Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Danielle Smith's separatism games are coming at a dangerous moment Alberta's premier loves to talk about standing up for her province. Will she ever show the same enthusiasm when it comes to Canada?

Danielle Smith's willingness to cater to Alberta separatists was always a dangerous game.

Now, in the wake of America's attack on Venezuela and its covetous advances on Greenland, she's effectively risking Canada's future in order to save her own. #cdnpoli

Amount of blood US has expended defending Greenland: zero. Amount of blood Denmark has expended defending the US: 43 Danish soldiers gave their lives in Afghanistan, responding to a US appeal under article 5 of NATO. Ogles has no idea about any of this, because he's an incompetent buffoon.

USA SPREADS HATE ON RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL CRIMES
USA SPREADS HATE ON RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL CRIMES YouTube video by Charlie Angus

The US regime is attempting to turn the crimes of the residential schools into a battleground for misinformation and hate. The United States government is not an ally and they cannot be trusted with anything.
We must stop the hate from spreading.
My latest.

Farmers are celebrating the bailout as β€œChristmas coming early.” Meanwhile, many of the same voices insisted students didn’t deserve loan relief because they should β€œpull themselves up by their bootstraps.”

Danielle Smith is "Ungoverning" Alberta And trying to break the very idea of Canada

If you read nothing else I write, read this.

Canadians outside Alberta, pay particular attention. If Smith succeeds, she will infect other provinces with "ungoverning."

This is literally NONSENSE. Absolutely nonsensical!

Reminder: the Premier has NO medical expertise whatsoever, and seems to be getting horrendous advice (if she isn’t intentionally trying to mislead here)

Let’s delve into a couple of points:

Alberta’s Smith says courts should not be gatekeepers on constitutional questions Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says those seeking an independence referendum should not have β€œgatekeepers,” like the courts, standing in their way.

The things judges tend to like are the ones that are constitutional.

Perhaps the problem for the premier is is less about judges' opinions and more that she thinks being elected should give her carte blanche and that's (at least currently) not how this works.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

With Smith deploying the notwithstanding clause on one front & setting up more…

We asked @duanebratt.bsky.social at our live show for his assessment & whether or not Alberta is becoming more and more authoritarian.

His answer should be required for all Albertans!

I’m seeing a number of School Trustee candidates avoid direct questions about any links they have to Take Back Alberta by stating they don’t know who they are

Even if I take the answer as honest & not obfuscation, I can’t vote for someone who is that oblivious to threats to education in Alberta.

Canada needs a real digital sovereignty strategyβ€”not half measures Digital sovereignty is not an abstract debate. It is about control over our economy, our democracy, and our future prosperity.

The adage "information is power" has never been truer

Disinfo has compromised liberal democracies. The CPC are counting on it to ride scientifically dubious "hot button"β€”read: manufacturedβ€”issues, just as Trump did

Either we regain control over our info ecosystem or Canada too will fall #CdnPoli

So...

Can we talk about the fact that the Alberta Government has apparently banned COVID-vaccines for kids 12 and under?

(Unless they have a serious health condition)

This is in direct contradiction with the NACI guidelines.

Israel Is in Talks to Send Gazans to South Sudan, Officials Say

Mass deportation of Palestinians from Gaza to South Sudan is ethnic cleansing, a war crime.

Now it is abundantly clear that Danielle Smith is on the side of the separatists. Today, Premier Smith and Minister Amery instructed Alberta’s lawyers to oppose Elections Alberta reference of the separatist ballot to the Court.

All Smith has done has tipped the scales in favour of the separatists. First, lowering the threshold for a referendum, while forcing Forever Canadian to sign up almost double of signatories. Now, she’s supporting them in Court at taxpayers expense.

Forever Canadian lawyers and I will be in Court tomorrow morning to fight for the integrity of the independence of Elections Alberta and the integrity of our process.
