“Why do you need an AR-15?” Ask the police. Because they have them. They have the rifles. They have the 30-round magazines. They have the gear politicians keep saying is too dangerous for you. And nobody asks them why they need it. Why? Because the answer is obvious: They carry it to confront violent people. But here’s the part everyone skips… Who meets that violent person first? You do. The cop shows up after the threat starts. You’re the one already there. No badge. No backup. No radio. No team. And the Supreme Court has already said police do not have a constitutional duty to protect you as an individual. So if the state keeps these tools for the people who arrive second… Why does it want to take them from the person who has to survive first? That’s the question. Drop your answer below — and send this to the person who still asks, “Why do you need that?”

Ten years ago today, Britain voted for Brexit. Voters were promised simple solutions to complex problems. Many were convinced it wouldn't actually happen, or that there would be no real consequences if they voted to “send a message”. They woke up the next morning to a very different reality. What followed was years of economic uncertainty, slower growth, and businesses moving investment elsewhere. Many now regret their vote, and Britain is still grappling with the economic consequences. Albertans should learn from that mistake. Danielle Smith should have learned from it. Every Albertan must take the threat of separation seriously. We all have a responsibility to stand up for Canada. Alberta’s New Democrats are proud Canadians, ready to fight for Canada and make sure separatists don’t get their way. We need to spread the word, to vote, and to convince everyone we know to vote. At the same time, we need to give Albertans something to look forward to: good jobs, a growing economy, strong public services, and a government focused on lowering the cost of living. Alberta's New Democrats have a plan to do just that. Better is possible. 🇨🇦
