It's Monday. That means David Parker tells us the referendum is really about independence.
On Tuesdays & Thursdays, Keith Wilson reminds us that this isn't really about independence.
Cory Morgan gets the rest of the week to complain about how the whole thing is rigged.
The fact that we are even having a vote on Alberta Independence is a monumental shift. It never would have happened without the work of TBA, APP, and the many grassroots people that have forced it. That fact alone is a huge step forward for the movement.

Few key points from this lengthy report:
- Alberta separatist leaders want their own Christian nationalist state
- MAGA operatives have helped them
- Kenney used them to get rid of Notley, then they knifed Kenney and put in Smith

As a journalist and lifetime Albertan, I am saddened that the EDM Journal and CGY Herald are so far behind a national outlet on our own politics.
But I’m thankful for @CarrieTait. Boy, am I thankful.

Separatists promise Alberta sovereignty while offering Washington oil and water, and importing Republican campaign tech that exposed nearly 3 million voters’ data.
The ties to Trump are tighter than we thought. Bombshell reporting:

Treason is not too strong of a word:
Alberta separatists made a deal with Republicans, offering Canadian resources for help breaking up our country:

So the news today is that both the Alberta separatists and the Quebec separatists have been holding (or seeking) meetings with the Trump administration — colluding with a foreign power in the service of its ambition to break up the country and absorb it piece by piece. For how long are we going to continue to treat this as a legitimate political “option”?

For as much as the Orange-Cheeto-Pedo-Felon says that Canada “doesn’t matter” to him or the USA, his little spineless fluffers are sure obsessed with us.
Mark Carney is playing checkers in a chess world.
He thinks Beijing is his leverage against America.
Xi thinks Carney is his next checkmate.

We built the last pipeline and will build this one. Let us know when you kick the separatists out of your party.
🚨BREAKING
The federal NDP and Avi Lewis @avilewis just released a statement opposing the new pacific link pipeline and demanding it be halted. They oppose Alberta's Pacific Link pipeline and they will do everything in their power to kill it.
Understand what this means... This would kill 140,000 jobs. Stop tens of billions in new wealth for Albertans to build things like hospitals and schools. Lost jobs and lower paycheques for Alberta families.
Today I am calling on Naheed Nenshi @nenshi to do what he should have done a long time ago. Cut ties with his boss, Avi Lewis and the federal NDP. Officially, formally, in writing today. A clean break, right down to the name of their party.
Not doing so tells Albertans all they need to know about where the NDP stands on Alberta energy… which is “leave it in the ground”.

“Ms. Smith’s United Conservative Party has been hijacked by separatists, and as a sop to them she has construed a separation referendum that she did not campaign on. It really has zero, and I mean zero, credibility.”

The bible is a collection of ancient writings that occurred over a span of 1500 years by more than 40 individual authors.
And most of the 2.5 billion Christians on the planet interpret that book literally.
Think about that for a moment.
All of the other books of major religions on the planet are equally as silly.

Albertans, this is your last warning!!!
This isn’t about “my team vs your team” silly partisanship. This is about dangerous radicalism and hatred that Alberta has never seen before.
Even many UCP supporters find this too much.
Think! Reflect. Vote with your gut.

No one debunks anti science nonsense better than @IntegralAnswers
1/
There is a persistent claim that COVID vaccination produced “mass casualties”—sometimes wrapped in rhetoric about a future “Nuremberg 2.”
There is a straightforward way to test the underlying premise:
What actually happened to the risk of hospitalization and death among vaccinated versus unvaccinated people?
And then a second question:
Did misinformation measurably influence whether people accepted vaccination?
The answers are considerably better documented than social media arguments often suggest.
A thread on what the evidence actually shows.

Agree his posts are tragically under-read. Follow @IntegralAnswers
Thank goodness for @IntegralAnswers who has emerged as an important science communicator and champion. Not sure how he has the bandwidth for all he does, but he’s super intuitive and does a true public service. Grateful

Calling Canada “one of the worst countries in the entire world” after more than 40,000 Canadians served alongside us in Afghanistan and 158 of their troops died...
while saying “we get along with China” as Beijing has supported Iran's military during a war killing and wounding Americans...
may be the peak of geopolitical absurdity.
CANADA FOUGHT BESIDE US.
CHINA IS HELPING ARM THE OTHER SIDE.
Trump on Canada: They have been one of the worst countries in the entire world. We get along with China, but Canada has been very difficult. And they feel entitled and they're not a state.
