Alberta business owner. Free markets, energy, sovereignty and blunt politics. Politically incorrect, usually on purpose.

Listen to any answer Carney gives to any reporter, on any question, without first hearing the question. Then try to infer what the question was. You can’t. Carney doesn’t converse. He doesn’t answer simple questions directly. He retreats into talking points, pivots, qualifiers and prepackaged messaging. Ask him about A, and you’ll get a polished speech about B, C and D. Catch him off guard, and the word salad turns into an Um Casserole. Carney does not answer questions. He controls what you hear while revealing as little as possible. #cdnpoli #MarkCarney #Carney #CanadaPolitics

By that logic, a guy who wins one lap at the local go kart track is now Formula 1 world champion. Pick any metric.. GDP per capita? Productivity? Unemployment? Real wage growth? Business investment? Standard of living? Then show me where Canada is actually #1 in the G7. The only thing we're good at is censoring the truth and voting for destructive policy makers.
Canada has the strongest economy in the G7. This fear porn bullshit from a rapist conman with dementia doesn’t work anymore. He can get fucked. 🇨🇦

Ok, that's the nothing but lies version. When is the truth coming out? Documents, or it didn't happen. Carney has lied too often for me to be able to take his word. The US is untrustworthy? UK, EU, Japan, South Korea, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Switzerland, and many more have signed trade deals. There was no bickering, no accusations, no threats, and no wild media spin on any of those. Canada is special? Danielle Smith is the only premier with her head screwed on straight. You'll NEVER advance in politics if all you can do is make stuff up and criticize. Yes, opposition's job is to be critical, but it's also supposed to offer well founded solutions and alternatives. And to be truthful.
A few thoughts on Danielle Smith”s response to Mark Carney’s decision to walk away from trade negotiations with the US. While every other Premier backs the Prime Minister in standing up for Canada, she refuses. Albertans deserve better. #ableg

Best damn premier in the country! Smith has consistently understood something a lot of you idiots keep forgetting... the US is our biggest customer, our closest ally and the natural partner. Instead of chest-thumping, retaliatory theatre and trying to turn Alberta oil into a weapon, she's been pushing the case for deeper energy integration, secure North American supply chains, critical minerals and a negotiated trade deal that benefits both countries. That's what leadership looks like. She even advocates for other provinces, while they attack her. You all should be deeply ashamed. Make yourselves too valuable to dismiss instead of giving reasons to. #ABPoli #CdnPoli #CanadaUS.

Was this genuinely an intolerable deal, or did Carney walk away from a deal Canadians might have preferred to accept? Right now we only have Carney's word, which means nothing. #ShowUsTheDeal #MarkCarney #CanadaUSTrade #cdnpoli

Where's the apology to Alberta and Saskatchewan for being right on US alcohol? Buy it or don't buy it. It's your choice. Restricting it just sends a bad message.

Let's take an honest look at how we got here. The US administration was pissed off about illegal migration and fentanyl crossing the border. You could say that the fentanyl coming from Canada was a tiny fraction of the US total, but border security was still a legitimate concern. And how many containers were actually inspected? Trump threatened tariffs to light a fire under Mexico and Canada's ass. Canada responded with a $1.3 billion border plan. Some of it was real and immediate. More drones. Black Hawk patrols. Tighter visa screening...yeah ok. Lena Diab couldn't screen a cabbage out of a bag of peas. Later came a fentanyl czar... anybody know what the hell he's been doing? A huge chunk of that $1.3 billion was still future spending, procurement, staffing and capacity. Announcements aren't the same thing as results. Trump decided Canada's response wasn't enough and essentially said, "What? You think I'm fucking joking?" Then the tariffs landed. Canada retaliated with tariffs of its own. Provinces started pulling US products from shelves and blocking purchases. Call it patriotism if you want. I see a politically motivated, discriminatory trade embargo Then the US escalated again. Then Canada retaliated again. And on and on it went. It's like telling your kid to mow the lawn before he gets the wifi password back. The kid does half the lawn, promises he'll finish the rest later, then starts letting air out of the parents' tires because he's pissed off about the punishment. Now everybody's standing in the driveway yelling at each other while the grass looks like shit. And dad fucked off to Tuscany for a little R&R. Tit for tat. Juvenile fucking temper tantrums on both sides. Can we elect some actual grown-ups next time? #cdnpoli #Tariffs #CanadaUSTrade #BorderSecurity #TradeWar

The question isn’t why Alberta would leave. It’s why the hell should Alberta stay? Alberta has the population, resources, tax base and economy to govern itself. Independence means Albertans decide how our money is spent, how our resources are developed and who makes the rules. The cost of staying is billions in net federal contributions, cancelled and delayed projects, lost investment, federal interference in energy, and surrendering control over taxation, immigration and resource development. Independence has costs whichAlberta is capable of managing. The cost of staying keeps growing.

