Rachel Notley on Elon Musk supporting Alberta separatism: "I think that folks who are thinking that there's something to be gained for Albertans by separating ought to ask themselves why certain folks south of the border think they have something to gain from Alberta separating."

Rachel Notley to Albertans who plan to vote for separation as a "message to Ottawa": "The message isn’t being sent to Ottawa. It’s being sent to investors around the world — and it says you cannot count on the stability of Alberta."

8 days to go to the tax-dollar-wasting, trans-hating, time-sucking, mind-fucking referendum on Oct 19 2026. Prepare to stand in long lines, dress warmly, hydrate and bring snacks to share. Be kind, be firm, be ruthless. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #bcpoli #UCPCorruption

Unfortunately, US cutting off intelligence already happened before in March 2025 and had real consequences for both Ukraine and Russia. US even banned allies from sharing intelligence.

Yes, it’s how voters elected Bob Rae, David McGuinty, and Kathleen Wynne. If voters gave a shit about anything but buck a beer and tax cuts, they wouldn’t keep re-electing Doug Ford. The feds can’t get Ontario to fund healthcare and education, that’s a voter job.

John Q Public @johnqpublic.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Provinces are putting forward industrial projects to be deemed “in the national interest” for fast-track approvals at the federal level. When the provinces submit projects for healthcare and education, let us know.

John Q Public @johnqpublic.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Carney can’t fix what Doug Ford wants to stay broken. Voters in Ontario don’t care about public healthcare or education, the federal government cannot change that.

John Q Public @johnqpublic.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
They are provincial interests, not national, and have been since confederation. Feds don’t just wade into provincial affairs and start slapping “national interest” labels on things, that’s not how it works and it’s bad politics.

John Q Public @johnqpublic.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Oh yes, the provinces and voters in those provinces love that, there’s only two of them voting to leave over tensions with the federal government. If you are so interested in education and healthcare, why aren’t you screaming at the governments that are constitutionally responsible for those files?

Take it up with the premiers who under-fund both of those provincial responsibilities to deliver tax cuts.

I mean, the BC NDP have won re-election three times in a row & may win a fourth, have been running British Columbia that is larger and more populated with a more diverse economy for a decade now, also ran BC for all of the 90s. What NDP party in Canada has a better record in the last 40 years?

Same for separatist Alberta. A large portion of these announcements are about keeping the country together during a time of economic warfare with the americans.

Exactly, we want more opportunity for parties to make deals that don’t cross some other weird taboo label elsewhere, or be branded by the failings of the federal / provincial party that happen to share the same name but stand for different things.

What would charging temporary residents for health care and education mean for Alberta?
When Albertans vote in the province’s referendum this fall, they will be asked whether people legally living and working in Alberta without permanent resident status should pay extra to use two of the province’s most important public services.

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.
