@BrodyLaxton @Ozoon_CA Lol wut. His players hate him and he hasn't done shit in well over 10 years. Not sure what you're talking about.

“A fire-breathing dragon lives in my garage.” Suppose I seriously make such an assertion to you. Surely you’d want to check it out, see for yourself. . . I lead you to my garage. You look inside and see a ladder, empty paint cans, an old tricycle—but no dragon.

“Where’s the dragon?” you ask. “Oh, she’s right here,” I reply, waving vaguely.

“I neglected to mention that she’s an invisible dragon.” You propose spreading flour on the floor of the garage to capture the dragon’s footprints. “Good idea,” I say, “but this dragon floats in the air.”

Then you’ll use an infrared sensor to detect the invisible fire. “Good idea, but the invisible fire is also heatless.”

You’ll spray-paint the dragon and make her visible. “Good idea, but she’s an incorporeal dragon and the paint won’t stick.” . . . Now, what is the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all?

If there’s no way to disprove my contention, no conceivable experiment that would count against it, what does it mean to say that my dragon exists? Your inability to invalidate my hypothesis is not at all the same thing as proving it true.”

Wait, so ALBERTA IS BOOMING … under the oppressive federal yoke? Under the Nine Bad Laws? You mean the richest province in Canada is getting even richer? Clearly there’s no alternative but to bust up the country.

I’d respond directly but the premier’s chief of staff blocked me.

@jsbmbaggedmilk This is all in the leadership group of players. This is gonna end badly and mcdavid, Draisaitl et al will have to stand by their decision.

@Lowetide With Babcock as coach? I highly doubt it. He may win but it's not gonna be in oil country...

Now we wait and see if Smith allows it to go ahead…

@PierrePoilievre Ahh the appeal to the invermectin crowd. I sincerely hope these are the gasping last breaths of your political career

“the account owner, according to a CBC visual investigation, was posing as a Canadian and is actually a noodle merchant and content creator from Indonesia”

Governments don’t even need to organize foreign interference, monetization is doing it for them. https://t.co/CuwguTnVpw

@BlairKing_ca To be fair, PCA regularly outputs questionable results. It IS exciting when you get something useful!

@JPCote60 @jkenney Wise decision and I wish you well

[Shaun Ali @shaunathan]

@JPCote60 @jkenney You should maybe move there then.

[Shaun Ali @shaunathan]

@JPCote60 @jkenney You realize when everything is said and done, you pay the same in the US but way worse service

[Shaun Ali @shaunathan]

@clgmatt @jkenney The irony 😂

[Shaun Ali @shaunathan]

@clgmatt @jkenney Red herring lol. Ok.

Meanwhile Smith puts a moratorium on renewables and chases billions in investment from the province and you stay silent.

[Shaun Ali @shaunathan]

@clgmatt @jkenney Dude, look at the production numbers for Alberta oil over the last decade and stop lying to yourself.

[Shaun Ali @shaunathan]

@clgmatt @jkenney Improve prosperity? Have you ever lived in a republican state? 😂

[Shaun Ali @shaunathan]

@JPCote60 @jkenney Don't let the door hit you on the way out

[Shaun Ali @shaunathan]

But tell us how Conservatives are good managers of money 🙄
