The UCP: you should be able to fire your MLA, here’s a handy-dandy recall process.

Citizens in 9 Alberta ridings: ok

The UCP: NOT LIKE THAT!

PM Carney has been clear about investing in another pipeline.
Three criteria must be met:
1. Private Investors
2. BC support
3. Indigenous support
NONE of those criteria have been met.

Once again, folks: any deal between Alberta and Ottawa that requires a) BC's approval, and b) significant support from coastal First Nations is a deal for a pipeline that will never happen.

If Carney can get Smith to agree to ratchet up industrial carbon pricing in exchange? That feels like a win.

I wondered the same thing. But with #ElonMusk one must always consider that the most nefarious ulterior motive is the correct one. Whatever that may be.
In 🇨🇦, there is an endless barrage of malign foreign influence ops. Sadly, 🇺🇸 is now on par with 🇷🇺 in that regard. #cdnpoli #ableg

It’s worth noting that Poilievre’s new campaign manager is a Christian ultranationalist who is responsible for Blaine Higgs (former NB Premier), etc.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.

I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

In 2001, Alberta got 80% of its electricity from coal.

In 2015, the province announced coal power would be phased out by 2030.

In 2024, the last coal plant shut down, six years ahead of schedule.

In 2025, Alberta's premier is musing about bringing coal power back.
