Thousands of people in Summerland, B.C., are being evacuated as intense wildfires threaten their community.
To the brave firefighters and first responders working tirelessly to keep people safe: thank you.
The federal government stands ready to help and support the Government of British Columbia in these efforts. I’m keeping everyone forced from their homes in my thoughts and hoping they can return safely soon.
@AB_EmergAlert Maybe just issue a Tornado warning for all of Alberta for the rest of the summer and be done with it. Remember the story of the little boy who cried wolf? Eventually nobody listens if you keep crying about every storm that develops..
There are costs to Alberta independence. Fair enough.
But federal services are already funded in part by Alberta tax dollars. Add Alberta’s ~$25B annual net contribution to Ottawa & ~$26.5B in lost energy opportunity, and the question becomes:
What’s the cost of staying?
Canada's PM Signed a Secret Police Deal With China. Now he's severing our relationship with the USA and running into the arms of the EU. Not just for trade....for a totally different agenda.
Everyone's asking why Mark Carney is pivoting away from the US but hat's the wrong question. The right question is: why does a man who sat on the WEF board, co-chaired a $130 trillion Net Zero alliance, proposed replacing the US dollar, and served on the Bilderberg Steering Committee, think Canada's future belongs inside supranational institutions rather than as a sovereign nation?
In this episode, we follow the thread of Carney's actual resume. Not what he says. What he built. So when he flies to Brussels and signs defence partnerships with the EU, and then lands in Beijing and calls Xi Jinping a strategic partner while signing a secret police cooperation deal between the RCMP and China's Ministry of Public Security, this is clearly not trade diversification.
This is Carney aligning us with elite, unelected global institutions. And Canadians never voted for it.
If @MarkJCarney is the first to invest $1,000,000 the rest of Canada can be assured that the fund will be well managed and guaranteed to return a profit for their investment.
🚨 Today, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the creation of the Canada Strong Fund.
“If you have a bit of extra money, we’ll make it easy for you to invest in the fund.”
@wealthmoose@jkenney is the only one creating mischief here, by even suggesting that the #GovernmentofAlberta would take a payoff from the @usgov. @jkenney is fomenting division TDS for political gain and does not have #Alberta's best interest in mind.
Imagine having a political leader seriously suggesting we abandon trade with the largest economy in the world--our closest neighbour, lowest-cost partner, and biggest customer.
Canada sends ~75% of its exports to the U.S.
For Alberta it's closer to ~85–90%.
That’s not a minor relationship you can “pivot” away from overnight--it’s the backbone of our economy.
You don’t strengthen a country by picking fights with your primary customer. You don’t create jobs by making it harder to sell what we produce.
Albertans understand this. We rely on access to U.S. markets, and we have no interest in reckless strategies that gamble with our livelihoods.
Strong countries don’t act out of impulse. They act in their economic self-interest. That’s what an independent Alberta will do. Vote yes on Oct. 19. #AlbertaIndependence
@edmontonjournal@edmontonjournal I just returned from a 7 night stay in Oahu. Made a point of taking a day trip to the big island. I'm from Alberta, met people from Saskatchewan there. Not everyone has TDS. The beaches were very busy, never saw a closed shop. Fantastic weather and people!
@jmhamiltonblog Help me understand. If an association is heavily underfunded, and has a $1.2billion dollar shortfall, that's something we should be alarmed about? As taxpayers, we shouldn't fund anything like that? Sounds just like the #CBC, doesn't it?
Women and girls have the right to play competitive sports in a safe and fair environment against other biological females.
This view is held by a vast majority of Albertans and Canadians. It is also common sense and common decency.
Skate Canada‘s refusal to hold events in Alberta because we choose to protect women and girls in sport is disgraceful.
We expect they will apologize and adjust their policies once they realize they are not only compromising the fairness and safety of their athletes, but are also offside with the international community, including the International Olympic Committee, which is moving in the same direction as Alberta.
