I still think they’re just trying to distract from the Epstein files
If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot:
Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus.
It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵
‘All you need is a chair and a view’: could daily ‘dusking’ make us healthier and happier?
someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now
Operation Epstein Fury is the most sophisticated military operation in the history of the United States.

Did you know?
The Provincial government has increased their property taxes on Calgarians by 57% over four years, well above inflation and population growth. They're now imposing the largest property tax increase in Calgary's history with a 21% hike, or about $350 for the typical family.
The Calgary School has been disastrous for Alberta.

Alberta exceptionalism is as big a myth as American exceptionalism.
We have oil. A geographic and geologic lottery. 50 years of government mismanagement has pissed those lottery winnings away.
Now... we'll pay the piper.
annual reminder: Alberta's deficit is a choice.
"The budget will break a law implemented by Premier Danielle Smith’s own government three years ago that aimed to prohibit deficits, except under exceptional circumstances."

Don't let this slide, Calgarians. I'd love someone who is better than me at math to calculate what percentage this will add to property tax bills.
Some councillors would light their hair on fire if the City raised property taxes this much.
Looking forward to the outrage from conservative city councillors on this.
Well at least Danielle Smith and her UCP Government’s $9 billion deficit is less than the estimated $33 billion in renewables investment lost when she put her terrible “pause” and subsequent rules on renewable development in place right? And O&G production and profits are up!

After a record quarter of interprovincial migration into Alberta, Premier Smith decided to spend millions of taxpayer dollars to encourage even more people to move to Alberta.

Whoa @calgary.ca. Eight days ago, a driver struck and killed a toddler in a stroller in a marked crosswalk. The next day, the driver of a tractor trailer hit and killed a senior in a marked crosswalk. Those deaths come after a record 15 pedestrians were killed in 2025.
And this is your message?! 😡😢
That didn't last long...
Is Sam Altman AI?
Please please please. We know it's exhausting. But the animals and the habitat need ALL of our voices! Groups like ours are volunteers.... individuals just like you with finite time. Let's all speak up and unite on these matters together. None of us can do it alone.
Calgary police are looking to the public for help locating a 15-year-old missing from Cornerstone.
Hypothetically, and stay with me here, what if there was a pandemic and an industry, let's say meat packing, employed a large percentage of newcomers, who perhaps live in cramped accommodations, were more susceptible to the pandemic and didn't have access to healthcare... what would happen?
Enough is enough, Premier.
Albertans see right through these distractions.
Cut the bullshit. Call the election.

My latest: because one national unity crisis wasn't enough, Danielle Smith has decided to provoke another one —all, of course, in the name of placating the separatists that run her party.

The UCP has been in power for 51 of the last 55 years but according to Danielle Smith it's the family who arrived six months ago that is wrecking the province.
You know what would be great... if the Alberta business community would actually speak out about Smith's damaging policies and rhetoric.
The ones not on the Alberta Next Panel obviously.

It was only a matter of time before poor budgeting choices and corruption while systematically denying the realities of the economy caused the ruling party of [insert country/state/province here] to place the blame on foreigners.
I'm kind of embarrassed for them, the Alberta budget must be really bad. calgary.citynews.ca/2026/02/19/s...
