@jengerson fckn retard. What an absolute tw@t... so disrespectful to shun a dignitary. No class, no statecraft, a half wit. God damn I really can't stomach this weak, dorkie, pathetic excuse for a man. Give me an Alpha dog any day. Uff. Well that was quite a rant wasn't it.

[Kat Maven @WhtHatRebellion]

@YakkStack Many on the "yes" let's do it side, are quiet, methodical, informed, and ready to roll up their sleeves. I suspect the momentum is growing beyond anyone's reckoning. And they should absolutely not be spending our tax money on any opinion whatsoever.

[Kat Maven @WhtHatRebellion]

So extremely disrespectful...what a royal tw@t our PM is....

[Kat Maven @WhtHatRebellion]

I feel deep in my heart, that "they" are completely underestimating the support every day Albertan's have for this moment in our history. No fear - just full steam ahead in this monumental endeavour. Long live a Free and Strong Alberta.

[Keith Wilson @ikwilson]

⁨🎥⁩ ⁨The momentum is real.

In less than 3 weeks, Albertans have donated over $225,000 to Let Alberta Decide.

We sold out 1,000 Stampede Breakfast spots in just 5 days.

Our digital campaign is built, and large signs are being prepared for Calgary and Edmonton as we ramp up toward the October 19 vote.

But we are up against the full power of governments, insiders, and the status quo.

We need Albertans who believe in our future to step up now.

Help us keep building.

I'm not gonna lecture, but seriously people, you had a choice, if even 25% had demonstrated "non compliance" we might have stood a chance - I never got that J@B, neither did most of my family/friends. Sacrifices - fckn rights, but my health, well being and soul are fully in tact

[Eva Chipiuk, BSc, LLB, LLM @echipiuk]

Not safe.

Not effective.

The injured were abandoned by the government that demanded their compliance.

Justice will prevail.

I can't attend, it's the Calgary Classic Car Show @ Stanley Park and the Omatsuri Japanese Festival....neither of these I ever miss. So I'll watch the recording. Because living a life is also very important, no sarcasm, I need a break from exhausting politico life/summer 2 short

Trump almost skipped the NATO summit. He only showed up because it was in Turkey.

Cannons saluted him. A finance minister met everyone else.

But the real story was Putin's 85-minute call two days earlier — and what Erdogan and Putin see that Europe can't.

[Krzysztof Szczawinski 🇵🇱 @Kristof_Poland]

Aristotle wrote the operating system Western civilization ran on for two thousand years – and quietly abandoned in the twentieth century, around the same time all the catastrophes we have been describing began.

1. His central question is not “what are your rights?” It is “what are you for?”
Eudaimonia — flourishing, not happiness — is the answer: the full realization of what a human being can become. The moment a civilization stops asking this question and starts asking only about rights, equality, and safety, it has already chosen administration over life.

2. Virtue is not a rule you follow. It is a habit you form – through practice, through the right environment, through a community that models and rewards excellence. This is why negative selection is so catastrophic in Aristotelian terms: it doesn’t just promote the wrong people. It corrupts the very mechanism by which virtue is transmitted across generations.

3. Man is a political animal – not in the sense that man should be governed, but that man is constituted by his community. You cannot flourish alone. But the corollary is equally precise: the polis exists for man’s flourishing, not the other way around. The moment the state becomes the end and the citizen becomes the means, you have not just bad government – you have the inversion of the natural order.

4. Aristotle catalogued the corruptions of every form of government: monarchy becomes tyranny, aristocracy becomes oligarchy, polity becomes mob rule. The pattern in every case is identical – the rulers stop ruling for the common good and start ruling for themselves. This is not a modern insight. It is the oldest political observation in the Western tradition. Every system contains the seed of its own corruption. The question is always: who is it for?

5. Phronesis — practical wisdom — the ability to judge particular situations correctly, without a rulebook. The bureaucratic state destroys phronesis systematically, replacing judgment with procedure, wisdom with compliance, the experienced man with the certified one. This is Aristotle’s explanation for why the credentialed class produces so many wrong decisions with such complete confidence.

6. He identified the middle class as the foundation of the stable republic – the ballast that prevents the ship from capsizing toward oligarchy above or mob rule below. Not as a sociological observation. As a structural necessity. Destroy the middle class and you have not just inequality – you have the preconditions for every tyranny he ever described.

7. The West replaced Aristotle with procedure, utility, and rights. It gained a framework for managing conflict but lost the vocabulary for saying what a good life is. The system can optimize for GDP, equality of outcome, measured safety – but it cannot tell you what you are for. Aristotle could. Every civilization that forgot that question discovered, eventually, that someone else was happy to answer it for them.

Nearly 500 years before Columbus, Vikings reached what is now Newfoundland, Canada, establishing the first known European settlement in North America around the year 1000.

Around 1000 CE, Norse explorers led by Leif Erikson sailed west from Greenland and reached what is now Newfoundland, nearly five centuries before Columbus arrived in the Caribbean.

They established a small settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows, where archaeologists later discovered remains of Norse longhouses, ironworking areas, boat repair sites, and artifacts dating back to the Viking Age. The site likely served as a temporary base for exploration and resource gathering rather than a permanent settlement.

The settlement was eventually abandoned, likely due to its isolation, limited support from Greenland, and conflicts with Indigenous groups. Its discovery in the 1960s provided the first clear archaeological evidence that Europeans reached North America long before Columbus.

This is the most realistic path for Albertan oil to the Pacific coast.

It’s time we recognize this salient fact.

Canada is not going to allow more pipelines.

