I think it’s time for the PM to have a healthcare summit with all Premiers and their Health Ministers. Time to “lay the law down”. Canada cannot stand for this erosion of health care. Put Universal Healthcare into law now.

Unbelievable. Waste. Of. Alberta. Resources.
“I’m not neutral. I’m not going to be a bystander in this. We are going to actively pursuading the public that this is the direction we want to go.” “This is the position of our government.”

If Premier Danielle Smith believes Alberta’s challenges can be reduced to immigration and constitutional theatrics, she is choosing distraction over responsibility. Blaming population growth for strained services ignores the deeper reality - years of underinvestment, policy decisions, and governance choices made by this government. Immigrants are not the cause of our housing shortage, health-care wait times, or classroom pressures. They are workers, entrepreneurs, neighbours, and families who contribute every day to the prosperity Alberta proudly claims. Floating the abolishment of the Senate of Canada as a referendum question may generate headlines, but it does nothing to improve affordability, expand access to care, or strengthen economic stability. Political theatrics are not a substitute for competent governance. Albertans deserve leadership grounded in results, not rhetoric. Alberta is strongest when we choose competence over conflict, inclusion over division, and long-term prosperity over short-term politics. We can welcome newcomers, strengthen public services, and demand accountability from our leaders at the same time. Ours is a province, and a nation, built by people who showed up, did the work, and believed in leaving things better than they found them.

A reminder: Smith's government has seen the highest real, per capita resource revenue outside of the governments of Lougheed and Klein. To blame immigration because you can't manage a resource boom is awful. She literally "called" for people to come her and for high immigration.

“We’re leaving and there’s no more conversation to be had” When did I give this blowhard my vote? Such arrogance.
Alberta Prosperity Project legal counsel Jeffrey Rath says his group is meeting “very high level” members of the Trump administration, but he won’t reveal exactly who is in those meetings: “We have an agreement with the people that we’re meeting with”

This seems to be resonating not only because people like its eloquence but because they like him having the spine to say it.
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security ... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition ... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Someone pointed out that on the two questions cut off both times Danielle’s hand went to her neck. Is this the signal for Bruce to cut the mic

Danielle Smith's 4-year contract for Bruce McAllister to belittle Albertans is $737,000 in salary and $88,000 in pension benefits, for a total of $825,000 paid to do what he did at public forums. It's a disgrace. #ableg

Shouldn't farmers have the freedom to make these decisions for themselves? This is some weapons-grade nanny state thinking coming from a government and premier who claims to hate the stuff.
Smith today on solar and wind... "We want an agriculture first policy, so we don't want installations going in on prime agricultural land and sterilizing it for either decades or even forever" That's a real quote, not a paraphrase. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I met American firefighters up north who came to help - and they had nothing but praise for Manitoba. To those in U.S. Congress trying to score points off our wildfire crisis: now’s not the time. People are grieving. Communities still at risk. Let’s focus on helping.
