CBC News
Alberta is a wealthy province. Yet economic frustration is part of what's driving the separation movement. But would independence improve Alberta's fortunes or bring new economic concerns?

The fact is that crime in Toronto is down. But protofascist politicians like Brad Bradford incite contrary “feelings” to win electoral advantage. And the 🍁gun cult does the same to get people wanting to have firearms on their bedside tables. They want us to be just like the 🇺🇸USA. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Jason Kenney: "The lower the turnout, the better for the separatist side. If turnout is 40% or below, I think they could actually win, because it's not implausible for them to get 20% of the voting eligible population out. Partly because there's more intensity on the separatist side."

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

Zelenskyy is right. Let's hope Ukraine has a healthy stock of drones and cruise missiles to apply its own sanctions on Russian refining and exports. One benefit of Trump ending almost all aid to UA is that he no longer has much leverage in Kyiv to persuade it not to.
