Please don’t assume anything, Alberta. Vote against the Russian and American-fuelled separation self-sabotage. Send a strong message to the rest of Canada that we’re in this together. Foreign actors want you to vote for your own Brexit or Trump… or to help them win by just staying home.

This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the country we are privileged to call home. Canada’s greatest strength has always been its people, our diversity, our shared values, and our determination to face challenges together. May we never take for granted the blessings of freedom, peace, and unity.

Jen Gerson with more truth bombs: “Voting to leave is not sending a message to Ottawa. It’s sending a message to Washington.” “The message is this: Canada is weak, regionally divided, and can be turned on itself for America’s benefit. Ultimately, that message hurts all of us, including Albertans.”

Media is reporting that the Alberta separatist side of referendum fund-raising, and thus spending, is greatly outpacing the “stay in Canada” side. In the “on-line-chatter” too. That’s not surprising when you remember that separatism is being pushed by Russian and American disinformation purveyors.

Climate change is not a hoax, and it is not a matter of scientists simply "believing" in it. It is an empirical finding supported by decades of observations, measurements, experiments, and physical evidence. This planet is warming due to CO2 emissions and that's as real as you are!

I was also at SFU and I had a poli sci class that morning. My prof was American and her son was going to school in New York. It was so tough as she didn’t know if he was okay. (He was) After class, I sat at home alone watching the TV reports with dread, as everything changed forever.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
