Albertan Who's Tired

Married to my first wife, father of three & never been un-employed a day in my life. I love the spirit of Alberta where work is not only rewarded but respected.

@cozy3335 Unfortunately the declaration of “war” against the USA is not funny for millions of Canadians. This won’t end well for the everyday citizen, Carney will be fine though so “elbows up” at our expense.

I wonder how long it will be before ICE shows up on the doorstep of a few Carneys living in the USA?

[Albertan Who's Tired @TiredAlbertan]

@myabradshaw78 Hmm, I wonder when he will put his foot down and order his family back to Canada?

[Albertan Who's Tired @TiredAlbertan]

@yegwave Dear Mr Carney, I believe that somehow Canadians have been vastly overpaying for taxes related to Carbon emissions, solar panels and windmills. Please reverse the trend immediately and refund the citizens appropriately. The weather sucks and Liberal taxes can’t fix it.

This is the clip they didn’t want going viral the first time…

Watch this and tell me I wasn’t right.

Hmm, I think that should read: “60% of Canadians get their data and economic forecasts from Liberal Party press releases.”

An Open Letter To Canada's Elusive Crisis Fixer
(Gone fixing crises. Please leave a message after the memorandum of understanding.)

DEAR PRIME MINISTER CARNEY,

As Parliament rises for the summer, Canadians would like to wish you a restful vacation, not that you've exactly been overworked, judging by your Question Period appearances.

In fairness, attendance has always been a flexible concept for some people:

There are deadbeat parents who only show up for Christmas.

There are employees who call in sick so often their co-workers assume they've joined witness protection.

There are teenagers whose parents only know they're alive because the refrigerator keeps emptying itself.

And then there's you! Canada's self-described "crisis fixer," who seems to regard Question Period the way vampires regard direct sunlight.

You may recall telling Canadians during the election that they would only see you in a crisis because crisis management is what you're best at.

Which presents an interesting puzzle.

Either Canada isn't actually facing a crisis... Or our "crisis fixer" has remarkably oversold his credentials and purpose. Anything for a vote, eh?

The opposition has certainly noticed. Canadians have noticed. The Speaker could probably place your seat under a heritage designation at this point. It's been occupied so infrequently it may qualify as a protected landmark!

Perhaps we're being unfair. Being a crisis fixer must be exhausting work.

There are international conferences to attend, sporting events to be photographed at, VIP receptions to mingle through, catered aircraft meals to bravely endure at taxpayer expense. And lets not forget there's always another memorandum of understanding to sign.
And another.
And another.

Canadians have now become quite familiar with the modern diplomatic achievement known as the MOU.

The MOU is a fascinating document.

It looks important, and it sounds important. The media reports it as important. Then six months later everyone discovers it produced approximately the same economic impact as writing your intentions on the backside of a stripper-gram. But at least frequent-flyer points were accumulated, am I right!? Gotta love those points! Maybe you can cash them in for some debt relief or houses?

Question Period, by contrast, is much less enjoyable for you, I imagine.

There are no photo opportunities. No standing ovations by adoring globalists and their acolytes, and no carefully screened audiences. Just opposition MPs asking direct questions about government decisions. None of which seem to be answerable by you or your caucus.

One can understand why a so-called crisis fixer might find that environment somewhat uncomfortable, what with all those larping seals in the government benches slapping their hands together in obligatory applause for their leader.

The House of Commons is where Prime Ministers are supposed to answer to the people paying the bills. It's the democratic tradition whereby taxpayers who can't afford groceries get a brief opportunity to question the fellow enjoying Normandy Butter Tarts and a side of crème brûlée somewhere over the North Atlantic in pursuit of yet another memorandum of understanding but no actual deal.

After all, fixing a crisis is one thing. Explaining yourself to the people paying the bills is quite another. The irony is difficult to miss:

• A Prime Minister who campaigned on competence.
• A Prime Minister who promised seriousness.
• A Prime Minister who assured Canadians that when a crisis emerged, he would be there.

Yet somehow, whenever Question Period arrives, a time to explain to the nation how you're catalyzing your inner crisis-fixer skillset to solve ruptures in this most dangerous and divided time, the crisis fixer becomes Canada's most difficult public official to locate. We stand a better chance of hunting down Sasquatch and caging him in a zoo.

If this attendance record belonged to a student, parents would be receiving phone calls. If it belonged to an employee, HR would be filing an ROE for job abandonment. If it belonged to a soldier, people might begin asking whether AWOL paperwork was filled out yet.

Instead, Canadians are simply told not to notice.

To be fair, perhaps the Prime Minister genuinely needs the summer break. The burden of attending sporting events, international summits, receptions, state dinners, investment forums, climate conferences and carefully staged photo opportunities with other people's children, but never your own, can take a toll. Especially while holding those elbows up all the time. You must be downright exhausted.

