As long as the sun shines,
the grass grows,
and the rivers flow,
the land in Alberta is ceded.
The treaties are sacred.
This is the promise.
This is the deal.
The Government Chiefs forget that it is part of the deal for the cows & plows, for the annuities, for the education, for the health care, for the housing.
🇨🇦 Tomorrow marks another anniversary of D-Day, and Canada's role in those events deserves far more than a brief mention.
On June 6, 1944, approximately 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed on Juno Beach, overcoming fear, intense enemy fire, and extraordinary pressure to help open the path to the liberation of Europe.
Many of them were barely older than teenagers. Many never made it home.
Their courage, selflessness, and sacrifice became part of the great victory over Nazism and helped lay the foundations of the freedom that millions of people enjoy today.
We remember their bravery. We honor their memory. 🇨🇦🌺

« J’ai 72 ans et je commence à en avoir marre.
On nous accuse presque d’être des privilégiés parce qu’on touche notre retraite. Mais qu’est-ce qu’on a vraiment volé à qui que ce soit ?
On a connu les semaines à 45, 48, parfois 50 heures. On faisait des heures supplémentaires sans même les compter, parce qu’il fallait nourrir la famille. On se levait à 5h, on rentrait parfois cassé, le dos en miettes, les mains abîmées. On ne pleurait pas, on ne faisait pas de burn-out : on tenait bon.
On a élevé nos enfants sans crèche, sans allocations familiales mirobolantes, sans aide de l’État. Juste avec notre salaire et notre courage. Et on en est fiers.
Aujourd’hui, on nous regarde de travers en disant que « les jeunes paient pour nos retraites ». Mais ce n’est pas nous le problème. C’est un système qui a été détourné, mal géré, et qui accueille de plus en plus d’assistés au lieu de récompenser ceux qui travaillent.
Nous, on a construit ce pays. Les routes, les usines, les écoles, les logements. On a bossé dur, souvent dans des conditions que beaucoup ne supporteraient plus aujourd’hui.
Alors oui, notre retraite, on l’a bien méritée. Pas par privilège. Par usure. Par sacrifice. Par devoir accompli.
Un peu de respect pour ceux qui ont donné leur santé et leur jeunesse pour que les générations suivantes aient une vie plus douce. ❤️👴👵»
@ctvedmonton I demand every FN band be audited.
The only ones that would object are the chiefs & their families and anyone else stuffing their pockets.
The FN people themselves deserve a full audit and full transparency.
Hot take: Scrap Question Period.
I know. Hear me out.
Every day, the people we elected to run a G7 nation spend 45 minutes screaming rehearsed one-liners at each other while backbenchers bang their desks like it’s a hockey game.
No answers get given. No policy gets made. No problem gets solved.
The minister reads a non-answer from a cue card. The opposition screams. Repeat 35 times. Camera cuts to someone rolling their eyes. Done.
And we wonder why voter turnout keeps dropping.
Foreign observers watching Question Period for the first time genuinely cannot believe this is how a serious democracy operates. It looks like a school cafeteria fight.
The original purpose was accountability. Ministers answering directly to elected representatives. A check on executive power. Legitimate and necessary.
What it became is theater. Purely for clips. Every question is written to go viral, and every answer is written to avoid saying anything. The actual governance happens somewhere else entirely, behind closed doors, away from cameras.
Countries like Germany, Sweden, and New Zealand have structured interpellation systems where written questions require written answers on the record. Documented. Searchable. Accountable.
You know what that produces? Actual information. Actual accountability. A paper trail.
Canada deserves better than a daily episode of Real Housewives with a peace tower in the background.
To have a FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY !
All laws & penalties should apply equally to all people, no exceptions, for Race, Colour, Religion, Sexual Orientation !
It is actually that simple 🇨🇦
Ever notice how the loudest voices telling Albertans what to do…
Don’t actually live here?
They don’t fill up trucks at -40.
They don’t lose sleep over rising input costs.
They don’t drive past pumpjacks or grain elevators on the way to work.
But they sure seem eager to regulate us from downtown Toronto and federal offices in Ottawa.
That’s why this matters.
it's time we made our own legislation that isn’t polished in two languages and rubber-stamped by someone who’s never been west of Thunder Bay.
It’s time it's written here.
In plain words.
By people who live in Alberta, raise families here, and know what this land actually demands.
We’re done pretending that one-size-fits-all works.
We’re done waiting for permission to solve our own problems.
Not federal.
Not bilingual.
Not sorry.
Because Alberta deserves leadership as real as its people.
