@Martyupnorth@JeffreyRWRath I was a huge @ABDanielleSmith fan but no mores. I’M SO ANGY she bought into this BS deal! 😡 She is a traitor to the patriot Albertans that voted for her. If you love our province, you need to open your eyes! FFS, wake up people!
As an Albertan I’m FURIOUS about this pipeline being paid by taxpayers -and- that this BS carbon capture is at the root of it! Carbon capture is a scam, and no one’s asking: WHERE do they plan to pump this carbon into the ground? I’m betting ALBERTA 😡
MEMO: @MelanieJoly's dept contemplates "legal action" against users on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook & other social media that it suspects of spreading "misleading information."

Mark Carney is using the pipeline situation as a way to ram through his carbon credit framework, a new "industry" which he and Brookfield have already set the stage to be the main winners of.
Why are Canadians okay with a Prime Minister using his power to get rich and not acting in Canadians' best interest?
Why do we need a carbon credit market which will increase the price of anything it applies to?
Just a few weeks ago, the Smith government was talking about a Northern pipeline route.
Carney just fucking rug-pulled her.
Lucy and the football yet again.
Must be terribly humiliating.
Maybe it's time to stop playing his game?

@FringedCanuck They are a filthy dirty culture, and they come to our country and treat it with utter disrespect. Glad someone called them out publicly for it.
Just so people understand, despite what Lukaszuk has said, it is absolutely NOT allowed for non-Albertans to donate to TPAs.
I wonder if he accepts foreign funding too?

Let Alberta Decide: Pipeline Announcement Shows Canada Still Does Not Work for Alberta
Calgary, Alberta — Let Alberta Decide says the pipeline announcement by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith is not the victory Albertans are being told it is.
Keith Wilson, K.C., co-lead of Let Alberta Decide, said Albertans support pipelines, expanded market access, and getting Alberta resources to tidewater, but not under a system that keeps Ottawa in control while forcing Albertans to carry the cost.
“Albertans want pipelines built, but a pipeline is not a victory if Ottawa makes the product too expensive to produce and leaves taxpayers holding the bill,” said Wilson. “This announcement does not prove Canada works for Alberta. It proves the opposite.”
Wilson said it has taken more than a year of federal-provincial negotiations, political bargaining, B.C. compensation demands, carbon capture conditions, and major taxpayer commitments just to bring Alberta to an uncertain starting point.
“That is not a functioning federation,” Wilson said. “That is a province being forced to ask permission to develop the resources that built this country.”
The Canada-B.C. agreement confirms any new pipeline remains tied to the Pathways carbon capture project and consultation obligations. It also confirms the North Coast tanker ban remains in place, while B.C. continues seeking toll charges or compensation tied to Alberta’s ability to move its own resources through the province.
“Albertans are being asked to celebrate a pipeline that may never be built, to a coast where the tanker ban remains, through a province that says it does not want the project, under conditions that make Alberta less competitive,” Wilson said.
Let Alberta Decide said the announcement does nothing to fix the deeper problem: Ottawa’s regulatory and Net Zero framework has damaged investor confidence, increased costs, and made major resource projects dependent on government intervention instead of private capital.
“A pipeline does not create new barrels,” Wilson said. “Companies invest when production is competitive. If Ottawa’s Net Zero framework makes Alberta oil, gas, and electricity less competitive, this announcement becomes a political talking point, not an economic solution.”
Tanya Clemens, co-lead of Let Alberta Decide, said Alberta families will ultimately be the ones paying the price.
“As a mother, farmer, and wife, I ask one simple question: who is going to pay for all of this?” said Clemens. “Higher production costs, higher power costs, carbon capture subsidies, B.C. compensation, and federal borrowing all make life less affordable and push the bill onto our children and grandchildren.”
Clemens said Albertans should not mistake conditional permission from Ottawa for fairness.
“Alberta should not have to trade away more of its future just to get partial permission to develop its own economy,” said Clemens. “That is not partnership. That is control.”
Let Alberta Decide is campaigning for a Yes vote on Option 2 in the October 19, 2026 referendum.
“Albertans deserve more than conditional permission from Ottawa,” Wilson added. “We deserve control over our resources, our economy, and our future. Alberta’s done waiting.”

The numbers are moving — and they are moving in a big way.
Last week, independence-side RTPAs had reported $223,907.57 in contributions.
This week, that number has climbed to $351,950.14.
That is an increase of $128,042.57 in one week — a jump of roughly 57%.
And while total referendum TPA contributions grew across the board, the independence side increased its share from 82.3% to 83.3% of all reported contributions.
That matters.
This is not a poll.
This is not a social media comment section.
This is not people simply saying they support something.
This is Albertans putting their own money behind the side they believe in, under the same Elections Alberta rules, on a public and transparent playing field.
The message is clear:
Financial support for Alberta independence is growing.
The movement is gaining momentum.
Albertans are stepping up.
Every dollar helps fund lawn signs, billboards, events, outreach, public input sessions, and the work needed to reach undecided Albertans before October 19th.
Let’s keep building.
