Note to Daniell.

I’m pretty sure there are more voters in AB who feel we should manage gun ownership than UCP supporters with assault rifles.

Do the math or have an election and let us decide.

#abpoli
And notice what kind of guns the attackers were using—not the kind used for hunting deer.

Only the kind used for hunting humans.

Canada needs to step up its gun buyback program or simply take the guns away. The federal government has the absolute right to expropriate property. #cdnpoli #bondi

I wish I could retweet this 100 times over. Nobody is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves. #ableg #abpoli
Every day, I get letters demanding that the federal govt or the GG or the LG “do something” to change or save Alberta. But the only people who can “fix” Alberta are Albertans. There is no magic constitutional genie. The responsibility is on all of us.
The UCP has made 2025 one of the darkest years for Alberta’s democracy.

Albertans can turn on the lights in 2026.

By simply being Albertan.

Let me explain. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

Please keep Poilievre as the leader of the Conservatives.

It is 2nd easiest path to a majority Liberal government.

Go PM Carney. Go Canada.

Bob Fife "Poilievre is behaving like a child and not being serious." Called his pipeline motion a "stunt" this week. Criticizes him for calling important trade missions vacations. Said his behaviour is "turning people away" #cbc #cdnpoli

With the last session of the legislature now closed in Alberta, Danielle Smith said their priority was making things better for Albertans. The 21 MLA recalls (20 UCP and 1 NDP) that have been approved, inclucing Danielle Smith herself, says otherwise. #abpoli

Particularly accurate in regards to pro American risks in AB under DanielleSmith and the UCP.

Canada cannot rely on the US as an ally anymore, and neither can any of its traditional allies, the big difference is that we're right next door and they've threatened our sovereignty. The US under Trump is a rogue state with Canada in the crosshairs. #cdnpoli #uspoli #eupoli #NATO
I lost track of the post I initially saw this linked from. Apologies.

This is yet another articulation of how desperately slow non-trump American leadership is to catching onto the gravity of the situation.

Every Canadian needs to read the NSS to understand what a threat the US is.

Real conservatives respect and defend courts
Danielle Smith does not, and that's democratically dangerous.

I love how the #UCP are reaping the benefits of their own legislation. 2025 has effectively been a rollercoaster of abject bullshit, but these recalls bring glimmers of joy to our dystopian present. #ABLeg #DanielleSmith #ABPoli #CanadaSky #CdnPoli #Canada #ElbowsUp

"As for Ms. Smith, the deal offers a way out of the trap in which she is now caught, as the darling of a separatist movement that is widely rejected in the province. Those boos? I’m guessing they were music to her ears."
