It is absolutely essential that pro-Canada Albertans stop repeating the separatist trope that “Alberta’s grievances are legitimate.” The grievances used separatists to justify leaving Canada are NOT legitimate. It’s a grift run by con men. Stop reinforcing their talking points!
Jim Stanford Cdn Economist says that individual Albertans get back 80% of the money they pay in income taxes to the federal government. So this idea that Alberta subsidizes the federal government is hogwash.
Electricity prices could skyrocket by as much as $460 per household in Alberta because of Meta’s new AI data centre.
Danielle Smith’s solution? She told Albertans to lock in a power rate.
The cost of living is already out of control in this province. It is irresponsible for the Premier to bring in massive data centres without knowing exactly how much they will cost Albertans, or whether the benefits are even worth it.
Asking Albertans to simply pay more is not a solution.
The Alberta NDP has called for a pause on new data centre approvals until a fair and robust framework is in place. Albertans deserve a government that does its homework, understands the costs and benefits, and makes responsible decisions that put Albertans first.

David Eby: "The concern that I have is that the US is actively involved in and interfering in the [Alberta separation] referendum ... Do we need to consider our relationship with the US in terms of interference here on the same plane as we do from China or from Russia or from other countries."
When I graduated high school I believed Albertans got a bad deal from Canada. But I grew up. I paid attention over decades and learned the oil companies' and government's propaganda was BS. Both need Albertans to have victim complexes.
Good fucking gawd! Photojournalist Evelyn Hockstein took this on September 2. It looks like something that crawled out of a horror movie and asked for a microphone.
My wife is disabled, we had to pull our kids out awhile ago to keep her safe. America and Americans themselves have abandoned the "least of us." It's a horrible, dystopian place masquerading as the "light of the world."
"Oil giant Suncor won't need an environmental impact assessment before treating and dumping millions of litres of tar sand tailings into the Athabasca River."
Why don't Conservatives ever seem to want to Conserve anything anymore?
Here’s another revealing fact: on the very day @mlasinclair crossed back to the @Alberta_UCP, the Party dropped this very same lawsuit against him.
Coincidence?
Lawsuits should never be used to intimidate people or diminish political competition. A Tory government will introduce anti-SLAPP legislation to help prevent this.
