You know… if you were going to soften up the public with a psy-op to get them ready for the disclosure of intelligent extra-terrestrial life, a Steven Spielberg blockbuster about that very subject would be the way you’d do it…

“ChatGPT, write six paragraphs that can be summed up as ‘the fix is in’.” #abpoli

I mean, when the #Knicks win the title, @DanhausenAD is going to be in the parade, right? Blimp down the Canyon of Heroes?

It’s awesome watching UCP-affiliated lawyers twist themselves in knots accusing Comms folks who take a paycheque of being completely, baked-in-at-birth biased when taking the cheque even when you disagree with the client is something lawyers do every damned day. #abpoli

At some point in my lifetime, the world will probably have moved on from fossil fuels. And the separatists who insist Alberta is going to be rich forever will be begging for handouts from whatever province has the Next Big Export (my $ is on N.B. fiddleheads). #abpoli

I was shocked - SHOCKED, I say - to see Chad Gable under that mask. But why is everyone tagging Ludwig Kaiser on this stuff? He hasn’t been on tv for the better part of a year. #aaa #wwe

“Just vote yes and we’re our own country.” Cool. Here’s the actual to-do list you’d have to negotiate first You’d have to settle: → Share of the national debt → Split of federal assets → Embassies & foreign property → Crown corporations → Federal pensions → Keep the loonie? Make a new currency? → Central bank access → Deposit insurance & banking rules → Foreign reserves → Citizenship & dual nationality → Passports → Free movement across the new border → Exact land borders → Maritime borders → Indigenous treaty rights (these don’t just transfer) → Whether Indigenous nations can stay with Canada → A whole new trade deal → Status under USMCA, CETA, CPTPP (not automatic) → Tariffs, customs, standards → Professional licensing across the border → UN membership (you re-apply) → Hundreds of treaties, renegotiated → Diplomatic recognition → NATO & NORAD membership → Splitting the armed forces → Military bases & equipment → Intelligence sharing (Five Eyes access) → Border security & the RCMP → Coast guard & airspace → CPP & pension portability → Old Age Security → Health transfers → Employment insurance → Pipelines & the power grid → Railways, highways, seaways → Shared rivers & water → Telecom & spectrum → Air traffic control → Tax systems & taxpayer data → Courts & appeals (no more Supreme Court of Canada) → Every federal regulator: food, drugs, aviation, broadcasting → Thousands of federal employees → …and what happens if talks just collapse 50% 1 creates a duty to negotiate — not a guarantee you get what you want, or that a deal even happens. “Independence” is the easy word. That list is the actual job.

The Tim’s in Oromocto NB is out of ice and food and donuts, but other than that, it’s great.

Born-and-raised Albertans are so uncommon, it’s a joke among the populace. It seems like almost everyone was born somewhere else. Does anyone have stats on this? Seems the seppie “only those born in AB will have citizenship” would reduce us to what, a million citizens? #abpoli

An all-time great playoff performer. A man with private struggles. Men’s mental health is no joke. Check on your men, your sons, and your fathers. Check on your friends.

Launching another new site today: Suddenlycanadian.ca Simple site really. Simply pin the Canadian flag on Danielle Smith. Let me know if you win!

Oh, good. ANOTHER reason to hate Carter Hart.

We moved when I was 8, and hockey in my new city was too expensive for my family.

Local mayor sows the wind, confused by result.

We’re holding a referendum about whether we should hold a referendum. We’re living in electoral Inception. #abpoli #ableg

I mean, it sucks that Ludwig Kaiser is going to be off tv for a while, but surely they can move someone up the card? Like, what is the new El Grande Americano up to after he beats that cheap knock-off? #wwe

Memo to Alberta sports teams: I’m capable of singing O Canada quite well at the start of your event, and happen to be 100% in favour of remaining Canadian. In case hypocrisy matters to you. DM’s are open. @GoElks @calstampeders @NHLFlames @EdmontonOilers

If Canada is a divisible entity, then so is Alberta. And once the wealthy and progressive fiefdoms decide to go their own way or stay in Canada, what’s left? How does Three Hills pay for road repairs without Edmonton, Calgary, or Fort Mac’s tax bases subsidizing them? #abpoli
