Your periodic reminder that separatists have been contesting federal & provincial elections in Alberta for 50 years, typically getting 1% to 2% of the vote.
I’ve told separatists for years that Alberta won’t be strengthened by making empty threats to leave.
But here we are in a pointless, deeply divisive debate for months to come. What a shame.
@MichelleLA1981 I voted for PM @MarkJCarney Michelle, and I suspect you don’t actually hate me.
Is he perfect? No.
Is he doing his best for 🇨🇦? Yes, I think so.
Let’s come together as Canadians have in the past, and be the country that the rest of the world has come to admire.
New statement from Scott Pelley:
“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”
@stphnmaher@davidskryp@ikwilson That’s the surprising part. Reasonably smart and accomplished people are blinded by emotion.
Let’s harness that emotion in constructive ways to build on our success as a relatively young nation. 🇨🇦
