Alberta the province is only a political idea. The land on which it sits belongs to the Indigenous folks by way of treaty.

I like Nenshi's suggestion that they identify themselves to voters, or voters should assume that all UCP members/candidates are separatists.

🎵10,000 spoons
I just found out that my spouse makes a PB&J sandwich using the same knife for both toppings, instead of one knife for each separate container.
We've been married for over 16 years. I cannot believe I just discovered this NOW.
Is it 1 knife or 2 when making PB&J? Chime in!

Melania or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Emoluments
The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

I'm normally not a fan of platforming the Alberta separatist types, but when it exposes their extremism in other areas, I think it's a good thing.
The ideas animating the man behind Alberta's separatism petition range from the pedestrian — "attacks" on Alberta's oil sector from Ottawa — to the fringe and beyond. Speaking with him this morning, @arnokopecky.bsky.social drew out several startling admissions.
