Here's a Conservative MP arguing (possibly inadvertently) against his leader representing a riding in Alberta. He deleted this Tweet shortly after posting.

Hot take: Calgary Confederation is Canada's most interesting riding this election cycle. Star Liberal candidate Corey Hogan is in a neck and neck race with former UCP cabinet minister Jeremy Nixon. This riding has never elected a Liberal.

Opinion: Mark Carney poses a threat to national unity If he remains prime minister after this election, there is a very real possibility that Western Canada will move to secede

Wild claims here from Preston Manning:

"The next prime minister of Canada, if it remains Mark Carney, would then be identified in the history books, tragically and needlessly, as the last prime minister of a united Canada."

ANALYSIS | The U.S. has covertly destabilized nations. With Canada, it's being done in public | CBC News Former senior Canadian intelligence officials sayΒ CanadaΒ needs to be on the lookout for campaigns aimed at destabilizing the country amid U.S. President Donald Trump's escalating 51st state threats.

"The CIA has worked to destabilize many governments in the past, using methods as mundane as corruption and as drastic as assassination, but former spy chiefs say a campaign aimed at Canada would likely rely more on social media β€” such as the Elon Musk-owned X platform."

It is not unusual historically for the U.S. to accuse a country of being undemocratic while trying to exert influence to control their natural resources.

Hey, Calgary reporter pals: The media room at McDougall is mic'd up. We don't have to stand at the mic.

And at pressrs, we don't have to stand at a mic. That just gives govt the power to cut us off.

We can police ourselves. Just scrum like we used to. We can do this. They are not the boss of us.

Question for Canadians: Are you rethinking upcoming travel plans to the US? Does a Trump presidency change your views about travelling south?

Of note: Pierre Poilievre and Danielle Smith explicitly disagree on how to handle the Trump tariff threat.

Poilievre is calling for retaliatory tariffs on the U.S.

Smith:

"Our best approach now would be to focus on diplomacy and refrain from talk of any kind of retaliatory measures," she says.

At a certain point, it doesn't actually matter if Trump is kidding about annexing Canada.

It has been an AMAZING year for Canadian filmmakers. Some movies you should watch over the holidays: Matt and Mara (five star masterpiece), Red Rooms (great movie, terrible vibes), Universal Language (never seen anything like it), Paying for It (wild) and My Old Ass (you will laugh/cry).
