At his request, I met with Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney today. We had a very frank discussion in which I made it clear that Albertans will no longer tolerate the way we've been treated by the federal Liberals over the past 10 years.
I provided a specific list of demands the next Prime Minister, regardless of who that is, must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis.
This includes:
• Guaranteeing Alberta full access to oil and gas corridors to the north, east, and west
• Repealing Bill C-69 (aka. “no new pipelines act”)
• Lifting the tanker ban off the BC coast
• Eliminating the oil and gas emissions cap, which is a production cap
• Scrapping the so-called Clean Electricity Regulations
• Ending the prohibition on single use plastics
• Abandoning the net-zero car mandate
• Returning oversight of the industrial carbon tax to the provinces
• Halting the federal censorship of energy companies
I also made it clear that Alberta, as owner of the resource, will not accept an export tax or restriction of Alberta’s oil and gas to the United States, and that our province is no longer agreeable to subsidizing other large provinces who are fully capable of funding themselves. Lastly, I made it clear that federal mismanagement of Jasper and Banff national parks resulted in last year’s tragic wildfire in Jasper and is endangering Banff, and the situation must be rectified immediately.
With the federal election about to be called, I encourage all Albertans to get involved in what is likely one of the most pivotal and important elections in our nation’s history, and to support the party and candidates that have consistently advocated for freeing Alberta from federal overreach and the repeated economic attacks our province has faced from Ottawa over the past 10 years.
The U.S. met with China over three months to present intelligence showing Russia’s troop buildup near Ukraine and to urge Beijing to help avert war, U.S. officials said.
Chinese officials rebuffed the U.S. and shared the information with Moscow.

For no particular reason, remembering when a guy in Ottawa murdered a sentry at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and walked into Parliament and started shooting when PM and Cabinet were in the building and we had a national conversation about whether that was terrorism or not.
why were all the other protests successfully dealt with without extraordinary measures but Ottawa can’t be. to motivate his base at the expense of the rest of Canada (who he doesn’t need to win elections)?
politicians only care about reelection
Stacks (STX) monthly unlocking for early folks completed in Oct 2021.
The effective inflation rates dropped:
- Monthly inflation dropped from approx 3.5% in Q1 2021 to approx 0.5% now.
- Yearly inflation will drop from approx 36.9% in 2021 to approx 5.4% in 2022.
Watching people line up to vote for “higher income taxes on W-2s” is a basic IQ test.
Are you dumb enough to believe W-2 income is how senators and businesses accrued their wealth?
All you’re doing is making your life harder every single year.
Economics = study based on "if people are rational". They aren't entire degree is flawed.
Finance = study based on "risk free rate = government bonds". They aren't if inflation is many multiples of risk free rate, entire degree is flawed.
What other degrees are built on sand?
