"Every child who walks through a school door in this province deserves to be there. This should not be a political question. It is a commitment every Albertan should be proud to uphold." The Alberta Teachers Association is calling out Smith's prejudiced referendum question.

Hey separatists: anyone want to explain why Water Not Coal isn't getting a referendum despite passing the same thresholds as the separatist petition? And they did it without illegally accessing the Elections Alberta list of electors! Explain how THAT is democratic, please!

A very powerful piece by three people I’m privileged to call friends from across the broad spectrum of the Alberta political right. Lead. Not Leave. open.substack.com/pub/thelin…

Wherein Danielle Smith openly says that no one is stepping up for her new pipeline... Because it's too risky... As she runs a separatism referendum. Got it. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Former deputy PM John Manley: We used to always refer to the president of the United States as the leader of the free world. Donald Trump is not the leader of anything other than about the 37% of Americans that still support him. If anything, intellectually at least, Mark Carney has become the leader of the free world, the countries that believe in democracy and the rule of law.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a now deleted post by former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier, he posted screenshots of Eric Trump trying to get an insider scoop on whether any of the MMA fights at the White House are rigged so that he could try and illegally make money off of them.. Below is the Direct Messages that Trump allegedly sent Cormier. There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of these messages.

Carney: Canada is a mosaic, not a melting pot. And this is the distinction that matters. Because a mosaic doesn't dissolve or blend its pieces. Each is stitched to each and all the pieces hold all. And the beauty is in the arrangement, not in the blending.

The UCP has $100m for a referendum, has billions for chartered schools and chartered surgical facilities. But is forcing a pay cut in the middle of an affordability crisis in Alberta. Cruel and callous.

Danielle Smith said that if Albertans collected enough signatures, she would allow a referendum on coal mining in the Rockies. Now that Albertans have collected more than that number, it looks like she’s reneging on that promise. She’ll help the separatists, but obstruct others.

This is exactly what I wanted from GoW: Laufey Get ready to never experience the Norse saga the same way again

You can’t make this stuff up. Danielle Smith has appointed right-wing academic Jack Mintz to chair a panel that will look into the pros and cons of separatism. Mintz has previously argued that “Albexit” makes sense. And, Smith wants us to believe she’s opposed to separation. 😡

Here's Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, in 2018, writing about work on 'Albexit' by Jack Mintz. Smith just appointed Mintz to head a provincial panel detailing the economic case to *remain* in Canada.

This from "Alberta Never 51/ Never UCP” I say it goes back further than stated but the point is there.

Carter Hart skated to the bench so fast you would think he got a call from Michael McLeod.

The Carney government just dropped a $3.2 billion food security strategy and it’s worth understanding what it actually does. Right now, only 11 cents of every dollar you spend on groceries reaches the farmer who grew it. Five companies control 80% of the grocery market. And Canada exports billions in agricultural products while turning around and importing processed versions of the same food from the US at a markup. This plan attacks that problem structurally. $1 billion goes toward food terminals and distribution hubs so independent grocers can buy directly from Canadian farmers, cutting out the middleman. The Competition Bureau gets a funding boost to go after the property control tricks big grocers use to block competitors from moving in nearby. And Farm Credit Canada gets $1 billion for domestic food processing so we stop exporting raw product and importing it back as something more expensive. The targets are concrete: expand the Ontario Food Terminal by end of year, open two new food terminals and 10 regional food hubs by 2028. This isn’t a handout to Loblaws. It’s infrastructure to break their stranglehold on the supply chain. Will it fix your grocery bill overnight? No. But building real competition into the system is how you get lasting price relief, not a rebate that disappears after one quarter.

RT @HelloStephano: PM Carney spitting truth once again.

Canada named most positive leader on world stage cultmtl.com/2026/06/canada-n…

The Alberta NDP making an election-style pledge on affordability. The plan includes increasing minimum wage to $18, cutting the gas tax when oil prices are high, taking steps it claims will bring down grocery prices and measures it argues will help first time home buyers. albertandp.ca/savemoney

This!!

This week, Bill C-16 passed. But there were 40 MP’s that voted no. Every single one of them are Conservative MP’s. Including Durham MP Jamil Jivani. The bill includes measures to strengthen protections for women and children, including recognizing femicide as first-degree murder in certain circumstances, creating a coercive control offence, and increasing penalties for child predators. Yet 40 Conservative MPs voted NO. Can someone explain why? Conservatives routinely criticize crime, “catch and release” justice, and weak penalties for offenders. So why vote against legislation that strengthens protections for victims, women, and children? I’m especially interested in hearing from Jamil Jivani, who is currently touring the country speaking about men’s health and well-being. Protecting women from violence and protecting children from predators should be something all parties can support. The bill passed. But constituents deserve to know why their MP voted against it.
