@acoyne President they elected.

President they deserve.

@ChantalHbert Carney looks and sounds like a candidate moderate conservatives can vote for.

Perhaps the most revealing and encouraging consequence of the interview is the impact it seems to be having on the conservative bots and bottom feeders.

@DuaneBratt Maybe Texans understand something that Albertans don’t.

Maybe it’s that the marginal cost of energy produced from sunlight and wind is virtually zero, while the marginal costs of energy produced from fossil fuels are very non-zero and steadily increasing.

@Anthony__Koch Your premise is that 'old stock Canadian' is a legitimate identity, and that Canada is 'their' country.

Canada was once just a place in the world.

It is now the entire world in a place, and freedom of identity is its strongest cultural asset.

'Old stock' implies 'dead stock'.

@sunrickbell @calgaryherald Alberta's most crippling cultural affliction remains its appetite for the virtuous victimhood game.

We now rank among the most fortunate societies in human history, and silly commentaries like this only make it harder for the world to take us seriously.

Please do better.

@maxfawcett Why is her statement controversial?

Because my generation has elevated hypocrisy, rage farming and turd polishing to higher forms of art.

Our gift to the future will be Canada's awesome capacities for mutually assured self-delusion and freedom to pretend.

Lest we be forgotten.

@LukaszukAB Taxes collected from the public are meant to serve public interests, not private interests.

Far too many ignorant people in this province who don't understand the purpose and fiduciary responsibilities of their own democratically elected government.

@elonmusk Enough of us looking in the mirror, and embracing and celebrating a simple truth:

IT’S NOT ABOUT ME.

Any of it.

@mrbinnion @maxfawcett Help us to understand how the most fortunate 'region' on the planet became so uniquely needy.