The occasional appearance in the House of Commons might have pushed the workload into dangerous territory for a man of your age and soft hands.

So enjoy the summer, Prime Minister.

Relax.
Recharge.
Sample the cuisine.
Collect a few more photographs.
Sign a few more memorandums.
Announce a few more frameworks.
Launch a few more initiatives.
Perhaps even fix a crisis or two, should any appear.

And when Parliament returns in the fall, Canadians hold out a faint but persistent hope.

Not that the economy will suddenly improve. Not that productivity will magically recover. Not that housing will become affordable.

Just that Canada's crisis fixer might occasionally appear in the place where Prime Ministers are expected to answer questions from the people they govern.

Because if you're only visible during a crisis...
And we never see you...
Canadians are left with only two possible conclusions.

Either there was never a crisis.
Or the crisis fixer never arrived.

As always, yours in the radical belief that elected officials should occasionally be observed performing elected-official activities. Until the next confirmed sighting,

Melanie in Saskatchewan

JUST THE FACTS:

Alberta has 48 First Nations receiving extraordinary levels of support.

Participating bands have taken in over $2 billion from the FNDF since 2006 alone, backed by part of 24-30billion annually more in federal transfers for governance, education, health, and housing, plus tax exemptions on reserve income and purchases, Non-Insured Health Benefits, and dedicated schooling and housing programs.

With resources of this scale flowing through band councils, these communities should be among the most prosperous and well-served in the entire province.

With modern housing without crowding, strong educational outcomes, solid employment, and real economic opportunity.

Instead, the results are a damning indictment of failure.

On-reserve housing remains badly overcrowded for over a third of residents.

Poverty and low-income rates stay dramatically higher than the provincial average.

Employment and median incomes for on-reserve Status First Nations lag significantly behind off-reserve Indigenous people and other Albertans.

The Community Well-Being gap has narrowed only modestly despite federal Indigenous spending nearly tripling in a decade.

This is not acceptable.

After decades of escalating transfers and special benefits, the persistent shortfalls point directly to poor governance, lack of accountability, and broken incentives at the band council level.

Chiefs and councils have too often failed to convert public money into tangible progress for their people.

Independent audits are essential, not optional.

The status quo has failed the very communities it claims to serve.

These Chiefs need to be Audited

@MarkJCarney How’s that tanker ban working out? We can produce 100million barrels a day but if you refuse to allow transport no company in the world is going to invest in Canada.

[Melanie In Saskatchewan @saskatchewan_in]

"Did they vote for this in the last provincial election? No, they didn't."

That line from @MarkJCarney deserves to be framed and hung on a wall somewhere, preferably over the entrance to the "National Museum of Political Nerve & Hypocrisy."

Because now I have questions.

⁉️ Did Canadians vote for #Carney to pivot Canada toward a more European economic and defence model?
🙅🏼‍♀️ No, they did not.

⁉️ Did they vote for him to start loosening Canada from its most important trading relationship with the United States after campaigning as the only adult in the room who could handle Trump?
🙅🏼‍♀️ No, they did not!

⁉️ Did they vote for new strategic partnerships with China?
🙅🏼‍♀️ No, they did not!

⁉️ Did they vote for a revived industrial carbon pricing regime and carbon markets dressed up as competitiveness?
🙅🏼‍♀️ No, they did not!!

⁉️ Did they vote for "no Pathways, no pipeline" as national energy policy?

🙅🏼‍♀️ NO, THEY DID NOT!

Apparently #democracy only requires itemized voter consent when #Albertans want to ask an #Alberta question.

When #Ottawa changes the direction of the country after election day, they call it leadership.

When citizens want a direct say on the future of their own province, suddenly it is reckless, divisive and dangerous. Does this clown pretending to lead FOR Canadians even hear himself?

People asking people what people think.

Terrifying stuff.

COMMENTARY: Ottawa Should Scrap West Coast Offshore Tanker Ban for Sake of Canada’s Economy – Kenneth Green https://t.co/fax0CFouWA

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

WOW

Yesterday CTV and CBC ran wall to wall coverage claiming Russia and the US were interfering in the Alberta separatist movement.

Today the Globe and Mail reported:

The RCMP deputy commissioner told Alberta’s Public Safety Minister there is NO credible evidence of foreign interference in the Alberta separatist movement.

ZERO.

None

The RCMP’s own words.

The study CTV and CBC cited?

Produced by “DisinfoWatch” and “academic researchers.”

Not CSIS.

Not the RCMP

Not any law enforcement agency

This is the same CTV that called my verified content “Deception Decoded.”

The same CTV taking millions in government subsidies

A study nobody can verify

Cited as fact, to discredit 301,000 Albertans who signed a petition.

This is why people lose trust in MSM.

CTV & CBC are cut from the same cloth.
