Today I introduced legislation to ban floor crossing without voter consent. When MPs switch parties after an election, they override the will of the people and erode trust. My bill restores accountability: if you want to change parties, face your constituents and let them decide.
Canada Post is hemorrhaging money yet the union is voting on a 6.5/3/3 % wage increase! Help me understand that. Don’t do a new deal until they have a plan to get their finances in order. And if they threaten strike, let them.

Look, I’ve been reading some of these hot takes about Danielle Smith and the whole "separatist fire" narrative, and honestly? It’s a bit rich. People like @kinsellawarren in their ivory towers love to talk about "dangerous rhetoric," but out here in the real world, where we’re actually building things, creating jobs, and trying to keep the lights on, it looks a lot different.
Calling this a "fire" implies something accidental or that Smith is just out there with a match for the fun of it. That’s just not true. If there’s heat, it’s because the federal government has been turning up the temperature on Alberta for years. When you keep squeezing the province that’s supposed to be the engine of the country, don’t act surprised when people start looking for the emergency exit.
And let’s talk about this obsession with labelling everything "radical." Since when is giving people a voice a bad thing? Whether you’re talking about the Alberta Sovereignty Act or simply pushing back on federal overreach, it’s not about burning the house down. It’s about standing up for the people who pay the bills. If you’re a builder, you know that when the foundation is cracked, you fix it; you don’t just pretend the house is fine because you don’t like the sound of the drilling.
The media likes to paint this as some fringe movement, but you talk to everyday folks at the job site or the grocery store, and they’re tired of being ignored. Smith isn’t creating these feelings; she’s just not afraid to acknowledge them. That’s what leadership looks like to a lot of us. It’s not about separation for the sake of it; it’s about making sure Alberta doesn't get left holding the bag while Ottawa keeps moving the goalposts.
At the end of the day, we just want a fair shake. Stop the fear-mongering, stop the condescending lectures from Down East, and start respecting the fact that Albertans are smart enough to decide their own future. That’s the real conversation we should be having.
This is a new low for the CBC. Using taxpayer dollars to fund fake companies and ambush our veterans under the guise of honouring them isn't a "prank"; it's a calculated betrayal. It’s flat-out deceptive, and I sincerely hope these folks sue them into oblivion. A state broadcaster using our money to attack citizens has lost its mandate. It’s time to defund this atrocity.
@ryangerritsen@pocket_aces7777 I know someone with 2 heat pumps and still use their gas furnaces because the price of electricity is so high and natural gas is so low.
“We’ve been an average team all year” - Oilers Connor McDavid. 100s of things a Captain can say and you choose that? Does that make you average then too? He’s checked out.
@BlkNBlueShirts Hmmm. Panthers went to SCF and lost, then won the next 2. Were they not tired? Sorry, but the difference being is they made positive tweaks to make their team better and they played as a team.
The Ducks start to double/triple team McDavid, and the 3rd and 4th lines start to score. Then they get down a couple of goals and what do they do? They double shift McDrai and sit the rest. Weird huh? 🤔
@gwashingstunned Agreed. Championship teams are built from the back end. You can’t depend on out scoring your opponent all the time. And when your stars don’t have a supporting cast, the outcome is often bleak
