Ontario born but Alberta in my heart. 40 years in the west. I am off the fence. Separation in one form or another is the only way. This country is no more.
A major problem with Canadians is that they are offended by Trump's personality and brashness, and much prefer the phoniness, lies, and empty words of politicians like Trudeau and Carney.
Trudeau and Carney have destroyed Canada, and will see its dissolution, yet to Canadians, Trump is worse because they see him as rude and mean.
People who prefer pleasant/polire lies over unpleasant truths are dangerous. Indeed, this is why I've managed to anger so many Canadians over the years. I tell the truth, and they don't want to hear it, so scream at and attempt to silence the messenger.
Is this a problem that is resolvable? How do we convince people to value truth and authenticity, even when it makes them uncomfortable?
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow blames President Trump for higher food prices in Canada while holding a dozen eggs in the video below.
Yet eggs are supply-managed in Canada. Their price has little to do with the U.S.
No words.
A former Liberal MP just said the quiet part out loud, and he did it on @StephenLeDrew.
@GasPriceWizard sat in that party for 19 years. He is not guessing. He said the Liberals used to be an institution. Then Trudeau wrecked that. Finances in order. Pipelines actually built. Immigration with controls. That version is gone.
Now he is watching a generation that already owns the house vote like 2015 is still 2026. I’m alright, Jack. If it felt good then, it has to still be good now. Tough luck if your kid cannot get in.
McTeague’s line is the one that stuck. Elbows up for the people who already made it. Ankles up for everyone else. Under thirty, he said, is underwater. Not tight. Pooched. And Ottawa is not building a ladder.
He does not think this turns around with a press conference. He thinks it turns when it gets as ugly as 1981-82, the last time Canadians finally grabbed the Liberals by the scruff and threw them out.
That is not a Conservative talking point. That is a guy who used to wear the red jersey telling you the next generation was written off.

Let me wrap my head around this.
We’re now hearing that Mark Carney INTENTIONALLY collapsed a trade deal with Canada’s largest trading partner, inflicting economic harm on Canadians for the political gimmick of boosting the Liberal Party and manufacturing an American enemy to deflect from their own failures.
That is banana-republic-level stuff.
And somehow, on October 19, people are still contemplating voting Option 1 and empowering this man to keep doing it.
What the hell is wrong with those brain dead voters in Quebec, Ontario and BC? Seriously. Why do they keep voting for more of this? I will never understand the elbows up clan 🤦♀️
Yikes...
I do hope that one day Canada will stop playing the American game and start acting like the mature country we are. The name-calling, booing the U.S. national anthem, and everything else we’re doing to insult Americans, is simply not Canadian.
That’s not who we are. We’re better than this as a country.
How do you plan to vote in the October 19 referendum?
Option 1: Stay in Canada and end the independence process.
Option 2: Continue the independence process and move Alberta toward a future binding yes/no vote on independence.

I will refer to it as LAKE AMERICA

Until then it's Lake America
Soon I have to wake up my husband and tell him the 50% tariffs are staying. When he went to bed, we still had hope. Maybe we could survive 25%. Maybe if Keystone got approved, we’d be okay. Now a man who has worked hard for forty years—and fought cancer for the last two—will open his eyes to one more piece of bad news. The politicians will be fine. The government workers will be fine. The entire public sector, cushioned by cost-of-living raises, lifetime benefits, and golden pensions, will be fine. It’s the private sector that will take the hit. And I honestly don’t believe a single Carney supporter—or anyone in the media—either understands that, or cares.
Blows my mind that 100% of Alberta is not yet on board with independence. Y'all are literally the only folks with an option to escape Canada (A MASSIVE WIN)
...but also become filthy rich for doing so?
It's a no brainer.
Do not squander this opportunity Alberta, just #WEXIT
You really believe “Carney gets Keystone XL”? It was the hard work by Danielle Smith and the Republicans that made Keystone XL possible again. Keystone XL was a CONCESSION that Carney was forced to make.

You may have noticed that I have been quite vocal about the problems in Canada - this is because I want to see them fixed. But you have a group of people in this country living behind gates thinking everything is ok because their wealth from housing and equities or even an inflation adjusted defined pension plan that have buffeted them from poor policy. Many of these people voted for Trudeau and still think nothing that government did was wrong. I come from families that parents and grandparents did things for a better future for their kids and grandkids. Why can’t we return to this mentality? Why the NIMBY and selfishness? I just don’t get it.
🔥 Watch this video from W. Kelowna and tell me if you think a 21 month sentence is appropriate for this arson attack.
The guy continued to light fires while people were chasing him on the hillside in W. Kelowna.
You can see how fast the fires flared up, in the wind.

If you believe criticizing Ottawa is un-Canadian—especially now—you have misunderstood democracy.
Full stop. Scrutinizing government is not disloyalty; it is a civic responsibility, regardless of who holds power.
Patriotism does not demand intellectual obedience. Too many Canadian academics appear compliant right now. I am not. Unfortunate.
My integrity is not for sale.
