So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday. And today, the U.S. announces that they are lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and planning to buy some,

I think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.

It would be interesting to see what percentage of those who agree and disagree are separatists.

I remain concerned that the premier will use any potential problems on referendum day/on Elections Alberta's part to justify *another* referendum -- one that would presumably keep the separatists off her back for a little while longer. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/17/o...

Forget about banning American imports. In Alberta, the government is actively importing as many aspects of their political culture as possible. The latest: election denialism.

In an excellent article for the Observer, @maxfawcett.bsky.social explains why Mark Carney should use his political capital to deliver proportional representation. Quebec just proved how first-past-the-post distorts results across parties. Read it here! www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/08/o...

The Quebec election was yet another example of our electoral system’s flaws. Mark Carney should fix them
It was more than a decade ago when former prime minister Justin Trudeau promised to change Canada's electoral system. Mark Carney should finish the job.

Your regular reminder that the job of an ICE officer is dramatically safer than the job of a regular cop, such that not a single ICE deportation officer has been killed in the line of duty since 1949 (and that was actually a stabbing inside an INS jail in Hawaii, not street enforcement).

I can’t help but notice that ICE keeps claiming that people it shoots were trying to ram the agents with a car, and then video keeps proving that’s a lie.

Very interesting piece/take by the esteemed Andrew Leach. TL;DR (but you should!) version: one of her proposed constitutional amendments would make it *harder* to build pipelines, not easier. It might, in fact, give a progressive BC government a veto over them. leach.substack.com/p/is-daniell...

Is Danielle Smith looking to hamstring the Pacific Link pipeline?
The constitutional amendment contemplated in Question 9 would do just that

This isn't just grasping at straws -- it's grasping at thin air. LNG Canada uses steel modules fabricated in China because we don't make them here. The first phase was built in large part because of a duty waiver the Trudeau government granted. Would PP like to see the project not built at all?

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

"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.
