Bluesky is really dunking on popularism right now (cool). But let me offer a corollary challenge to primary election voters: endorse and support candidates who inspire you, not who you think will inspire a theorized median voter

Albertans have good reason to be angry: their real wages are down 10%, their minimum wage is frozen, their inflation is worst in Canada, their health care's at risk. None of that was caused by the rest of Canada. My take in today's @TorontoStar: www.thestar.com/business/opi.... #cdnecon

They’ve gone from “I never thought the leopards would eat MY face” to “The leopards are eating my face but it’s cool because they’re also eating the faces of the people I don’t like.”

Incredible the degree to which vaccine hesitancy is now ALL about political identity. Views on vaccines = ideological flag. Science means nothing. Politics means everything. Unvaccinated? Likely voted CPC & VERY against immigration. via @voiceoffranky.bsky.social cc @picardonhealth.bsky.social

I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous. But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

You know, if someone really wanted to shit disturb, they’d launch a campaign demanding to separate Edmonton, Calgary & the narrow strip of hwy 2 from the rest of Alberta to remain in Canada And use every wild argument the provincial separatists & Smith do in defending the idea & vote back at them

The UCP is facing 8 investigations into corruption, plus no fewer than 3 major public sector union strikes (all of their own making). The affordability crisis looms, as does a trade war with the US. Wildfires & measles are raging. And the premier chose now to clear a path for a separation vote.

“Smith was asked on CTV News Channel if it wasn't easier to quell separatism by taking it off the table. Smith responded, “If there isn’t an outlet, it creates a new party.” Self preservation from Smith, Canada be damned. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.lakelandtoday.ca/alberta-news...

Well well well, Onyx sells its portion of West Jet today to Korean Air and DELTA- another Canadian company getting acquired by America. We need to curtail foreign ownership in Canadian companies esp if American!

Does he think Ovechkin is Canadian? Maybe confusing Russians and Canadians is a key to all of it.

By choosing a rural Alberta riding, Poilievre will put himself smack dab in the midst of an Alberta separation referendum. He needs to be asked about that repeatedly by the media that he likes to ignore because some of his would-be voters won't like it if he writes them off. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I share this image often. But it's important for people to recognize just how much oil & gas disturbance DOMINATES Alberta's landscape. Yes, we need to be mindful of additional disturbance. BUT, the footprint of renewable energy is marginal compared to the harmful legacy of oil & gas. #ABLeg #ABPoli

While billed as technical updates to restore faith in elections in Alberta, sweeping changes made by the UCP Tuesday do precisely the opposite. @jaredwesley.ca writes. #abpoli
