we are in trouble. there's no denying it. and we're in a crazy alternative world where we're pretending everything is A-OK. It's not. Let's do more. Let's pressure our poliiticians to fight harder, for us.

The US owns more than 60% of the oil sands. ConocoPhillips announces lay offs—the moment their fall-to-the-USA plans were foisted—yet hat 🎩 in hand 🖐️ still for a 🇨🇦public-paid pipeline & CCS scam. #abpoli #cdnpoli Cc @mark-carney.bsky.social @naheednenshi.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Well knock me over with a feather: Black Press has published an article in favour of proportional representation. It admits that the election results do not reflect the popular vote. That we have to keep going over this is like Groundhog Day albernivalleynews.com/2026/10/26/b... #bcpoli

“The principal purpose of Carbon Capture & Storage has never been to tackle the climate crisis. Instead, CCS serves to align public opinion & government policies with the fossil fuel industry’s plans for unrestricted expansion under the cover of “net-zero". www.nationalobserver.com/2022/04/06/o...
This is where the “capture and storage” plant that we were promised that has NEVER worked

When our senior military officers no longer want to serve with the 🇺🇸USA military at NORAD’s command centre in Colorado, it’s inconceivable that 🇨🇦Canada could even contemplate going ahead with purchasing USA F-35 fighter jets. 🙄😒🙄 www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Smith has no mandate from the close votes for her 9 questions for quasi-sovereignty and she knows it. We all know in Alberta she brought the separation to us due to her close connections with MAGA. Remember all the trips to Washington/Mar-a-Lago with pictures she’s so proud of 🤮 Smith must RESIGN❕

Sadly...this is not going to happen, because leaders like @mark-carney.bsky.social would rather burn the planet down to appease their oil/gas masters and big tech overlords. So pathetic. . thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...

Not to sound like a broken record but do you know what's VASTLY more popular than #Separatism in #Alberta? Like a legitimate, solid, reliable MAJORITY? CLIMATE ACTION How about a #Referendum on that? www.pembina.org/blog/strong-... #abpoli #cdnpoli #ClimateChange
Why doesn’t Canada have this #climate vision, one congruent with a livable future? @mark-carney.bsky.social?
Finland is aiming to go carbon neutral in 15 years. They're creating jobs by boosting #renewables and saving trees. Its CO2 emissions have already dropped 21% since 1990s levels. We have the solutions, let's speed it up and implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #vote

Read this story. Danielle Smith's UCP scapegoated immigrants for the healthcare mess. Emergency room doctor Warren Thirsk tells the truth about what the UCP have done to our healthcare system.
New from me: A doctor testifying at an inquiry into the death of a man in an Edmonton emergency room says stories like Prashant Sreekumar’s are more common than the public is aware of amid a rolling “disaster” in emergency medicine. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Now, more than ever, Albertans need to kick their addiction to grievance politics. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...
This is for/about you and your incipient petrostate, @mark-carney.bsky.social
You’re not unlocking Canada’s ‘full potential’. You’re serving the gas and oil industry, the same industry the US has a huge steak in. You’re wasting Canada’s potential, and this will hurt Canada more than anything Trump can dream of. Wind, sun, water ffs this isn’t rocket science

Few, if any, Canadian commentators are as adept at debunking the Alberta perpetual grievance complex as Max
The separatists are going to lose today’s vote. But if Alberta’s political class doesn’t stop feeding and inflaming their bottomless sense of grievance and victimhood, we’ll all end up losing in the end. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/19/o...
