🚨 BREAKING MISINFORMATION
The Toronto Star says Poilievre went on “another US podcast.”
The Diary of a CEO is hosted by Steven Bartlett.
A British entrepreneur.
Based in the UK.
It’s the biggest podcast in EUROPE.
These are the people who think they’re qualified to tell you what’s misinformation.
They can’t even Google where a podcast is from before publishing a headline. 🤣
This is Canadian media in 2026.
Writing hit pieces they didn’t even fact-check.
Hahaha the softest guy in the league @SportsnetSpec A guy who makes a living off asking questions in the rudest possible way blocking people on twitter. Charmin soft Spec.
I've been in Toronto for a while, but I'm still Albertan enough to think I understand what's going on. Let me translate for my fellow easterners.
Remember how you felt when Donald Trump put tariffs on your prestige industries in a manner that seemed unfair and irrational? And rational or not, it hurt your economy and cost you jobs? And how do you feel, knowing that Trump is still vowing to move Canada's car and steel industries to the U.S.?
Remember how you felt that your own political autonomy and sovereignty was being challenged by the proposal to become a 51st state? That it felt like an "indecent proposal"? And even if it was just an empty taunt, it showed disrespect -- like if a stranger made a marriage proposal to someone who was already married?
Well, Ottawa has been doing that to Alberta for generations. And it's been rewarded election after election by Ontario and Quebec voters. If you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can count on the support of Paul.
Donald Trump has an excuse: his job is America First. Nothing else matters. What's Mark Carney's excuse? What's Canada's excuse?
Trump imposed tariffs on us, typically 10% or 25%. Ottawa blocked Alberta and Saskatchewan pipelines, banned tankers, required a "gender analysis" on new industrial projects, imposed a production cap and threatened to "transition" the industry (i.e., shut it down).
That's like a 100% tariff -- it's a veto.
Alberta and Saskatchewan voted for a grand total of three Liberal MPs. But Alberta and Saskatchewan are not the deciders. They're just the people who keep paying the bills for the whole country.
You're about to see something very interesting. In the last Quebec referendum, the entire Canadian establishment sent a message: we love you, please come back, we'll work it out within Canada. Quebec received countless political, economic and constitutional favours -- plus a lot of cash.
You might even say that Quebec separatism has been a sham for decades: it's just a good cop/bad cop way of fleecing Alberta. It's not serious. It's the permanent revolution. It's theatrical. What is more revealing than Bloc Québécois MPs collecting their Parliamentary pensions?
But watch for the opposite towards Alberta. There's a genuine hatred towards Alberta, and Alberta-ness. The only Albertans respected by the CBC are underminers, like Naheed Nenshi and Rachel Notley, who promised to destroy the industry from the inside. Albertans with Alberta-ness are shunned, demonized, mocked, attacked. Look at how the CBC has tried to destroy Danielle Smith. She was the only female premier in Canada for years; normally she'd be a CBC favourite on DEI grounds alone. But she's the "wrong" kind of woman, she's too Albertan, so they hate her and lie about her daily.
But buckle up now. Every national media company, every national corporation, every bank, every NGO, every "community activist" will be deployed to denigrate and smear Albertans who are just tired of Ottawa's war on the west.
Again, if you're from Toronto or Montreal and need help imagining things, picture Trump-style taxes, tariffs, and other economic warfare for 40 years -- going back to the National Energy Program of the 1980s, and even earlier.
All from your own country.
Albertan's aren't even angry. They're just done.
Friendly tip: if you're a politician or journalist using the same language you did with the trucker convoy ("you're racist"; "you're a fringe minority with unacceptable views"; "you're a crackpot"), you're not trying to persuade, you're demonstrating that you hate Alberta, or at least Alberta-ness, too.
It's an interesting Venn diagram: the people who called for a "Team Canada" approach and who promised to end internal trade barriers are the same ones denigrating Albertans who are asking for an end to Ottawa's sanctions. (And what is a pipeline ban, other than a non-tariff barrier?)
The Canadian establishment demonized Trump as a bully, an economic illiterate and an unreliable friend and ally. They are all of those things and worse towards Albertans. At least Trump kept telling Canada he "cherished" us, as he shook us down. Carney, Trudeau, Guilbeault -- they genuinely hate Alberta, and it shows.
BEFORE CANADA’S DICTATOR @JustinTrudeauMP is THROWN OUT OF POWER, THE COLD WEATHER TYRANT WANTS TO INSTALL THE MOST DRACONIAN ANTI-FREE SPEECH LEGISLATION EVER ATTEMPTED IN NORTH AMERICA!👇 https://t.co/Olma1l8254
This resulted in a fine but Darnell Nurse and Nic Hague agreeing to fight in a playoff game with 20 seconds left is a suspension okay @NHLPlayerSafety great call guys
So the federal Port of Vancouver is on strike, blocking billions of dollars of goods, driving up prices & threatening jobs. And the minister responsible is busy showing off his new sneakers. Any wonder why, after 8 years of Trudeau, so many families can’t pay their bills?
Hello, NYC! I'm at the #GlobalCitizen Summit, up on stage and embarrassing my country.
Nevermind the 150,000 PSAC employees on strike, the Canadians stranded in war-torn Sudan, or the 11-million people who can't afford food.
I feel like a celebrity, and that's what counts.
