Now Elon Musk is calling for Alberta to separate from Canada. We don’t need the opinions of any more of Trump’s allies. We already have one as Premier.

Once again, for the politicians, business leaders, and journalists still actively posting on X/Twitter: why? You're using a platform that's owned by someone who's trying to break up your country. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Can't help but think email is not the best way to make first contact with a group, but maybe I'm old-fashioned. At least make a phone call to expect an email. Otherwise if the recipient doesn't know about email it might not notice items in the "junk" folder.

The G7 just agreed to release 100 million barrels of oil, in exchange for the US agreeing not to ban diesel exports.⁣ ⁣ That's not a solution. That's political leaders agreeing to look like they're solving a made-up crisis. youtu.be/I8waaPcvpQA

"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.

My husband and I smuggled scotch into my sister's palliative care hospital room, toasted to her adventurous life and then wheeled her down to the smoking room (they still had them back then) for a ciggie (her term for cigarette). Prescious memories.

It's still the weekend and I'm still relaxing. But I will weigh in to say a politician who lost his seat then forced a $2 million by-election and continued to live in a taxpayer funded mansion while a private citizen has no, and I mean no, credibility with me.

If you are Canada, Mexico, Brazil, France, UK, Germany, and Spain we demand that you open an official investigation and counter intelligence operation to protect yourselves not only from Russia, but US and Israeli foreign interference. You are the main targets of the current Trump op.

I was thinking just this morning that if the Whinestone Cowboy wanted to demonstrate his alignment with the "working class" he would give up the taxpayer-funded mansion and stop jet-setting across the country on the taxpayers' loonie.

I was in Metro today and saw Driscoll berries. In a slightly raised voice I said to my husband "I'm surprised they are still selling Driscoll berries. I would never buy them." A produce staff member was working nearby. My little protest.
