With Donald Trump once again threatening Canada’s independence today, the last thing we need is the new leader of the BC Conservatives auditioning to be a MAGA regional manager here in British Columbia.

[Israel] is the only nation you're not allowed to criticize. Something's gonna change, because evil empires don't last forever."

Old ass gamer here, I’ve hit a wall on what I’ve been playing. Loved #elderscrollsonline for years but friends left and has been hard to keep playing. Valheim has gotten monotonous, I not great at Elden ring. Any suggestions for new games? #gamers#gamingcommunity#pcgaming

If it wasn’t clear before; Trump is openly working with the Alberta Separatists.
Kick his seditionist loving ambassador out of our country.
Now.
Seems a good week to post this again…
"There are times, young fellah, when every one of us must make a stand for human right and justice, or you never feel clean again." - Lord John Roxton in The Lost World (1912) by Arthur Conan Doyle. Illustration by Harry Rountree.
If you knew someone that pleaded the 5th 97 times in court, had 34 felonies, 91 criminal charges, 28 sexual assault allegations, 6 bankruptcies, 5 draft deferments, 4 indictments, and a fake university and charity shut down for fraud, why the FUCK would you make him PRESIDENT????
@susiecubed@abastrophile@LukaszukAB@JasonOnTheDrums Here's a question for you, if you would please?
If DL doesn't expire for few years, is it all good?
Is there anywhere to find this information in full?
Thank you.

I have had an interesting exchange with @duncancameron that probably deserves a separate conversation rather than being buried under a thread about equalization and Alberta grievances.
My original point was narrower: “equalization” is often used lazily in Alberta politics, both by those who treat it as proof that Alberta is being robbed and by those who treat technical corrections about the program as though they answer the broader grievance. I argued that the better frame is net federal fiscal balance, reciprocity, and whether a province that contributes heavily through a particular regional economy can reasonably expect the federation not to constrain the conditions under which that economy reaches markets.
Duncan is pushing from a different direction. His argument, as I understand it, is that Alberta’s grievances cannot be separated from the larger history of Canadian political economy: the building of modern Canada under Pearson, the constitutional and institutional changes under Trudeau, the tax and trade shifts under Mulroney, the fiscal restructuring under Chrétien and Martin, and the broader neoliberal turn toward austerity, deregulation, privatization, and continental integration.
That is a serious argument, even though I come at it from a different political temperament. I am not a social democrat. My instincts are more classically liberal, though in practice I am Burkean enough to think institutions, inherited arrangements, social trust, and implementation realities matter more than abstract purity. I am skeptical of top-down technocracy, but I am also skeptical of market slogans that pretend complex societies can run on theory alone.
Where I think there may be a useful conversation is in separating three questions that often get collapsed.
First, did the postwar Canadian state build institutions that produced real social and economic goods? I think the answer is obviously yes.
Second, did later neoliberal reforms weaken parts of that settlement in ways that harmed social cohesion, regional trust, and economic security? Again, there is a serious case that they did.
Third, does any of that eliminate Alberta’s specific federalism grievance about fiscal contribution, market access, regulatory burden, and unequal treatment of regional resource economies? I do not think it does.
My view is that Alberta’s internal failures and Ottawa’s federalism failures can both be real. Alberta made choices on royalties, taxation, savings, ownership, and political culture that deserve criticism. At the same time, a national fiscal and regulatory system can still land asymmetrically across regions, especially when one province’s main fiscal engine is both heavily relied upon and politically constrained.
So the question I am interested in is not whether Pearson was better than Mulroney, or whether neoliberalism damaged Canada, or whether Alberta politicians have exploited grievance. The harder question is whether a renewed Canadian federalism can hold together national social citizenship, regional economic autonomy, environmental responsibility, and a fair standard of reciprocity across very different provincial economies.
It is the conversation I think is worth having. Not “Alberta is always right,” not “Ottawa is always wrong,” and not “national programs are illegitimate.” Rather: what would a federal bargain look like that takes Alberta’s grievances seriously without collapsing into separatism, and takes Canadian social solidarity seriously without treating regional resentment as mere ignorance or bad faith?
Will be used to Vote - no doubt! 🚨
Voter ID & laws disproportionately affect younger & older, Indigenous, disabled, rural, and low-income voters. These groups are less likely to have government-issued photo ID, & new requirements can create barriers that depress turnout. 1/2)
I like metaphors.
So here’s an extended one about how the UCP are attacking & undermining our public healthcare system, pushing it to the point of collapse.
The damage is deep, but it can be stopped.
An Alberta NDP government will build our healthcare system back. #ableg
Hey @neudorf_ab anything to say about National Accessibility Week on behalf of the UCP government?
Tell us again why your government killed accessibility legislation your own disability advocate called for?