We're supposed to report hate that doesn't meet the threshold of a criminal offence now? Are you admitting a parallel police monitoring system for lawful expression? "All hate causes harm" is a slogan, not a legal standard. If we start calling @edmontonpolice the Hurt Feelings Cops, are you going to arrest us?
Not all hate looks the same, but all hate causes harm. Hate crime: A criminal offence motivated by hate, including violence, threats, vandalism, or property damage. Hate incident: Hateful words, actions, or symbols that may not meet the threshold of a criminal offence but still impact individuals and communities. If you experience or witness hate, report it. Online at edmontonpolice.ca/hate In an emergency, or if a crime is in progress, call 9-1-1.

Says he loves democracy as he limits who can comment.
Some separatists claim that if you oppose Danielle Smith's referendum, you're against democracy. I disagree. I oppose her referendum because I love democracy & I'm tired of watching the UCP twist & tear it down. I took a moment to explain. #ableg

Problem solved. You can change your name, clothes, appearance, hormones, and anatomy. You cannot change your gamete type. Sperm and ova define the two reproductive sexes, and no amount of outrage changes biology. #WomensRights #ProtectWomenAndGirls #SingleSexSpaces

Oh, good! I love a mystery! A Canadian intern of Chinese origin is arrested inside SHAPE, NATO’s top military command headquarters, accused of spying for an unnamed “third country” and belonging to a criminal organization. I’m sure the finest detectives are working around the clock to crack that riddle. I'll spare you the suspense. It's CHINA! I can already hear the Liberal responses, beginning with, “Thank you for the question...” “Espionage happens all over the world.” “We denounce espionage wherever it happens.” “Have you personally witnessed espionage coming from China with your own eyes? Yes or no? Just a short answer, please.” Fucking cowards. Just like avoiding China's treatment of Uyghurs by hiding behind bloodless statements about condemning forced labour “in all its forms” and “wherever it occurs.”, they will dodge this one too while trying to sound righteous. Enough. China uses forced labour. China systematically interferes in Canadian politics. China intimidates people living in Canada. China conducts aggressive intelligence operations against Western governments and institutions. And WHEN (not if) the evidence establishes that China was behind this alleged penetration of NATO headquarters, Canada must say so loudly, point the finger directly at Beijing and embarrass the absolute shit out of them. Restore the 100% tariff on Chinese EVs. Block goods connected to forced labour. Sanction responsible officials and companies. Expel diplomats involved in interference. Shut Chinese state controlled firms out of sensitive infrastructure and government contracts. No more “unnamed countries.” No more “all over the world.” No more diplomatic throat clearing. Call China out by name. Shame them. Impose penalties. Cut ties. #CCP #ForeignInterference #NATO #CallOutChina #canpoli

[Voice of God] In a country that once called itself free... Where your money was yours... Your identity was private... And buying a cheeseburger didn't require government approval... One technocrat had a vision. A digital ID for every citizen. A central bank wallet for every dollar. A carbon score for every purchase. And absolutely no escape. You drove too far. You heated your home too much. You supported the wrong protest. You questioned the approved narrative. TRANSACTION DECLINED. Get ready for the sequel nobody asked for... CHINA 2 This time... It’s Canadian! Starring Mark Carney as... THE PUPPET MASTER A carbon market profiteer with a hatred of oil, a weakness for global conferences, and the support of low information voters and boomers. He doesn't want to govern you. He wants to program you. Coming soon to pretty much every fucking point of sale near you. #cdnpoli

Alberta has the lowest average age among the provinces, at 39.2. That's an unusually young population. That's the age where ambition and competence meet. Enough experience to trust your instincts, enough energy to take a big swing, and less fear of swiping nothing but air. Besides, even if you miss, strikes aren't failures... they're lessons. Pull it back, reset, and take another crack at it. I'm older than roughly 75% of Alberta's population, and I'm still swinging for the fences. This beautiful ~660,000 km² chunk of land (larger than the UK and Germany combined) is endowed with vast energy reserves, fertile farmland, abundant fresh water, world class cities, strong institutions, and an economy driven by people who still believe they can conquer the world. That's not empty bravado. The confidence is grounded in evidence. Alberta has the people, the resources, and the track record to justify it. We have more natural wealth than most nations could ever dream of. More energy than we could ever consume. More food than we could ever eat. More ambition than Ottawa could ever contain. Given everything Alberta has going for it, why would we ever choose permanent dependence over self-government? Confederation made sense for the Alberta of 1905. Young, sparsely populated, landlocked and dependent on national railways and markets. But Alberta has not been that province for a very long time. We're all grown up now. We don't need or want a guardian. I love and respect Canada. We all should be eternally grateful that Alberta had a home while we grew into ourselves. But gratitude is not a lifetime sentence, and respect for our past does not require surrendering our future. Vote option 2.

For anyone who hasn't recognized the pattern yet, when a Liberal leads an answer with "Thank you for the question...", they're foreshadowing yet another lie.
MUST WATCH: PM Mark Carney admits he could have explained the Gordie Howe Bridge deal better after facing questions over his comments. "Could I have explained it better on a Sunday morning at Stampede? With a cowboy hat on? Yes, I could have explained it better."
