Not my real name 😉 - Canadian First, Albertan Second. I work in the trades and love Renewables and O&G because they compliment one another.

I've said it before Jespo, Trump has done a great service to Canada. He's united us almost entirely against him! 😂

@ryanjespersen.bsky.social I'll tell you, working in a parkade with next to zero cell service is killing me! I can't listen to #RealTalkRJ live! 😭 I'll see if I can muster up a Flamethrower for Friday 😉

Is she trying to pull an Allison Redford? I don't mean to drag her name back out, but who else can we compare this to? *She seems to be doing OK now* Certainly not @rachelnotley.bsky.social with her Cabinet costs barely scrapping past $750k.

The United Chuckleheads Party is 100% to blame for this idiocy! Not TFWs, not immigrants, not doctors or AHS, or the addicts fault. It falls on this piece of work 👇👇

Under the @albertandp.ca I waited an average of 3 hours to see a doctor in Calgary. The "Alberta is Calling" was great till everyone showed up, had we had no where to house them, no beds for the hospitals due to the population increase, and are now going 2 tier HC.

And said by Jeff Rath to boot! The man whose allegedly overcharged First Nations, and used the funds he was ordered to pay back to buy precious metals. I think he needs to open that book up again and read up on dishonest business dealings.

I love this quote. I’m going to be using it. “How small are you willing to make your world until everyone agrees with you?” Honestly, this one stopped me in my tracks. #ABPoli #ABLeg #cdnpoli Alberta separatism has a story problem open.substack.com/pub/womenofa...
A miniature figure reclines casually in a blue deck chair on top of a giant tennis ball against a bright turquoise background. The image is paired with a quotation by Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean: “How small are you willing to make your world until everyone agrees with you?” The visual humorously suggests someone retreating into a small, self-contained world where everyone agrees with them.

What an unprincipled move. Power grabs don't work in Canadian politics. I would argue though that Prentice was a little different in that he was looking for a mandate that he felt he did have as an incoming Premier who wasn't elected. That being said the similarities are there.

Sure seems to be a lot of people throwing shade at Nenshi for supporting a pipeline. The man is trying to get elected to end the insanity of Danielle Smith. You can't get elected in Alberta shitting on the O&G industry.

Considering the majority of children subjected to the New Ideological Draft curriculum haven't been through the full system yet, you're just being mean. We had a top tier education system until the UCP lunatics *cough *cough religious zealot Adriana LaGrange got her hands on it.

Since Rachel Notley (the only AB Premier in 20 years to build a pipeline), the @albertandp.ca have been at odds and or disavowed Federal NDP policy. I do believe that Notley was quoted as saying they share their name and colors only.

Time to build national unity projects that unite the country. I haven't been to the East, because the time commitment to drive and the flight w/ stay cost is prohibitive. Now that we have a project that benefits the Oil corporations, let's make something for us!

Ivan Van Nostrin @nostrin.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
What else do you do? In all reality, the only way out from under the US is to build it out. What about a Trans-Canada high speed rail? My mentality is "Cut the Cheque bro!" the more national projects that benefit the majority, is what we need more of. It's like the Great Depression pt 2.

Thomas Lukaszuk told a Toronto business audience at the Economic Club of Canada that “the promise of a pipeline” is not enough for Alberta.

Wild how the NDP consistently showed their fiscal responsibility while in office and we're absolutely LAMB BASTED over their fiscal policy. The Media in Alberta should be ashamed for their hatchet work.
