“Every time I see the premier on TV, I turn off the volume.” @lukaszukab.bsky.social says Premier Smith’s words on separation don’t match her actions. He calls the referendum questions misleading and confusing and says he’ll campaign for Option A on Question 10 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/f...

Everything the pro-Trump billionaire Ellison family will now own: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central And more... With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told. Shameful.

I keep meeting smart informed Albertans who tell me they do not intend to vote, because they don’t want to legitimize the process, or because they know the premier is not bound by the results. But what if making us give up on voting is the whole point? My argument to vote - no matter the absurdity.

Has there ever been a more iconic entrance? Rest in peace, Tim Curry.

Tip of the hat to former Alberta premiers, the Honourable Jason Kenney and the Honourable Rachel Notley heating they will co-chair the “Alberta and Canada: Stronger Together” campaign. #Oct19 #CNDpoli #ABLEG

Good morning! From poster Em Donovan: "I always like to share this photo of—what was my Dad’s home— in Ingonish, Nova Scotia. I still to this day don’t know who took it, but it was found online. It’s a truly stunning place, especially in the fall"

He was old, tired, and overlooked by everyone But one kind man saw him differently. Instead of leaving him behind, he brought him home — vowing to make his final years the happiest of his life 💛 Original post

Happy Father's Day 🖤

When it comes to polls, stats, facts and information about Alberta separation, we should all confirm, question, research and source. And for gods sake, stop repeating “300,000” without qualification that it’s an unverified number. Else it’s normalized. And weaponized. #ableg #ForeverCanadian

A month into my @nytimes.com subscription. Three articles today “US Carries Out New Strikes Near Base in Southern Iran” “ How to be Old” and “ What I Learned About Loss While Skateboarding at Costco” Any publication with those headlines is good in my books. Definitely not fake or failing.

The entanglement that is Canadian politics! I now find myself agreeing with Danielle Smith. The 14 MPs that feel strongly enough to sign a letter to the PM on “concern with government credibility” but the 14 don’t want to be identified? There’s a credibility issue for you! #ABleg #cdnpoli

As @acoyne.bsky.social said, Danielle Smith needs to be called out for double counting the Albertans seeking a referendum. #ForeverCanadian was purely a response to the separatists. There’s no stay in Canada petition underway in Nova Scotia. #Ableg #CDNpoli

Nate Horner, Matt Jones, Thomas Lukaszuk, Rebecca Shultz, and Pete Guthrie. Sounds like the making of solid leadership for a moderate conservative Alberta government not bound by Wildrose principles and backroom operators. #ABleg #Cdnpoli

The silence by a certain political slant on yesterday's disastrous meeting of the Citizen Initiative Proposal Review Committee is conspicuous. #ABLEG #ABPOLI

Some days, I really miss being a political journalist in Alberta.

Cons in AB dont have a great record of patience. Kenney outed by his own party.Stelmach, own party. Redford, own party. And yes, Ralph (cue the gasp now) Klein was out'd by his own party. No separatist referendum in October, Smith will be hosting mid day radio by 2027. #ABleg #CDNPOLI

Alberta Separatists and Alberta Prosperity Project need to strongly relook the catastrophizing of all things Ottawa and genuinely re-evaluate the glamourizing of Klein and/or separation as a solution. #ABleg #CDNPOLI

"The greatest danger in times of turbulence ( Alberta Separation )is not the turbulence—it is to act with yesterday's logic," emphasizes that relying on past solutions for new, volatile problems is more dangerous than the crisis - Peter Drucker- Ralph Klein type policy is not a solution #ABleg

With separatists groups like Alberta Prosperity Project, Stay Free Alberta, and Take Back Alberta starting to turn on each other, yet all working in some degree directly or indirectly with Danielle Smith and the UCP, it’s going to be tough sledding to justify “United” in the party name. #ABleg

There’s been a huge data breach in Alberta. Government staffers were almost certainly aware of it. Jason Kenney is taking legal action for being put at risk. And Rick Bell is writing about…bike lanes. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

A group of more than 40 prominent scholars in Alberta are calling for a public inquiry into the voter list scandal. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/07/o...

Living next door to a Mexican grocery store has some of my favorite perks. Today’s is fresh homemade 14 inch tortillas for burritos tonight.

Bono famously said of the song Helter Skelter, "This is a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles... we're stealing it back," The Freedom Convoy stole the Canadian flag, and with a giant thanks to @lukaszukab.bsky.social and #ForeverCanadian they stole it back.

Now I know the number! 301,620 copies of Animal Farm. #ABPOLI #ABLEG

It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.

Danielle Smith wants to limit immigration in #Alberta and reduce provincial services for health care and education. Then in the next statement the premier wants oil production to hit 6 million barrels per day by 2030. I don’t see these two strategies intersecting. #ABPOLI #CDNPOLI

Can’t wait! GO CANADA! ❤️🇨🇦💪🔥

Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona,( for today, Milan) where we lay our scene,From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. #MilanoCortina2026 #USACanada #HockeyCanada #USAHockey #GoldMedalGame #WomensHockey
