What a bunch of lying, conniving traitors - selling out both Alberta and Canada to the likes of Trump and his ilk. They don't have enough local support so they gleefully succumb to the special interests of American operatives. Pathetic. 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

“Ms. Smith’s United Conservative Party has been hijacked by separatists, and as a sop to them she has construed a separation referendum that she did not campaign on. It really has zero, and I mean zero, credibility.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Useful context for Alberta’s anti-inmigrant referendum questions. We are not being “flooded” with newcomers. And scapegoating immigrants for longstanding structural problems with our public health care system, in particular, is gutter politics. #cdnpoli #abpoli #notothenine.

Canada stopped deferring to the U.S. on China - a country toward which Ottawa and Washington actually shared some concerns - because Trump was too erratic. It’s pretty funny that he now thinks he can dictate our relationship with Europe.

Last week, Smith posted on social media that “For every $1 of taxes a guest worker generates, taxpayers are covering $10 in services.” While this figure might ring true for many, it is far from accurate. I fact-checked Smith’s claims in my latest for @thetyee.ca
