@DRodbone I wasn't expecting the same brain damage that is present in the CPC to be present with the liberals over 2 people being in the same photo as each other at an event who hold different views.
Thank you to @USAmbCanada for a lovely 4th of July event celebrating 250 years of American Independence and for your remarks about 159 years of friendship and collaboration with Canada. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hands out Canada flags in his rural Alberta riding, in a room with pro-separatists also in attendance
His message on Canadian unity was well received. No one denied the flag
One local told him to turn up the heat on promoting a united Canada
@RealAlbanianPat NDP in AB.
The hard part is coming to terms with the actual likelihood of this happening.
I saw it coming the second Smith won her first review.
This👇 is word for word the case that I and other Albertans have been making for years.
Fellow Albertans: well done! We have won the argument about the need to expand Canada's energy industry!
Yes, words are necessary but not sufficient. We need to see them turned into real, tangible projects.
But we should celebrate the progress we have made, and take "yes" for an answer.
Great news! Finally, FID on a major data centre in Alberta.
With super cheap natural gas feedstock, plus cold weather and a stable regulatory environment, Alberta is the ideal place to build data centres to power the future digital economy.
A perfect Alberta marriage of natural resources and tech, data centres will allow us to monetize our gas without the cost & time of shipping / LNG.
Over time, the increased demand will mean increased price for our gas, leading to long term demand for job creating upstream exploration & development.
“Whatever you do, adhere to the union. We are a great country, and shall become one of the greatest in the universe if we preserve it.”
(Sir John A Macdonald)
Let us celebrate, unite and build Canada. Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
@lukin2006@UberJumper@TWilsonOttawa -The prime minister is voted in by the party that surrounds him.
-You vote for your MP that represents you, that results in who you get as PM.
The senate may be appointed, but by a person that is elected.
Pretty democratic to me. It is called representative democracy by design.
@NickKouvalis Always where I was at. Loved him as an attack dog, but a leader can't do that (part of Trudeau's downfall). Loved his work on the finance file too.
He was better on that file alone and falls weak on other files, where his arguments fall to talking points that make your eyes roll.
This is Carney's pitch for the west coast pipeline that Alberta will submit on Thursday, and much more. It's very good. Must watch.
"I was a teenager in Edmonton when the National Energy Program was introduced, and I remember how Ottawa made Albertans feel like our resources weren't our own. And then more recently, we were made to feel that our energy contributions were running against the tide of history; what should have brought us together, began to divide us...
Nobody knows how long the global economy will rely on conventional energy, but while it does, as much of that energy as possible should come from Canada."

@lukin2006@UberJumper@TWilsonOttawa People still vote for government.
Would I say it's free and democratic right now? No.
Would I say it's democratic. Yes.
Denying the will of the people when you disagree with it is non democratic. Worth keeping that in mind.

Statement from Mayor Jeromy Farkas
The City of Calgary has issued a new, mutually agreeable amended permit to Penny Lane Entertainment that delivers stronger protections for nearby residents while allowing the Cowboys Music Festival to move forward. This administrative amendment did not require Council approval.
Compared with last year, Penny Lane has agreed to end every live concert (now including weekends) at midnight instead of 1:30 a.m., reduce bass levels, lower overnight sound, and make significant investments in additional sound mitigation measures. There are no changes to the cooldown period times or decibels limits that were previously established on weekends and weeknights. These changes give residents quieter nights while preserving one of Calgary's signature events.
I want to thank Penny Lane Entertainment for working constructively with Administration. They listened to community concerns and agreed to meaningful improvements that better balance a successful festival with the needs of nearby residents. For fairness, these same concert end times will apply to all major music festivals operating under noise exemption permits, including Badlands, which has also agreed to end its events at 1:00 a.m.
Calgary is ready for another incredible Stampede. These improvements help residents get more rest while ensuring visitors continue to enjoy the world-class entertainment that makes our city shine. I look forward to welcoming everyone for ten great days of celebrating the best of Calgary.
City Administration and Bylaw Services will be available to speak to the specific details of the amended permits.
Multiculturalism was a Pierre Trudeau plan to diminish the power and influence of Quebec separatists.
Even then, when we had smaller numbers of immigrants who were proud to be here and become Canadians - while keeping the culture of their home country alive - it wasn't a terrible idea.
Now is different. Now we have millions of immigrants. Majorities in some areas. With zero attachment or affection for Canada beyond the benefits they receive. Some are outright hostile.
That does not build a country. We have 10,000 actual Canadians leaving per month. Multiculturalism as a policy needs to end.
One of the things that stands out in relief after the Prime Minister's decision is why no one acted sooner. It was an abdication of leadership. 24 Sussex was in dire need going back to the 1980s. John Turner was horrified. Authorized $600K of repairs. Mulroney was scared.1/n
