Off with their heads. Metaphorically.

A lot of these separatists are yank wannabes. I suspect if someone were to map pro-separation sentiment to Trump approval in Alberta over time they would find a strong correlation. Well, Trump hasn’t had a great few months since early 2026 when the last poll was done. As goes his popularity, so goes the popularity of separatism.

It seems like the idea is to build a movement that expands beyond protecting tenant’s rights and into political advocacy, including running aligned candidates.

Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

Well don’t worry, this administration has a tried and true solution. If you stop checking for screwworm, it’s not there.

Over the course of several caucus meetings now, Grit MPs report Carney lashing out at certain members when he doesn’t like the message they deliver. They include […] being told not to come to the prime minister with his concerns over the lack of federal response to Alberta’s two-tiered health care Bill 11

Klaxons should be going off in your mind.

The Heritage Department said in a statement on Wednesday that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)'s new requirements would “impose costs” on streamers “which could ultimately fall on Canadian consumers through higher prices.”

“This is not the time to raise the cost for Canadians,” Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters after meeting with his cabinet.

The government also said it is investing $600 million to “provide stability and immediate support to Canada’s audio and audiovisual sectors and to keep our culture accessible and affordable for all Canadians.”

Oh, so instead of reclaiming any profit out of an American company we’ll just shake it out of Canadian pockets instead.

They building this shit in your backyard? Putting this data centre in downtown Vancouver is fucking moronic.

While Willson attended an information seeking session this past April hosted by the Alberta government, he said there was no formal consultation.

“We’re not being brought to the table initially. We should be the first ones anybody talks to,” said Willson.

“They shouldn’t be going to industry and having discussions with the industry and then trying to push something through on us. That’s not what reconciliation is about.”

Hey, the one trick pony is doing its trick. Again.

Of course, the US uses prison labour so if we were to really do our due diligence on this we would have to cut out the US, too. Which they understand. This is an attempt to control who we trade with, ideally (in their view) only them.

That user is one alt of many that is used to spread propaganda here and elsewhere. For who specifically, I don’t know. Someone made a post investigating it here at one point.

Let’s just say Scotty isn’t posting purely for the public interest.

Isn’t this woman a billionaire? Why is she acting like she’s going to pop down to the local vape store to put any advice into action and not tell some servant to go buy her the best vape?

And yet, here is his government choosing to do business with this company despite definitely suffering a political cost for it. And trying to pass it off as a Canadian company in such a brazen way that anyone with a modicum of self-respect should be insulted that they think you are that stupid. He didn’t need to do this, at all. Maybe it’s coincidental, but it doesn’t look good to me.

I think calling placing his investments in a blind trust “divestment” is playing a little fast and loose with the definition. He still owns the stocks, he’s just not allowed to manage them or keep track of them. But we didn’t hit the guy with the amnesia ray, he knows he’s invested in these companies.

Just a reminder that Mark Carney is invested in Palantir according to his summary statement.

I don’t think Trudeau could have whipped up the level of support that Carney did,

Why not? We were being directly attacked economically and having our sovereignty threatened. A dog could have whipped up plenty of support in that context as long as it was painting itself as a nationalist dog. You are way, way overestimating the effect Carney had on the election and vastly underestimating the effect Trump had, in my opinion.

*Before Trump was elected. I think a Trudeau led Liberal party would have had a much weaker showing, but not as weak as the polling referenced here would suggest. The Conservative falloff was mostly a result of the fallout from the new (at the time) Trump administration and the common understanding that the Conservative party is the pro-US party. The Liberals were able to seize the mantle of Canadian nationalism in the face of that disaster. In another world where Trump was not president but Carney still takes over the Liberals, I don’t think we see nearly the same swing. In a world where Trump is president but the Liberals stick with Trudeau, I think the most likely outcome would have been either a weak Con minority or a very weak Liberal minority.

I have no idea whether it’s been studied sufficiently, but the author of the article you shared seems to think it can be effective if that step is taken.

I also can’t say whether the site was studied sufficiently, but the timelines talked about in the article combined with bill C-15 allowing ministers to exempt entities from environmental laws if they are pursuing something deemed as encouraging economic growth pushes me well beyond the point where I’m willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt.

the most optimistic proponents of carbon storage argue that it’s a means of mitigating the effects of heavy industry, not of making a meaningful difference in other ways. But they seem to think those mitigating effects can be important, and maybe even necessary?

Maybe, but unfortunately the reality is that:

nearly all CCS projects in the U.S. are actually enhanced-recovery projects that keep the oil and gas flowing, and every new barrel of oil and cubic foot of gas sold and burned is putting more CO2 into the atmosphere. So not only do these kinds of projects not help, but they perpetuate our use of fossil fuels at a critical moment in history when we need to do the opposite.

Which is also why O&G advocates like Danielle Smith support it.

They don’t accept floor crossers as a policy. He could sit independent and caucus with them, however.
