BREAKING: The probability that a Canadian province will schedule a referendum to leave Canada by the end of the year continues to rise, as the independence movement in Alberta gains momentum.
If you can’t at least grasp what drives the separatist movement in Alberta, I am sorry your news sources did that to you.
You have been trapped in a Liberal/NDP news bubble far too long.
For a decade stupid and naïve Liberal leaders aggressively and often illegally hammered Alberta and Canada’s most profitable and prosperity-bringing industry, while still grabbing with greedy hands all they could take from the province in taxes in order to buy votes in big Lib cities.
Disgusting behaviour.
Do you hear about it on your news feed? Or do they just blame everything on Trump?
@RobertGKepes@MVdlJCardinal@Martyupnorth Move here? Yes. “Fit right in?” No.
Ever live in Alberta Robert? Let me guess; “I have friends & family there.” “I’ve visited many times”. Perhaps “I lived in downtown Edmonton for a year.”? One must live here & experience Alberta, over decades, to have an informed opinion.
@CoryBMorgan I’m actually surprised the market didn’t panic. We’re both old enough to remember when the rig count going down by two or three meant a drop of a couple dollars per barrel. Market fundamentals win the day for once.
This is unacceptable.
Despite the opposition of police associations, taxpayer advocates, and logic itself, the Liberals are proceeding with their $750 million boondoggle of a “buyback.”
Instead of getting tough on real criminals, Carney is foolishly intent on criminalizing law-abiding firearm owners.
A minister who can’t tell you what Canada’s firearms classifications are and doesn’t even know what a firearm license is has no business taking away law abiding gun owners’ property. Just scrap this absurd confiscation altogether, Liberals. https://t.co/ANiIQNopY4
WATCH: Political columnist @SunLorneGunter explains why, as a non-gun owner, he still supports the 🇨🇦 right to lawfully own and use firearms. “I don't trust any government that doesn't trust my law-abiding neighbours, to own guns if they want to.” https://t.co/zDuJnc8Vvc #cdnpoli
I wonder how the Elbows Up losers - who called @ABDanielleSmith a traitor for refusing to cut off oil to the United States - feel now knowing their boy Carney canceled the retaliatory tariffs quietly weeks ago and lied by omission about it.

Yes, really. This wasn’t counter-terrorism—it was political policing. Courtesy of @mindingottawa
🧵A thread you won’t believe:
@Martyupnorth_2 The path to separation is through the UCP. We don’t need multiple separation parties, infighting, grifters & vote splitting. Danielle has navigated the issue of separation extremely well so far, let her cook.
@DavidStaplesYEG Now? 30%. If the movement is handled correctly & a referendum happens at the right time, just over 50% isn’t out of the question. Separation must be branded as bipartisan. It has to be sold as beneficial to all Albertans…which it is.
Eastern Canada, so you think Alberta’s oil patch workers owe you some of their paycheque for equalization payments? Watch my son in law work in the oil patch. Not willing to work like this? He owes you nothing. He’s now top of his class at UofA in engineering. Trust me when I say, if the prairies leave confederation, we’ll be fine.
🧵THREAD: Alberta just made a referendum on separation realistic—and they did it the day after Mark Carney became Prime Minister. Here's what you need to know:
