@johnwtomkinson Why keep using the term "Albertans" to describe only separatists?

Do you not realize that opponents of your movement are ALSO Albertans, are ALSO unafraid of hard work, and ALSO believe in "freedom" (and believe they already have it, as they are ALSO Canadian)?

It is only a few days after the ceasefire, not years, not distance, not something softened by time, and my body has not yet learned the difference between then and now.

There is a wooden dining table in my home, brown legs, a white surface, an ordinary piece of furniture that belongs to ordinary life, but during one of the most intense bombardments it became something else entirely, it became my shelter, I went under it without thinking, as if the body sometimes knows before the mind can decide, I gathered myself under it, I gathered myself to become smaller, I tried to become smaller than fear, smaller than sound, I tried to hide under it in front of the deafening roar of fighter jets and bunker-busting bombs.

Now I am passing by it in a quiet room, and for no one else is there anything dangerous about it, it is still just a table, but my spine recognizes it before I do, a sudden tightening runs through my body, sharp and immediate, as if the ground has remembered something I have not yet put into words.

My body does not understand that the ceasefire has happened, it understands patterns, not announcements.
So when I pass by the table, something in me returns there for a fraction of a second, the low space beneath it, the pressure of survival, the impossibility of knowing whether the next sound would be the last sound before everything changed.

And then I am back in the present, in a room that is no longer under fire, but my nervous system arrives later than reality, it remains where it once had to be precise in order to survive.

The house is safe, but safety is not yet a fact for my body, it is something it has not relearned.

Imagine if a few days after discovering the slaughter of Auschwitz a dodgy businessman associated with the son-in-law of the US President addressed a meeting convened by the President to discuss building a pleasure resort on top of Auschwitz. That’s how repulsive & amoral this latest Trump money-making con is!

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Just curious, is there ANYTHING that an ICE agent can do that Republicans will condemn as wrong? Anything at all? Or is it just automatically defend ICE no matter what now? That’s who you are?

I have to admit I didn't have the Conservative Party of Canada cheering on the destruction of Canada's oil industry on my 2026 bingo card.

Sadness arrives uninvited, spreading easily like winter frost across glass. Joy demands more—it requires us to search, to kindle, to protect the flame against every wind that would snuff it out. Yet this harder path, this deliberate choice to seek light in the dark, becomes the foundation of not just our own flourishing but the very fabric that holds our communities together. When we choose joy despite everything that argues against it, we don't just save ourselves—we illuminate the way for everyone around us.

Now do Calgary! What percentage of provincial taxes paid by Calgarians is redistributed to other Albertans?

[Cory Nelson @coryn70]

@RiseOfAlberta About 65% of federal taxes paid by albertans ends up being redistributed to other canadians. For comparison, less than 5% of federal taxes paid by ontarions ends up being sent to other canadians.

Not long ago, a bill tried to ban floor crossings.

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner delivered a blunt, clear-eyed case for why that’s a terrible idea — and why she and her colleagues voted it down.

[Andrew Han @andhan04]

@JasonPYYC If anything good can come out of this stoppage it is precisely that awareness of how much our public tax dollars are siphoned off to private schools who all happen to have UCP connections. I believe a reckoning is coming.

[Unbranded @Unbranded63]

Write about them without credentials. It's this weird fear of losing access that makes stories about this administration so tepid. Use whistlblowers, informants, and unnamed sources.

I was born & raised in Alberta. My family has been here for generations. I want to say something that some Albertans may not like or understand:
We've never been hard done by or treated unfairly by the rest of the country. If you believe we have it's because you've been played.
