Now that the kids are back in school and the rush of summer gigs has passed it’s time to get the home studio back up and running. Quick little setup and soundcheck with this killer tune from my youth by @oddsmusic!

Did Smith, LaGrange 3 other Health Ministers & UCP not tell Alberta the TRUTH to Albertans ?
Would anyone in UCP LIE ?
Check out numbers below ⬇️ !
Hey Alberta: is this incompetence or a full on intentional lie?

In the late 1980s we had 17,790 acute care spaces in hospitals (~12,000 acute care beds, +LTC beds)

Question for media, reporters, journalists, TV anchors:
When Danielle Smith actually claims that students, children, are being groomed and transitioned during their class day…why are you not responding with facts?
Why are you letting her spew these conspiracy theories?

.@ABDanielleSmith Really?
Is this what desperation and drowning look like?
Separatists, who got you elected, are the same ones as your antivaxxers (Dennis Modry and Mitch Sylvestre), convoy and border blockers (Chris Scott) and many others.
These are your supporters own it.
Danielle Smith...
Who cited the Separatist APP in 2022 as her "or else" for Canada...
Claims that separatism didn't start until April of 2025...
And that folks that believe that kids are being secretly transitioned are her real base.
So Dani hasn't hung up her tinfoil hat.

Idk about other airbnb hosts, but for me personally, I am so angry about the new rules. I will be striking by removing my property from the platform and placing it for sale on the market. I’m even going the extra mile to make sure it’s sold to a family who will live in it, NOT to another investor who will just line airbnb’s pockets more. I encourage all airbnb hosts to do the same!!!!!

More Albertans voted for the Liberals in the last federal election than voted for the separatist option in the referendum. Can we now PLEASE stop pretending that separatists speak for all Albertans?

The @GOP must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies.

Notice how Smith didn’t have issues we actually care about in the referendum to “let voters decide”
Coal mining in E.slopes
Trampling on teachers rights
Political gerrymandering of ridings
Private health care
Public money to private schools
What was she afraid of?

Nathan Cooper, Alberta's man in Washington, spent $56,321.31 on hospitality on September 30, 2026.
What did he spend it on? We don't know. The UCP changed disclosure rules.
All we can do if hope it was worth it.

CTV News is fact-checking Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's claims that Thomas Lukaszuk forced her hand in putting the question of separation on the ballot.
Spoiler alert: nuh uh, Smith.

You attacked Canada, tried to break up our country, cost the taxpayers over $100M, threatened the economy, and you HOPED to keep this secret?!?!
Like it’s not our business to know?
Never again
I had sincerely hoped that this matter could be resolved privately. In the interest of protecting the integrity and unity of Alberta’s independence and sovereignty movements, every effort was made to reach a resolution behind closed doors. Unfortunately, those efforts have been unsuccessful.
It is therefore with profound disappointment and reluctance that I find it necessary to issue this public notice to the members of the Alberta Prosperity Project.

I asked @nenshi how he can champion pipelines when federal NDP Leader @avilewis is against new ones.
Nenshi: "I don't want to be unkind, but the federal NDP is really not relevant in Alberta. Nobody talks about them, nobody worries about them."

Yes, I spoke out about the voting machine I cast my vote on the first day of early voting in Tennessee.
Yes, the button kept flipping up to the wrong candidate three times.
Yes, I called on a very nice poll worker who stood there until it worked on the third try.

While Albertans were focused on last week’s referendum, the UCP government quietly released its long-overdue year-end financial reports — more than 100 days after the June 30 statutory deadline.
The timing deserves scrutiny. So does the delay.
These reports are not optional reading. They are essential public accountability documents that tell Albertans how their money has been managed, where it has been spent, and whether the government has met its financial obligations.
Why were these reports delayed, and why has there been so little public discussion about it?
Albertans deserve transparency from their government, not just when it is convenient, but especially when it isn’t.
Read the reports yourself and draw your own conclusions:

Smith is distancing herself from separatism, but not from MAGA. Listen to the language she uses when talking to UCP members about the NDP. “Woke cancel culture” “Open borders” “Gender change” “Defund the police” “Vaccines” She still wants to turn Alberta into MAGA North.
I hope every UCP member and supporter will watch this video.
The referendum is behind us. Albertans gave their answers and our party must honour that mandate.
What comes next is the only fight that matters, and it is twelve months away.
Naheed Nenshi's NDP have told us exactly what they will do with power:
🟠 Reopen the drug consumption sites we closed
🟠 Let minors undergo irreversible gender surgeries without their parents' knowledge.
🟠 Shut down school choice.
🟠 Bring back the production cap and the net zero regulations to phase out our energy sector.
🟠 Open border immigration.
🟠 A carbon tax.
🟠 And Avi Lewis in Ottawa pulling Nenshi’s strings.
United, our party will win. Divided the NDP wins and all Albertans would suffer as a result.
The time for division is over.
The time to unite and fight for a stronger Alberta and Canada is now.

🚨🚨BREAKING: Dolly Parton’s sister, Stella Parton, says a Tennessee voting machine repeatedly switched her selection to Republican Marsha Blackburn, forcing her to correct her ballot THREE TIMES before voting. She’s not alone. Other Tennessee voters have reported similar problems while attempting to vote for Democrats.
