(I never do this.) But... What he's TRYING to say is his usual choice between high gas prices or Iran having a nuclear weapon. It sounds like he's inviting them to attack those cities but what he's trying to say is they could if they had a nuke. His addled brain screwed up the delivery.

IN RESPONSE TO THE LIES TOLD BY THE GLOBE AND MAIL I OFFER THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE

It is a complete lie that we offered the US anything when we visited Washington on behalf of Albertans in favour of Alberta Independence.

We were private citizens. We had no government mandate to offer anything. We only went to Washington to express the aspirations of hundreds of thousands of Albertans for a free and independent Alberta and to gauge US support for such a project.

We were gratified by the expressions of enthusiasm by US officials and the fact that Citizens of Alberta receive a far warmer welcome in Washington than we would ever receive in Ottawa.

Oh wow In May, I reported Alberta separatists were using an app developed by GOP operatives with ties to US ambassador Pete Hoekstra @theglobeandmail.com now reports the same operatives flew to Calgary on a private jet for a secret meeting with separatist leaders: pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...
The pitch began with a prayer.
On an afternoon in late January, Mitch Sylvestre, the leader of Alberta's most prominent separatist organization, gathered with three of his lieutenants in a boardroom not far from the executive hangars at the Calgary International Airport, where private jets shuttle in and out of the city away from prying eyes.
It was a few hours before thousands of Albertans would gather near the city centre at a rally to launch the separatist campaign. But this meeting, convened behind closed doors a half-hour drive away, was invite only.
The Alberta Prosperity Project chose the location to accommodate its guests, Republican political strategists from Michigan who helped Donald Trump win the state in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The American delegation travelled to Calgary to sell them on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote - and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation.
"They were young Christians. Capable, intelligent people," Mr. Sylvestre said. "We prayed before we started the meeting.""There is no secrecy'
One of the key figures behind the Michigan software company has expressed strong views on Alberta.
On July 1, Mr. Born wrote on social media: "On this Canada Day, I hope this is the last year Alberta is part of Canada." He has also called for U.S. annexation of the province.
A hunter, outdoorsman and commercial real estate agent in Grand Rapids, Mr. Born is the stepson of J.C. Huizenga, a wealthy Republican donor and founder of National Heritage Academies, a network of conservative charter schools in the U.S.
Mr. Wierda is the nephew of Erik Prince, who founded and ran the private military contractor Blackwater before it was sold to investors in 2010, and Betsy DeVos, the education secretary during Mr. Trump's first term.

NEWS RELEASE

Nenshi must choose: Alberta or Avi Lewis

October 1, 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Edmonton, AB - Earlier today, Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney took a major step toward getting the Pacific Link pipeline built and Alberta energy to new customers around the world - the very same project Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi wrote off as a "pipe dream."

It didn't take long for Nenshi's boss in Ottawa, Avi Lewis, to put his job killing, anti-pipeline, eco-socialist spin on today's announcement, calling the Pacific Link pipeline "absolutely not in the national interest," and "an offence to Canadian science, public health, collective safety, and common sense," while vowing the NDP will oppose it.

This comes just days after the Alberta NDP claimed United Conservatives "stole from" their energy plan by supporting a west coast pipeline.

Now, Nenshi's federal leader has declared war on the very type of project Canada needs one that supports Alberta's energy workers, strengthens Canada's energy security, positions Alberta and Canada to be a global energy superpower.

"Albertans deserve a straight answer on this," said Leader of the United Conservative Caucus Danielle Smith. "Just a few months ago, Naheed Nenshi's party was trying to take credit for a west coast pipeline. Today, his federal leader is promising to stop it. Albertans deserve to know whether Nenshi stands with Alberta energy workers or with Avi Lewis."

The Pacific Link pipeline is moving forward.

The only question left is whether Naheed Nenshi will stand with Alberta energy workers and condemn the anti-Alberta comments from his federal leader Avi Lewis.

Are you actively trying to make provincial NDP voters stay home during next year's election? Because I'm with Avi Lewis on this - not you. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.aptnnews.ca/featured/car...
NDP Leader Avi Lewis said the designation is not in the national interest.

"Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers' right to strike - is absolutely not in the national interest," Lewis said.

He said the industry is unwilling to finance the project, that Indigenous nations have expressed opposition, and that the risks include endangered southern resident orcas.

"This is a pipeline to the courts, and it's not worth the risk," he said.
