Barely any media reporting on this. Instead it's one big tech weirdo after another talking about how their god machines want to kill us all so they need all of earth's resources immediately

“The premier needs to allow emergency physicians to participate in her capitalist panacea. I’m sure she won’t want to deny emergency patients the right to buy their way out of the chaos.” Brilliant satire from Dr Paul Parks! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

We need to talk about the separatists selling out our city and province. MAGA operatives came to Calgary to help carve up our country. Meanwhile, separatist leaders went to Washington promising our water, our oil, and our land. If you want to live in the United States, move to the United States.

The Alberta government pays millions to cover oil and gas companies’ delinquent lease payments. Which companies had land rents paid by taxpayers in 2025? Gov’t agencies don’t track and summarize that data. The IJF analyzed thousands of documents to answer this question. zurl.co/IuOMT

"Invasion." "Remigration." They're terms you'd more commonly associate with America's toxic debate around immigration policy than Canada's. But they're starting to pop up here. You can thank Danielle Smith and the UCP for that. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/06/o...

America’s anti-immigration politics are coming to Canada — and Alberta invited them in
The separation question has consumed most of the attention around the province's October 19th referendum. The immigration-related questions also on the ballot might be just as dangerous and divisive.
