Look, I’ve been reading some of these hot takes about Danielle Smith and the whole "separatist fire" narrative, and honestly? It’s a bit rich. People like @kinsellawarren in their ivory towers love to talk about "dangerous rhetoric," but out here in the real world, where we’re actually building things, creating jobs, and trying to keep the lights on, it looks a lot different.

Calling this a "fire" implies something accidental or that Smith is just out there with a match for the fun of it. That’s just not true. If there’s heat, it’s because the federal government has been turning up the temperature on Alberta for years. When you keep squeezing the province that’s supposed to be the engine of the country, don’t act surprised when people start looking for the emergency exit.

And let’s talk about this obsession with labelling everything "radical." Since when is giving people a voice a bad thing? Whether you’re talking about the Alberta Sovereignty Act or simply pushing back on federal overreach, it’s not about burning the house down. It’s about standing up for the people who pay the bills. If you’re a builder, you know that when the foundation is cracked, you fix it; you don’t just pretend the house is fine because you don’t like the sound of the drilling.

The media likes to paint this as some fringe movement, but you talk to everyday folks at the job site or the grocery store, and they’re tired of being ignored. Smith isn’t creating these feelings; she’s just not afraid to acknowledge them. That’s what leadership looks like to a lot of us. It’s not about separation for the sake of it; it’s about making sure Alberta doesn't get left holding the bag while Ottawa keeps moving the goalposts.

At the end of the day, we just want a fair shake. Stop the fear-mongering, stop the condescending lectures from Down East, and start respecting the fact that Albertans are smart enough to decide their own future. That’s the real conversation we should be having.

🇨🇦❄️🛩️ : Conservative MPs cry foul over rumors the Liberal government is shelving the iconic Snowbirds precision flight team.

The Liberals spent millions on gender affirming rice in Vietnam, but Liberals can't fund and maintain one of our most iconic and important national symbols?

Do you care if the snowbirds are grounded indefinitely?

@candace_toma Ok we'll let it go this time...glad you are well!

Checking out the new Rebellion Brewing location in Saskatoon. Great spot, this summer (if it ever arrives) it will be "hopping" here...pun intended.

It was my 27th time testifying in Ottawa yesterday, but my first before the House Affairs Committee. I explained what happened with La Presse, and how my 25-year collaboration with the paper was halted following personal comments I made about how public funding may be influencing editorial decisions across the country. I never once criticized La Presse itself—yet here we are.

In Ottawa, several witnesses, including Peter Menzies, former editor of the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun, expressed similar concerns. Something needs to change. The public is not being properly informed about critical issues affecting agriculture, food security, affordability, and more. No media would report on this today, for obvious reasons.

Very few media outlets examined how counter-tariffs impacted food prices. It took the U.S. Ambassador to Canada—an American—to acknowledge that Canada was in breach of CUSMA, not our own media. Prime Minister Mark Carney eliminated those counter-tariffs shortly afterward. It also took three full days before anyone asked where the $14 billion would come from to fund the grocery benefit program.

Media are not to blame—they are doing their best under tremendous pressure. Public funding for media is not inherently the problem. The issue is that funding private media has become partisan, and that, in my view, makes a significant difference. After 25 years, I can say something has changed—dramatically—and it is not good for our democracy.

One of the coolest initiatives we’ve done at the City of Weyburn is our Youth Council. This week SUMA recognized that work at the Saskatchewan Municipal Awards. Proud of our young leaders and all that they’ve done for our City - and what I believe they’ll do in the future.

Just wanted to apologize to everyone for this storm...Janet took our winter coats and boots downstairs on Saturday. Rookie mistake for someone who's lived here here whole life...

[Keith Comstock @Kcomstock1]

@randydonauer Some of my fondest SUMA memories are of Fred Clipsham evicting me from the city sector meeting...😉😉. Hope it went well!

Do you know if residents can ask to see certain municipal documents? Scroll through the images to determine fact from fiction.

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief.

“Streets of Minneapolis”.

He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday.

Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can

The holidays are officially over...I just ate the last butter tart.

@DwayneMihalicz @broadwaybabyto Me too...exact same questions and attitude - turned out to be a cyst and a bad reaction to an antibiotic.

I keep seeing posts about the “right time” to take down your Christmas tree & decorations.

There is no right time. Do whatever the hell you want.
