Centre-right Albertans once again have a political home! As a leftist, I welcome adult debate about sound $ policy, common ground on funding public institutions & functional inter-provincial & fed relations. #UCP-MAGA only position is "we're right, you're evil." albertatory.com

When Team Canada was introduced during the Opening Ceremony at the Olympics the crowd went wild. Canada is respected around the world because we show respect for others.
Calling us the 51st state is anything but that. It should be a game misconduct. 🚨
Elbows up! 🇨🇦
Go Team Canada! 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦

In all of Canada, there is only one province where multiple ridings vote by North Korea-level margins of over 80% for Conservatives at both federal & provincial levels. Only 1 seat in SK voted 80% Con in last elxn, & none in BC or MB. But half a dozen in AB did.

If as Vaclav Havel says, hope is the certainty that something makes sense, then hopelessness is the experience that nothing does. Hopelessness is fuelled by relentless non-sense.
Witness the hopelessness of Trump’s America.
Canadians must not abandon hope or sense. #Cndpoli #abpoli #ableg