The United States supports Alberta’s energy development.

Canada doesn’t.

[Keith Wilson @ikwilson]

The article makes a powerful point: this is not a new Western Accord.

It is a new National Energy Policy wearing a hard hat and high-vis vest.

Alberta produces the wealth. Ottawa sets the terms. Alberta pays the price.

We have seen this movie before. Alberta can do better.

Nationalize - plus Indigenous ownership through guaranteed (tax payer backed) loan programs. Socially engineered, remove Private enterprise (since it's logistically and bureaucratically impossible) but hey, the quangos/administrative state thinks they can do a better job.

[Bruce Pardy @PardyBruce]

Keith is correct. Don’t be fooled by this pipeline talk. Canada is “nationalizing” the sector. The government plans, controls, and funds with the people’s money. The projects are unlikely to be built in the foreseeable future. They just want to look like they’re doing something.

The rise of the Reform Party of Canada across 3 federal elections in 1988, 1993 and 1997, was truly impressive. Going from no seats but 275,767 votes (2.09% of the national vote) with only 72 candidates in 1988 to 52 seats and 2,559,245 votes (18.69% of the national vote) and 207 candidates in 1993 to 60 seats and 2,513,080 votes (19.35% of the national vote) and 227 candidates in 1997, the numbers did not justify the merger with the Progressive Conservatives (Red Tories) which began to occur in 2000 when the Reform Party became the Canadian Alliance culminating with the formation of the Conservative Party of Canada in 2003. That chapter in Western Canadian history between 1988 and 2003 is one which I look back on with major frustration because it screams at me as a situation where so much potential was squandered.

Was the merger short-sighted? Absolutely. It has not benefitted Western Canada in the longrun. 23 years later NOTHING will have changed. Spare me the optimism for Pierre Poilievre--between the bottomed-out NDP which erases the potential for progressive votesplits in urban Eastern seats and the fact that the Red Tories within the party have long been plotting his replacement for one of their own which they shall at some point succeed at--there's no reason to hold out hope. Sorry if that sounds negative and bleak to you but let's face the facts.

There were forks in the road during the Reform Party era and the wrong paths were taken. The West was screwed over. These were the 3 major forks in the road:

Fork #1 - Continuing on the path as a West-only party or becoming a fully national party running in all ridings across Canada. In 1991, during the Reform convention, it was decided that the party would abandon its "The West Wants In" motto and run in Ontario and Atlantic Canada. The party failed to make much headway in the East though and in 1993 only one Eastern seat (in Ontario) went to the Reform Party and in 1997, not a single one went to the Reform Party.

Fork #2 - Continuing as a federal-national party or abandoning running in the East to go back to becoming a regional-federal party for the West - Repeated polling in the 80s showed that the second choice of the majority of Progressive Conservative voters in the Eastern provinces was the Liberal Party and not the Reform Party. Campaigning by the Liberals and the PCs, helped by legacy media in the East, turned Eastern voters against the Reform Party. The Reform was unable to paint itself as a national party and was looked at by most Eastern voters as an angry Western party (not unlike how the media has successfully painted Poilievre as an angry Western leader to Eastern voters today). Furthermore, the Reform Party's policies failed to appeal to Eastern voters. The Reform Party could have accepted this and opted to go back to being a West-only party but they didn't.

Fork #3 - The path towards continued federalism or the path to independence. There were many many separatists within the Reform Party who hoped that the party would eventually turn fully separatist. Unfortunately, the Reform Party was led by federalists and no one from the separatist camp successfully challenged them to take the party in that direction but the idea for it was growing. When the Reform Party officially became the Canadian Alliance, it effectively cut the potential for separatist policies off at the pass.

Why is the Conservative Party a problem for us in the Western provinces today, specifically in Saskatchewan and Alberta? Well, its because Scott Moe and Danielle Smith, due to their loyalty/subservience to the federal Conservtive Party, often make decisions for their province based on consideration for the needs of the Conservative Party.

A crucial part of the inherent problem of “Confederation” is that from every flank, Alberta is imprisoned and has its economy held hostage by other Canadian provinces.

Be it BC on the West, or Manitoba to the East, the entire country seems hellbent on hurting us.

To those who say Alberta being landlocked disqualifies us as an independent country because we wouldn’t be able to export our goods, even if that were true, how is it any different from what’s going on with us as part of Canada?

We can’t export our stuff as part of Canada, either. We will have a better shot at it as an independent country, in which we will have greater leverage, a pro-Alberta legal system built for Albertans by Albertans, and robust foreign relationships and allies who will support us in trade negotiations with Canada.

As it stands right now, we have none of this. We are rendered entirely impotent so long as we remain in Canada.

@Martyupnorth It occurred to me a few weeks ago up near ghost on Crown Land, observing a certain sub species flailing their toys around and leaving a mess. This was predicted, and so, everyone must surrender them cause some just can't be trusted with the privilege

[Alicia Rhae @Prairielily22]

I was just commenting on this the other day that there seems to be a major effort underway to paint Mark Carney's government in a better light than Justin Trudeau's and people like Doug Ford and Scott Moe seem to be bending over backwards in their love fest with Carney (if you want a demonstration in asskissing, see recent speeches from either of them). I think they're both idiots. Mark Carney's government is worse than Justin Trudeau's government--he's just more efficient at carrying out all the awful things Justin Trudeau floundered at. It certainly helps Carney that he created his own majority government thanks to traitorous Conservative floorcrossers. Just looking at all the bills which were hammered through this year, no one should be under the impression that Carney is anything other than a complete and utter villain and that we should stay very very wary.
