“Albertans are now seeing Danielle Smith's government for what it is: undemocratic, authoritarian, and willing to bend to the whims of a loud, angry minority.”
Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation would also like a word.

STATEMENT ON PROVINCIAL ADDRESS
The Premier of Alberta intervened to lower the threshold for getting a separatist question on the ballot. She then intervened to eliminate a review requiring the question be constitutional. She intervenes again tonight after yet another court has told the separatists to slow down and follow the law.
The premier can wrap these actions in the words of democracy, but she is willfully ignoring the will of the vast majority of Albertans who want no part of this separatist conversation.
The simple reality, a reality you would not find in her speech, is this: she has pushed along a question because a group has threatened to bring down her and her party if she does not.
Her internal political problems have become our national crisis.
The Premier asserts her patriotism. I will take her at her word, but I will remind her a patriot puts country ahead of party. A leader steers the agenda, rather than having it blindly dictated to them. An Albertan finds ways to do what’s right, not justifications for doing what’s wrong.
This baffling, referendum-on-a-referendum question will do nothing to settle anything. It adds another layer of confusion. It will divide. It will distract. It will damage.
I hope her government will consider how to step back from this madness before the damage to our province’s social fabric and economy is too great.

🧾 Pierre Poilievre spent two years screaming about grocery prices. Yesterday, Parliament voted on Bill C-226, a national framework to improve food price transparency, and force grocery chains to show Canadians where the money actually goes.
Poilievre voted NO. Every Conservative voted NO.
📊 Final tally: 168 Yea. 150 Nay. The bill passed, no thanks to the party that built its entire brand on "axe the tax" and grocery affordability.
🎭 This is the pattern. The grievance is the product. Solving the problem would end the grift. When there's an actual mechanism to hold grocers accountable, Conservatives fold for the industry every single time.
Poilievre doesn't want lower food prices. He wants the issue.

so they took pictures with the women’s team, went to the game to cheer them on, praise them in the media, and in private they laugh at them. what a goddamn joke
“I don’t need a break, or a fresh start. I just want to be in Edmonton, playing hockey. I want to get back there again, whatever it takes. If that sounds like a robot, then I guess I’m a robot.”
