Other newshounds were not in the room. True North banned them. Rick Bell was there. He had special permission from D Smith's office, my colleague was told.

As for Albertan criticism of Quebec, the issue isn’t really that Quebec has programs like affordable daycare and lower tuition, it's that Alberta, with GDP per capita about 40% over the national average, and maybe even better able afford such services, chooses NOT to offer them to Albertans.

Also misunderstood by AB separatist nitwits, is that the inclusion of oil-rich Alberta into the calculation raised the national standard significantly. Under the old formula, Ontario was the top-performing province. Soaring oil prices for example is beyond the control of Ontario's government.

Next, eligibility for equalization is based on a province falling below a national income standard; it is NOT based on how much a province spends, runs a deficit or surpluses. ie, a small province like PEI could run budgetary surpluses, yet (small tax base) be unable to meet the national standard.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

Conservative Labour Critic says nationalizing Stelco is a non-starter because governments "don't run things well," citing the TMX pipeline, while in the same breath arguing the government should build the Pacific Link pipeline because "that's a good thing."

2/ As many Canadians know - or should know - provinces do not necessarily spend the federal dollars they receive on health care of the universal kind. See benighted Alberta, where the UCP have wasted huge amounts on Tylenot, selling labs and then buying them back, etc. /3

Canada's doctors (the Canadian Medical Association) is pestering the federal government to spend more on health care. Constitution 101: *provinces* are responsible for health care delivery. Health Act transfers (about $40B/year) are meant to roughly equalize Canadians' access to care. /2

Just complete nonsense. The federal NDP and Bloc Quebecois are not "fringe parties" -- they win dozens of seats every election. The Alberta separatists have never won a single one federally, and only one at the provincial level. And yet, the premier is allowing them to dictate her entire agenda.

Alberta separatists have friends in high places; conservative parties

An undercurrent of separatist sentiment has always been around but it's only recently that they've been afforded the favour of policy makers.
