Without popular support for separation, she has seriously limited options. But Moscrop is exactly right: this is live ammo-stuff now, the way Brexit was, the way Trump as a candidate was. She is reckless, and part of a political movement of delusion and dishonesty. Very dangerous
Danielle Smith is playing fast and loose with the future of the country. It seems like a long shot that Alberta would vote to leave, but who knows what happens once you start down this path. It’s a live-ammo outing now.

Is Mark Carney a shrewd strategist or just lucky? Both, say those who know him
If the charming, meticulous and sometimes prickly economist lands the job of steering through a crisis, it wouldn’t be the first time

Surprised that @sproudfoot.bsky.social didn’t ask Carney what his favourite Simpson episode is or who is the better model: Marge or Lisa?
