Reminder: These folks are not "victims". They got their democratic vote, and they lost bigly. Now go away, for a while.
People dismiss 24% of Albertans as a minority, but if it was a racial minority, it would be the largest in the province. Something to think about.

STOP MAKING ME AGREE WITH AVI LEWIS
Avi Lewis: "The entire process was unnecessary. Nobody asked for it. Danielle Smith's career has been defined by a slow walk towards separation. All of the questions are designed to stoke division in Alberta, and she is the one who is responsible for that."

All religious fanaticism is bad actually. Using religious law to execute people is actually just barbaric.
Islam hate shouldn't be promoted because of what happened in Saudi Arabia; The execution of the two Bangladeshis is extreme and unacceptable, but that doesn't justify Islamophobia in any way. And contrary to what is being reported in the news, the reason why those persons were unfortunately executed has nothing to do with alleged kissing, as a matter of fact the reason for their arrest, time, and execution hasn't been disclosed to the public yet. We can condemn the act, without berating all Muslims. I think the alleged crimes of these persons should be revealed.

AI is not conscious, but more and more it resembles something that’s conscious—a philosophical zombie—and that illusion may convince too many people (“Claude is my friend!”), including the true-believers at Anthropic. Don’t buy into the techno-woo!

I have no referendum hot takes except to say that the market never priced in any risk to the Canadian oil and gas sector, never regarded the separation scenario as credible, and therefore shrugged off the Alberta referendum both before and after the vote. Market movements consistent with ordinary energy-sector volatility.

I mean this has *always* been true of religious laws. They’re enforced viciously for the poor and outgroups while being quite forgiving of in-groups and favoured groups.
Majority of the comments on this tweet agree with him. So if you can exempt some people from the offense because you believe their government will retaliate then it means your law is not absolute. This is synonymous to saying “sharia is for the poor”.

To all the Albertan separatists coping “25% is still a big movement”. No. No it’s not. The fist Quebec separatist vote had 40% in favour of separation. The second. 49%. 25% is a loud irritation that will dissipate after trump leaves. Losers and traitors.

If you believe people deserve death for committing “immoral acts”, you are a religious extremist.
What is the truth? On October 14, 2026, the two people sentenced to death in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, were *Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siti Akhtar* from Bangladesh, and they weren't even husband and wife. According to Bangladeshi media, Nazrul had gone to Saudi Arabia in 2022 as a cleaner, and Siti was working there. In May 2023, about 1 month before Hajj, both were allegedly caught by Saudi security forces inside a mosque in Mecca committing immoral acts. After that, they spent more than 3 years in jail, the trial took place in Jeddah court, and upon being found guilty, by royal order, they were hanged in Mecca on October 14, 2026. Their bodies were sent to Bangladesh on October 18. Why was the punishment so severe? Every mosque in Mecca has its own sanctity; it is connected to our Prophet ﷺ. Under Saudi Arabia's "Public Decency Law," such acts in a mosque are strictly prohibited, and violating the sanctity in a Mecca mosque makes the case extremely serious under "Ta'zir," which can carry the death penalty. According to the Saudi Ministry of Interior, the charges against both of committing "fi'al al-fahisha" inside the mosque—that is, a serious sexual act of an obscene nature / adultery—were proven. Bangladesh's State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaid Islam herself confirmed this on October 17. So the question isn't where they were from; the question is—will you respect the purity of Allah's house or not? A mosque is a place of worship, not shamelessness! Whoever does such a thing on Mecca's sacred land will surely face punishment. Stop spreading rumors; understand the truth.

Stop calling him a conservative activist, and continue calling him a separatist.
Prominent conservative activist @JeffreyRWRath told @Ebay_10 it's important to recognize the more than 300,000 Albertans who voted to leave Canada. He also says in his view, Alberta independence will never be realized as long as "avowed federalist" Danielle Smith leads the UCP.

