@WSJ has a great begins the scenes look at the scramble among Canadian and European leaders to prepare for the worst.

Canada 🇨🇦 is under threat.

@ABDanielleSmith What’s wrong with this picture?

If you credit him with paying off debt, you also have to credit him with stealing wealth & healthcare from future generations.

His 'legacy' includes firing 1000s of HCWs, closing dozens of hospitals/clinics around AB, and pillaging billions from the Heritage Trust Fund. #ableg

Twenty years ago, the great Ralph Klein left office after leaving a remarkable legacy as Premier of Alberta.

Ralph believed in hard work, fiscal responsibility, low taxes, and trusting Albertans to build our province. He eliminated Alberta’s debt and helped create the Alberta Advantage that attracted people, jobs, and investment from across the country.

It was an honour to join the Banff Kananaskis UCP Stampede BBQ celebrating his legacy and the principles that continue to guide our province today.

Thank you to all of our volunteers and everyone who worked so hard to make this event possible.

@MikePMoffatt @JeremyAppel1025 I honestly don't know, is it more after adjusting for inflation?

All I know is that our healthcare system has a lot fewer beds per capita than most other provinces in Canada.

If Alberta is the "economic engine of Canada", we should be leading the pack, not trailing the others.

@JeremyAppel1025 @MikePMoffatt Alberta has under-invested in healthcare for decades. We're below the Canadian average, and far below the European average.

Read this very informative thread about how health care spending hasn't kept up with population growth:

TL;DR: Alberta would need 11 hospitals in Edmonton and Calgary to be resourced to the Canadian average.

For the past year, MAGA has been screaming “Europoor” like a cheap car alarm going off at three in the morning. Nobody asked for it, nobody knows how to turn it off.

But then along comes this chart.
America sits at number four in average wealth. Except “average” is the statistic billionaires hide behind. Put Elon Musk in a room with 500 broke MAGA guys, and on average, everyone in that room is a multibillionaire. That’s the trick!

Now look at the median. The actual middle American, the real one with the pickup truck, the missing teeth and the medical debt. Fourteenth place. Behind Belgium. Behind Italy. Behind Spain. And the ordinary European? The man MAGA calls a Europoor pays $9 for his insulin, glances over at the American paying $900 for the exact same vial, shrugs, and goes back to being more than twice as wealthy. He’d feel sorry for you, but honestly, he’s too busy being on vacation.

And that gap between fourth and fourteenth? That’s not a statistical quirk. That’s the entire scam laid bare. America’s wealth exists. It’s just not yours. It belongs to about eleven people in Palo Alto, and you’ve been guarding it for them for free, like an unpaid nightclub bouncer, shouting at Europeans on the internet while the owners drink champagne inside.

American exceptionalism. No other nation on Earth has ever been this successfully convinced to cheer for its own fleecing.

So by all means, keep shouting Europoor. We’ll be over here with our healthcare, our six weeks of vacation, and our double-your-median wealth, trying very hard to hear you over the sound of how sorry we feel.

- start a trade war
- attack Canada with tariffs
- say you dont need Canada for anything
- declare an emergency because you tariffed 🇨🇦 fertilizer
- declare an investigation because US liquor companies are tanking

You started this, end it anytime by removing your illegal tariffs

[Mike Angelle ⬛⬜⬛⬜⬛⬜ @trainofangels00]

The arrival of the first Chinese electric vehicles in Canada has exposed a glaring double standard in American trade policy.

While Washington tries to play a national security card—banning these vehicles over the border and fearmongering that minor civilian cars contain "spyware"—their claims look like complete, debunked garbage.

The hypocrisy is UNDENIABLE when looking at America's own defense systems.

Seriously....the U.S. military heavily relies on Chinese technology, materials, and parts.

For example, advanced F-35 stealth fighter jets contain specialized digitized magnets made with a Chinese alloy, and their radar and control systems depend ENTIRELY on Chinese-refined rare earth elements like gallium and samarium.

Deep tech and components from China are heavily embedded across 1,900 American weapon systems, including Arleigh Burke destroyers and surveillance frameworks. LOL

So, blocking a very soon budget-friendly commuter car under the guise of 'security' is just a lame excuse to use trade as leverage and protect local automakers from free-market competition.

As time goes on, Canadian demand for affordable transportation will dictate massive market growth.

How can the U.S. legitimately claim that a basic Chinese car is an unmanageable security threat to their nation, when Canada has just caught them building their most elite weapons and surveillance systems using the exact same Chinese technology?

Just a question.

I doubt we'll get any answers.

When Poilievre was a cabinet minister in a majority government, defence was gutted to under 1% GDP. The lowest in CDN history. They also went to court to argue the govt had no moral obligation to care for veterans. They closed 9 veteran care centres. PP is doing Hegseth cosplay.

@AlwaysAlberta @MimiProbably If Alberta wanted to meet the Canadian average of health infrastructure, we would need 11 more hospitals than we have today. We're even farther behind the OECD average.

Read this great thread all about the lacknof funding:

What if we first experimented with the model of adequately funding public health care?
