Political parties don't award research grants.

But I guess truth is not a liberal/Liberal value.

[Joseph Steinberg @jbsteinberg]

"Rejecting discrimination based on identity"

Based on how the federal Liberal party awards academic research grants, it seems to me that many Liberals love identity-based discrimination.

@debwalt1956 @BCGreens Sorry.. they are polling at 8%. We were polling at 24% in 2016 before the @bcndp ran their hapless vote split campaign without any vision. The @BCGreens under @Emily_Lowan are finished sadly #bcpoli

[Mike Burton @Mikefromregina]

@jengerson @BuffMaclennan I disagree.

I don't think most normals give two shits about caucuses, their feelings or stories about the bubble.

It might appeal to none Liberals who are hyper focused on Ottawa but that's a small group of Canadians that would be stretching to define themselves as normal!

How's that for equity cards folks:

Premier Smith becomes the 1st anglophone, 1st female and 1st person with self described Cherokee roots to initiate a separatist referendum.

The glass ceilings are broken just like she wants to break up Canada.

STATEMENT ON PROVINCIAL ADDRESS

The Premier of Alberta intervened to lower the threshold for getting a separatist question on the ballot. She then intervened to eliminate a review requiring the question be constitutional. She intervenes again tonight after yet another court has told the separatists to slow down and follow the law.

The premier can wrap these actions in the words of democracy, but she is willfully ignoring the will of the vast majority of Albertans who want no part of this separatist conversation.

The simple reality, a reality you would not find in her speech, is this: she has pushed along a question because a group has threatened to bring down her and her party if she does not.

Her internal political problems have become our national crisis.

The Premier asserts her patriotism. I will take her at her word, but I will remind her a patriot puts country ahead of party. A leader steers the agenda, rather than having it blindly dictated to them. An Albertan finds ways to do what’s right, not justifications for doing what’s wrong.

This baffling, referendum-on-a-referendum question will do nothing to settle anything. It adds another layer of confusion. It will divide. It will distract. It will damage.

I hope her government will consider how to step back from this madness before the damage to our province’s social fabric and economy is too great.

What a muddled mess Premier Smith is willing to make out of her province and our country in order to keep her job as UCP leader.

BREAKING:

Premier Smith announces Alberta separation question for October 19th.

[Mike Burton @Mikefromregina]

@supriyadwivedi @CJ_Purnell @JakeLandauTO But in the case of a nomination, the party didn't choose him they just accredited one of the campaign's choices.

Again all his role involves is watching the election take places and documenting any issues for further appeal.

@calgarygrit Big difference on boomers means Quebec sepratists will likely out perform Alberta ones in the near future.

Really interesting stuff as always buddy!

Remember agreements require members/citizens of Indigenous Nations to vote in referendum.

So leaders must ask their communities to extinguish their own rights and title to get an agreement.

It's set up to fail and lead to more and greater uncertainty for longer.

[Mike Burton @Mikefromregina]

Imagine if Indigenous Nations asked the provincial or federal government to extinguish your rights or title in order to get an agreement.

Would anyone support that?

NEW - Federal @CPC_HQ have put a motion on the floor of the House of Commons to explicitly protect private property rights in all future FN agreements, and restore "extinguishment" legal argument in future Aboriginal title court cases, in the wake of the Cowichan decision.