📊 The 2016 Brexit electorate no longer exists. Peter Kellner has updated the sums using YouGov and ONS data. Since 2016: 🔹 Around 3.8m Leave voters have died, against 2.1m Remain voters. 🔹 Around 7m new voters have reached voting age, overwhelmingly pro-European. 🔹 Around 5m voters have changed their minds 👉roughly three-quarters of them moving from Leave to Rejoin. His estimate of how Britain would vote now: 🇪🇺 REJOIN: 20.0m 👉 63% 🇬🇧 STAY OUT: 11.8m 👉 37% A majority of almost 9 million. Brexit happened. Britain has lived with it for a decade. But democracy does not freeze the electorate in 2016 forever. The question is what Britain wants now not what it indicated in 2016.
📊 The Brexit majority hasn’t just slipped 👉it’s vanished. Completely. This chart from Peter Kellner/YouGov shows: • 5 million 2016 voters have died • New young voters back Rejoin by 5:1 • 29% of Leave voters now want to rejoin • Net result: Rejoin 19.8m vs Stay Out 11.7m ➡️ An 8 MILLION majority for Rejoin. Britain is now a pro-EU country. The only people keeping Brexit alive are politicians who benefit from the damage.

Land doesn't vote. People vote. 80% of the population of Alberta lives in urban areas.
Replying to @jengerson
I don't think the results are as one-sided as you are portraying when major areas just outside of Edmonton/Calgary are polling around 40 to 45% for Option 2, Question 10. This indicates a deep seated dissatisfaction with the current political treatment by Ottawa.

This is extremely awkward for the Greens, given that their leader is a gay man.
EXCL: The creator of the ‘Palestine poppy’ is an Oxford-educated paediatrician who has written books for Muslim teenagers justifying stoning and warning that homosexuality is ‘a test from Allah’. The Spectator can now reveal that Abdul Qader Ismail is an active member of Greens for Palestine and co-sponsored the group’s ‘Zionism is Racism’ policy. He is also the author of a book series titled An Introduction to Challenging Topics for Muslim Teens. The books provide justifications (within specific conditions) for stoning, crucification, cutting off hands and female genital mutilation. Ismail describes same-sex attraction as a ‘test from Allah’ and says homosexual relationships are wrong. He writes: ‘Even if we have homosexual feelings, we would not be able to act upon them without displeasing Allah… Having homosexual feelings is not a sin, and if we pray to Allah to help us and we do not act upon our feelings, Allah will be pleased with us.’

Some are qualifying their opposition to the beheading with “they were married” “it’s just a kiss”. Even if they were unmarried and had actual sex, there is no justification for beheading. No place is too sacred that sex btw adults is grounds for killing.

Honestly I think it would have been more. People in Eastern Canada really underestimate how much Trudeau undermined Canadian unity in western Canada.
As much as I think the Alberta results were a forgone conclusion… Carney’s leadership played a role. If Trudeau were still around / at least 5 points less is my call.

I have commented very rarely on Alberta separation because I didn't want to give free media attention to an unpopular "movement" that depends on hype for its continued existence. Referendum results: fewer than 1 in 4 want separation. Surely everybody who seriously wanted separation took the effort to vote, while many who thought it unthinkable and that this was all a silly joke didn't bother voting, so it is probably in reality more like 1 in 6. And now that it is over, I'll say it: These people don't want separation. They are quisling traitors who want to join the U.S. Forming an independent, land-locked nation was never a serious idea.

No it is worse. Some of the anti imperialist Left queer & trans tankies, have spent years accusing Ukraine of being homophobic, even as Ukraine keeps making pro LGBTQ progress, even as they say nothing about Russia being one of the major instigators of transphobia gloablmg
I cant help but notice the double standard by privileged westerns. They say: “it doesn't matter if Palestine is a homophobic state, I will support it” but then they say “Ukraine is homophobic; I will support their invaders.” then “you cant revolute with hugs and peace” and

Is it just me or does the DSA take a lot of votes on expelling people.
DSA's national leadership had been expected to vote tonight on whether to unendorse or expel Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, who's been endorsed by DSA-LA. Instead, the vote has been delayed for another week.

By giving the referendum campaign such major coverage when the Alberta separatists, as all polls showed, had zero chance of winning, I think the national media gave them more credibility than warranted.
