Seems a good time to repost this. The #AlbertaIndependence movement, at its heart, isn’t motivated by equalization policies, Senate seats, carbon taxes or oil. These tired complaints may ride shotgun on independence, but bigotry drives the truck. https://t.co/utQHHAW193

Do the doors lock from the outside?

Jay Leno, Stephen A. Smith, and Louis C.K. will lead the celebration as Bill Maher accepts the Mark Twain Prize at the Kennedy Center on June 28th, with Woody Harrelson, John Mellencamp, and Whitney Cummings also appearing.

The ceremony will be filmed for a Netflix special.

@globeandmail Why is the owner of Canada's largest book chain supporting soldiers in a genocidal foreign army?

[Marcello Di Cintio @DiCintio]

@ronsterd89 Any place in the United States.

@muhammadshehad2 Yes. Further, Palestinians would also object, and resist, if a Christian or Muslim state was built on their stolen land.

And yet, the Indonesian noodle vendor is still a better spokesperson for the independence movement than Jeff Rath.

@scottsearle Thank you so much. I agree that all Canadians should read it. (Or at least buy it.)

Thought I was being a cool parent letting my teenage boy design a shirt for our petting farm. All it had to say was "please don't touch the wildlife". Before I show you, be warned that the little menace sold over 500 of them. This is what he came up with:

As to the idea that I misrepresented Mitch's comments on citizenship specifically, here is the full quote, in context:

[Marcello Di Cintio @DiCintio]

@richardwarnica It's so revealing that when #Alberta separatists are confronted by the batshit claims their leaders make, they don't try to defend or explain them. They simply bleat "fake news."

These people aren't just bigots and suckers. They're also lazy.

[Richard Warnica @richardwarnica]

On the point in question here, this is what Mitch said, at an independence town hall in Mossleigh in February: "In our Constitution, it says that you're going to have to be born in Alberta to become a citizen. So we're going to have to get those girls making more babies."

[Marcello Di Cintio @DiCintio]

@RickBellwrites My god, you’re embarrassing.

[Marcello Di Cintio @DiCintio]

@Martyupnorth Mitch Sylvestre said only people born in Alberta would be citizens. That leaves you out. You wouldn’t even be able to vote in the country you’re trying to establish. This is hilarious.

@dckurek @MarkJCarney Albertans in your riding voted for you to represent them, but you dumped them to make way for someone whose own riding wanted him gone. So don’t tell us what Albertans did or didn’t vote for. The 400K of us who signed the Forever Canadian wanted a policy proposal, not this.

@CSmartarsery @CourtEllingson @RajanJSaw @jodi_stonehouse @nenshi I can't imagine why the chiefs wouldn't want to meet with a sporting goods salesman who believes the King is trying to kill him and that the federal government is selling organs harvested from medically assisted deaths.

“I feel duped,” Sylvestre said, minutes after the Premier finished her television address. "This reminds me of the time I sent money to that nice former Nigerian prince who sent me an email. And the time I bought those boner pills - also from an email." https://t.co/eK3ugR9S3D

@nut_meggy Good. Considering the “literacy” demonstrated on their social media posts, this doesn’t bode well for the separatists.
