Nazis have (and continue) to attempt to actively recruit homeless or street involved people, often through doing outreach or offering support. Which is even more reason for leftists to make sure the homeless are supported so they are less vulnerable to fascist recruiting

Fair, can’t disagree. Still a sad & alienating truth. I also have a hard time seeing a future here, just for totally different reasons, so though I am not a separatist, don’t feel seen / included in “frustrated federalist” either. Probably an outlier though. Maybe you can study that one day :)

I feel it for many “average”Albertans who have been swept up by the false promises of the movement but for those who are using it as en excuse to go mask-off with their transphobia, misogyny & racism? Sorry not sorry. They don’t get to trample on our rights & call it legitimate grievance.

But still feel such a gut punch with the headline & the constant shorthand of “Albertans…” think, feel, etc. I know you’re speaking from data but (so not arguing with the conclusion) but it’s so alienating when you can’t see yourself in your home. Finally, there are reasonable limits to empathy. 2/3

Can’t disagree with the core argument, which seems to be that mocking / deriding separatists is not going to help long term - some empathy & understanding & acknowledgement of real challenges with confederation is needed. 1/

Just finished this book. It’s a quick & easy read & very important for dispelling the “nice” Canadian myth. Curious though, why no in-depth discussion of residential school denialism, AB separatism, or the “Take Back Alberta” UCP ? They seem obvious & high impact examples to study.

Sunday Sept 20th 10 AM Morinville #abpoli
Protest announcement for Meta AI Data Centre construction in Sturgeon County. The poster reads “OUR LAND. OUR WATER. OUR COMMUNITIES. OUR VOICE.” and “PROTEST: Meta AI Data Centre Construction.” The protest takes place Sunday, September 20, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Sturgeon County Centre, 9613–100 Street, Morinville. The poster invites neighbours, friends and community members to make their voices heard, emphasizing informed decisions, accountability and protecting the place we all call home. A “What to Bring” section lists snacks, water, weather-appropriate clothing including an umbrella if needed, posters and signs, and an open mind and willingness to learn. It encourages people to bring everyone they can, including family, friends and neighbours. The poster also features the messages “PEOPLE BEFORE PROFITS” and “STRONGER COMMUNITIES, BRIGHTER FUTURES,” with the words “INFORM • ASK • CHALLENGE • PROTECT.” The background shows a rural Alberta landscape with a wooden fence and a weathered cardboard protest sign attached to a wooden post.
