Alberta’s premier lavishes praise on Ottawa for how much it collaborated with the province before making new court appointments, days before Alberta’s referendum Q that proposes to constutionally overhaul the way judges are picked. (bonus, surely, that one new judge was her deputy Justice minister)

This, all of this. ✊🏾👏🏾💥 Why aren't senior business leaders across AB industry sectors dropping these statistics on immigration & the absolute dependency that Alberta's workforce has on immigration? Why aren't all the business & political leaders who aren't Canadian-born standing up & speaking out?

The myth Alberta 'subsidizes' the rest of Canada is the most powerful meme in the separatist armoury. But it's utterly false. I show that most Albertans get more back from federal programs than they personally pay in federal taxes, for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026... #abpoli /2

The smaller side can win a referendum — or at least make it close
A side that's behind in the polls can still win if the other side stays home. Try it with the Alberta separation vote.

This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10
Political cartoon criticizing the Republican platform for favoring untaxed whiskey (jug labeled "Untaxed Whiskey 20¢ Gal.") while presenting war‑taxed common cloth with an 89% tariff, highlighting perceived hypocrisy.

On July 31, 1987, an F4 (possibly an F5) tornado hit the eastern parts of Edmonton and Strathcona County. It left 27 dead, injured 300 and caused $332 million in damages. This is the story of Black Friday. 📸 Steve Simon 🧵 1/12
The provided photo shows the iconic image of the 1987 Edmonton tornado, captured by photographer Steve Simon. It depicts a large, wedge-shaped funnel cloud descending from a dark storm sky, touching down over an industrial area known as Refinery Row in eastern Edmonton, Alberta. The tornado appears as a bright, contrasting formation against the blackened background, with buildings, utility poles, and structures visible in the foreground.

As someone with a 20 acre cherry orchard next to our BC property I’m torn. It’s 4 years old, 10000 trees with above ground sprinklers! No drip irrigation & the cherries are for export. Important for the economy but such a waste of resources. Still in disbelief drip irrigation is not a requirement.
