Billionaires don’t want to pay 2% more in taxes, so they have the media companies they own working overtime to keep us fighting with each other over nonsense.

Important message for Alberta. They may say it's a done deal, but we still need to fight these data centers. Be ungovernable.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Separatists are motivated by greed, guns, oil and hate.

Okay, so this is the real plan. Have a referendum, knowing it will fail. Declare independence anyway and have the US move in to enforce it. Referendum is about laying the groundwork for a US invasion that looks "noble" rather than predatory. ffs. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
