We’ve always known, but now it’s confirmed, that Danielle Smith’s separatist friends, including a sitting UCP president, have been conspiring to hand over Alberta’s land, oil and water to Donald Trump. Albertans deserve better than this weak leadership that hurts us all. tgam.ca/3Txh5Gt

The elephant in the room
Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

What’s the tipping point between being immersed in a subject and being obsessed? Not sure. But I crossed the line for long stretches while making my latest radio documentary. It’s about life in France during WW2 and the grey moral texture of living under German occupation and Vichy. 1/2

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.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.
