Premier Ed Stelmach, thank you for donating a tank of gas for the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus and for joining us at the Andrew garlic festival 🧄 That’s what principled leadership is all about.

Volunteers, thank you for braving the cold and collecting signatures!

Harvesting #ForeverCanadian signatures at the Andrew Garlic Festival. It’s a stinky job, but somebody has to do it.

What is Constitutional?

It's NOT what the Constitution says is Constitutional.

It's what at least 5 Supreme Court Justices SAY is Constitutional.

The Left has focused on the document. The Right has focused on bending the Justices.

Keep in mind that ICE now has a budget larger than every military in the world except the US and Chinese militaries.

Things are going to get much worse. I'm not saying this to create fear, it's fact.

The administration is at war with Americans.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

US Distilled Spirits Council analysis of Canada’s boycott of US alcohol does not make reference to the US’s threats of aggression to economically destroy and annex Canada. This was the major impetus for the boycott of US goods and services.

Guys… I know Trump likes to pretend he’s a tin-pot dictator, but you could just say “threatening Canadian sovereignty has been very bad for our export business.”

It’s true, and I think a lot more of us have to start telling the truth down here.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Another journalist is forced to the ground and arrested by ICE in Chicago. Her name is Debbie Brockman from WGN-TV.

ICE put a photojournalist in NYC in the hospital.

They’re attacking the press.

They’re attacking immigrants.

They’re attacking citizens.

A thing I'd add to @maxfawcett.bsky.social's article is BC, while antagonistic to a north coast crude pipeline, is quietly going along with actual, real efforts to maximize the existing TMX pipeline, via preparations for dredging to allow full loading of existing tankers. AB could mess that up.

Max Fawcett @maxfawcett.bsky.social · 2d

Danielle Smith keeps saying she wants a new pipeline. But her actions suggest what she's really after is a renewed fight with Canada -- even if it ends up costing her the pipeline she claims to care so much about.

#cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/09/o...

Danielle Smith wants a fight with Canada, not a new pipeline

Alberta's premier has opened the door in her party and province to separatists. Now, she's claiming that other people are the ones threatening Canada's future.

Today, I drove the Unity Bus to Red Deer, Innisfail, Sylvan Lake, Rimbey and Rocky Mountain House. Alberta is energized by the #ForeverCanadian movement.

Volunteers, thank you for your hard work and commitment to Canada!

We’re proving that political engagement can be positive.
