They are asking for rice.

I just can’t.

@DanielTyrie Our house is on fire and we're arguing about what colour we should paint the living room.

@FortySacks I'm a Last Best West Canadian.

@HoCStaffer I find that completely reasonable.

[Jason James @jasonjamesbnn]

Nobody in Canada is rooting against Canada. There's just a lot of people who refuse to ignore our rapid decline and are desperate to save themselves from the inevitable crash.

Being a patriot doesn't mean following your government blindly into the abyss. It means having the courage to fight when your livelihood- and by extension your nation- is threatened.

This isn't about Trump or the incredibly stupid America/Canada rivalry cooked up by Liberals and legacy media, it's about the well being of 40 million people and the children who will inherit this mess.

The only people comfortable with our slow, controlled demolition are the people who stand to gain from it and the people who are so possessed by ideology they'd rather set it on fire than see their perceived enemies live happily.

Canadian Liberals have become so hateful and so psychopathic in their devotion to a death cult they're intentionally speeding us toward a cliff just so they can watch everyone fall- even if it means falling themselves.

I'm not a Conservative. Never have been, never will be. But you will never, ever find me slitting my wrists with Liberals and holding my elbows up.

@Martyupnorth_2 @CoryBMorgan I have zero clue who this guy is, but he give off manic vibes.

The only acceptable response to a guy like this is "are you okay bud?"

[Stephen James @RebuildItRight]

@miketmcmullen We can agree on that.

There are many conflicts of interests that we should shed light on and pillory him for. I'll be right beside you with the ripest tomato I can find.

But spreading falsehoods like this only weakens the existing and factual points against him.

@jkenney Of my certificates received (one of which signed by yourself) congratulating me on my "retirement" was, in fact, my choice to leave the CAF before they could dishonorably discharge me over a personal medical choice.
I forfeit my oath when I became a 2nd class citizen.

@Martyupnorth_2 I've driven that stretch of road more times than I care to count. You either stop in Valleyview or hold it together until you get to the pull out across Smokey River.

Being an Albertan means identifying with the people, culture, and spirit of our province. We live in a place known for its rugged individualism, resource-driven economy, and vast landscapes. It’s a sense of belonging shaped by a mix of historical grit, economic booms & bust cycles, and a fierce pride in standing apart....geographically and often politically...from the rest of Canada.

At its core, being Albertan ties us to the province’s cowboy heritage, rooted in ranching and the Calgary Stampede, still "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth". It’s a nod to a self-reliant mindset...think wide-open prairies, oil patch workers, and mountain towns where people tackle harsh winters and tough odds.

Our economy, heavily tied to oil & gas, breeds a pragmatic streak. Albertans are used to riding the highs of energy wealth and the lows of global market slumps. Despite the attacks from te east, In 2024, oil production hit a record 4.0 million barrels per day. Federal policies, like carbon taxes or pipeline delays, have slowed us down, but we persist.

Politically, it’s a place that leans hard into conservatism, often at odds with Ottawa’s more progressive bent. Albertans have a reputation for distrusting centralized control, manifested in things like our hatred of equalization payments that see our wealth redistributed to other provinces. In 2024, the province sent $21 billion more to federal coffers than it got back, fueling a lingering sense of being taken for granted.

Culturally, it’s a mash-up: Indigenous roots, Ukrainian settlers who brought pierogies to the plains, and a growing urban edge in our big cities. You’re Albertan if you’ve got a soft spot for hockey, a tolerance for chinook winds that swing the thermometer 20 degrees in a day, and a habit of measuring distances in hours. It’s also a quiet defiance, such as a farmer fixing his own gear, a roughneck betting on the next boom, or a city dweller mocking eastern "Laurentian elites"

Albertans are both fiercely Canadian and totally fed up with Canada. We live in a land of opportunity, and we just want to be left alone. Being Albertan is an attitude.
