As enraging as it is to watch @SaskParty degrade the fabric of Saskatchewan with extreme right wing christofascist ideology and O&G worship, it’s equally enraging to watch the chronically ineffectual @Sask_NDP flail about in response over and over #skpoli
If there is one video you watch today...
Chief Troy Knowlton of Piikani Nation was asked if Alberta First Nations are prepared to take on Smith and the Alberta Government.
He offered up a masterclass in history all Canadians and Albertans should hear.

First Nations in Alberta would go to war if @ABDanielleSmith was to separate Alberta. From Sturgeon Lake Cree Chief Sheldon Sunshine (just one of many) telling it like it is:
“Dear Premier Smith:
You are attempting to manufacture a national unity crisis - by enabling a referendum on separatism and a fanatical cell of individuals - at the exact moment when Canadians need to unite against Donald Trump's America.
The province of Alberta is on Treaty lands.
Please be advised that your irresponsible statements and actions are in breach of Treaties No. 6, 7 and 8. We demand that you immediately stand down from this conduct.
Our Treaties are sacred covenants and are to last forever. Alberta did not exist when our ancestors agreed to share the land with the Crown. The province has no authority to supersede or interfere with our Treaties, even indirectly by passing the buck to a "citizen" referendum.
If you or any Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Chief Sheldon Sunshine
Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation”
@kwaterfall6669 The Bloc jab is unbelievable. She is so see through it hurts. They are following a formula. Take any opportunity to disparage the east. Bonus points for Quebec. Smith worked a Quebec jab into her first video on how AB was going to shit on trans kids. SKNDP is SP minus transphobia
If we needed a motivator today, this is it.
This election is about protecting our sovereignty — not becoming the 51st state. Trump’s threats are real. Today, we stand up for our country, our future, our Canada. Get out and vote. #CanadaStrong
@niuqapimiar@Prairielily22@Bert_HappyDog In unceded regions its precedent is still invoked in cases on aboriginal title. In areas under treaty (AB & SK), it set the basis for treaty relationships between FN and the Crown. Treaties underly both provinces. The RP has everything to do with the topic.
#BREAKING:
Pierre Poilievre has broken his longstanding silence on the Freedom Convoy and is asking for their support in exchange for undoing any dental work Trudeau forced them to get.

@abirlios @ABtythiessen4 Surely her pod with the city hall guy is about to implode after this. This must be her 10th attempt at podcasting. PHD in bridge burning, it’s fun to watch.
@abirlios She’s insane. This is a childish meltdown, even for her. I’ve been blocked since she did the exact same thing to @ABtythiessen4 when he dared challenge her on twitter. Ironically now she’s obsessed with him and they do a podcast together. The AB+TR collab might be next lol
