This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

This is now the final myth in the 8 Myth series. Feel free to download, share, and use however you like. Hope these help spark better conversations — and push back on misinformation. #ABleg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli #GiveVoiceAB

MYTH #8 in an 8-part series on Alberta separatism.
This final post challenges the belief that Alberta would instantly become richer, freer, and more powerful if it left Canada. The myth suggests that independence would let Alberta keep more money, eliminate red tape, and gain full control over its future.

The reality: secession would bring high costs and global uncertainty. Alberta would need to create its own currency or adopt another, build new borders, establish trade from scratch, and duplicate federal systems like pensions, military, and emergency response — all while landlocked and diplomatically unrecognized. Independence isn’t a shortcut to prosperity but a leap into chaos, debt, and isolation.

The breakdown explains that modern nationhood is complex. Provincial wealth doesn’t automatically convert into national solvency. Even a modest drop in GDP from political and investment uncertainty could erase years of growth. Alberta’s major industries — oil, agriculture, and finance — depend on seamless interprovincial and international trade, all of which would be jeopardized by separation.

This series was inspired by the resurgence of separatist rhetoric and symbolic campaigns in Alberta that misrepresent legal, economic, and historical realities. It aims to counter disinformation and offer accessible, sourced perspectives to promote informed discussion.

Sources include:
Clarity Act (Canada); Mitchell-MacLean (2025); Robertson (2023); Mah (2024); Canada West Foundation (2022)

This concludes the “8 Myths of Alberta Separatism” series from Give Voice.

HEY CONSERVATIVE PARTY I AM TRYING TO BE ON VACATION PLEASE STOP PLAYING FOOTSIE WITH ELECTION DENIAL IN YOUR FUNDRAISING EMAILS (Latest fundraising email now claims the media are working with the Liberals to “tip the scales” on recounts 🙃)

Email subject reads: We're under attack

From CPC HQ 5:08 PM

email excerpt reads:

“Hey Friend,
Right now, we are under attack by the media.
Last week, we asked for your help to get our top political operatives on the ground to oversee vote recounts in key ridings across the country.”

Another email excerpt reads:

“The mainstream media are coming
after us.
We can't let up.
We have a REAL shot at sending
MORE Canada First Conservative
voices to Ottawa.
And we're counting on YOU to make a QUICK and SECURE
donation to our RECOUNT FIGHT FUND! The Liberals and their media allies are fighting TOOTH AND NAIL to tip the scales-don't sit back and let that happen.
RUSH in a donation now.
RECOUNT FIGHT FUND
Thank you for your support.”

After the Second World War, as Canada was coming through what some called the "post-war gloom", a young woman from Ottawa brightened things with her skills on the ice. She was Barbara Ann Scott and this is the story of how she captured the hearts of Canadians. 🧵1/12

Barbara Ann Scott in a black-and-white photo ice skates gracefully, wearing a long-sleeved top, a short pleated skirt, and white skates. Her arms are extended, and she has a pearl necklace. The background is dark, highlighting her on the ice.

Watch (in 3 parts) @davidwcochrane.bsky.social slay the sweaty, stuttering demon on live TV today on #PnPCBC as he takes Scheer to task on his lies. It’s so infuriating watching a politician disinform so brazenly but so refreshing watching the media do their job so effectively. Bravo. (1/3)

Jim Sciutto nails it: This isn’t just about one gang leader, one university, or one law firm. It’s about principles: -Due process -Academic freedom -The right to legal representation If those fall, they fall for everyone. This is authoritarian creep, not partisan politics.👇
