Never has this concept been more mainstream, more utterly normalized in people’s minds everywhere. We really don’t have to keep doing things like this any longer. They’ll make a lot of noise but #Petrostates face an inevitable demise. Long Live the #Electrostate!

The Alberta government has removed Cause of Death statistics for the entire year 2024 from its dashboard.

Fortunately, I reported on this in January, before the data were removed: drugdatadecoded.ca/up-to-89-per...

The government hadn't yet reported 2025. The latest year available is now 2023. 1/

Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.

"That suggests that Alberta’s fiscal and revenue structure could have much to do with the shortfall. But how would one shape a referendum around that?"

It's called an election.
