“A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada…” Can we stop both siding this yet? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

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

Four former deans of medicine in Alberta have joined a growing chorus of critics asking Ottawa to intervene in the province’s dual-practice health care model, which allows eligible doctors to toggle between the public and private systems. #ableg #abpoli @theglobeandmail.com

ICYMI, #DanielleSmith & her endless treachery & lying, has ratcheted up grotesque levels of manipulation. In addition to crocodile tears, she repeats lies. #ForeverCanada petition DID NOT “ask for a vote”. The petition asked that the insanity of #AlbertaSeparation be stopped in its treasonous tracks

Even more than participants, it needs vigilant fighters & protectors. Too many of us who grew up in the decades following WWII assumed that our democracies were strong and secure & that the good times would roll on forever without us having to put in the hard work to secure them. Boy were we wrong!

Daniel Smith is a flat out baldfaced liar. Her 'vision' for Alberta is truly dystopian and disturbing, based on a racist white nationalist playbook wholly adopted from MAGA JesusLand USA. It is FLAT OUT anti-Canadian. AND every bit as repulsive as the moron AB separatist movement, if not worse.

New ads just dropped - There’s a poll out tomorrow via CBC that apparently shows the UCP down. That’s because Danielle Smith’s catering to separatists is unpopular, and the closer we get to Oct 19, the more people are (rightfully) blaming her for this debacle. No to the Nine.

And yet Albertans continue to vote for her and her party. If current opinion polls are to be believed, she's in position to win the next general election in AB. Says something (not very flattering) about Albertans, and about @naheednenshi.bsky.social and the ABNDP.

Ottawa says they don't want a fight with Alberta but you're in one so fight it. The argument is that just gives Smith what she wants but her popularity is tanking here and laying out her crimes and corruption for federal investigation would go a lot further than talking about "real grievances".

Yup. Hard agree. The feds will not lose support by pushing back on behalf of all of us. The vast majority of Albertans would welcome it. We are exhausted from fighting this corruption and we need help. Not sure? Ask Ed Sheeran how staying neutral on obvious blatant fuckery worked out for him.

Yes, the GOP is disgraceful & has become a fascist movement in the thrall of a madman. McConnell was one of the architects of this transformation & he's shit all over the constitution. So while it's a disgusting spectacle to watch, I have no sympathy for his plight. He is reaping what he showed.

She could use a few extra calls. #abpoli

Bright yellow political flyer featuring a vintage yellow rotary telephone on the right with its handset lifted and black coiled cord extending across the lower portion. On the left, large black text reads “Make the call.” Beneath it, smaller text reads “Ask the premier to cancel the referendum.” The flyer prominently displays “780-427-2251,” followed by “Premier’s Office” and “Toll free: 310-0000.” The clean, minimalist design uses black typography against a bright yellow background, with the telephone providing the main visual element.

What's the point of replacing the organ grinder with the monkey? What is needed is a crushing defeat of the UCP at the polls - both the referendum and the next general election.

It's not that they couldn't see it. It's that they didn't mind what they saw, or worse, they liked what they saw. That is what is so disturbing.

I think we should be cautious about celebrating. Given what the UCP has done to healthcare and education, in addition to the divisive and destructive referendum, I would have expected, if not a landslide, then at least a much bigger margin of victory for the ABNDP. Nenshi has some work to do.

During WWII, de Havilland was one of the main aircraft manufacturers, as was Avro (of the Avro Arrow fame). The latest iteration of de Havilland is making the new water bombers in Calgary.

Norm H 🇨🇦 @normh.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Given the growing urgency of building up our domestic fleet of water bombers, driven by climate change turning our forests into powder kegs, Canada must adopt a wartime-like approach to churning out these planes at a much higher rate. Just as in WWII, when we produced 80 planes PER WEEK!
