Husband, father of three amazing adults, music lover 🎸 and proud Canadian 🇨🇦 and these days an embarrassed Albertan. Sadly these day, a bit of a political geek.

Max Fawcett: "She consistently has told Albertans that 'you have a right to be angry...with British Columbians, you have a right to be angry with Ontarions, you have a right to be angry with anyone in *this* country, but you don't have a right to be angry at Trump or the Americans."

While Trump wants to bill back the EU for arms Biden sent Ukraine, let us remember what Canada did for us on 9/11, no charge to us for feeding and housing thousands of people for 4-5 days.

The entire trump administration can fuck off, and keep fucking off all the way to the point where they can fuck off no longer, and then find new directions where they can continue to keep fucking the right off!

Gerrymandering in Alberta?
The UCP is moving to redraw electoral boundaries, and political scientists Dr. @jaredwesley.ca and Dr. Feo Snagovsky say the province could be in “a heap of trouble.”
Are you concerned?

Mickey Amery is shamelessly abusing his power as the Minister of Justice to protect himself.
That's not justice, that's corruption.

First, trying to solve a problem from 2 years ago!
Second, instead of owning their decisions, they are going to pass the buck to the citizens. Coward!
And I don’t think Albertans will respond the way Marlaina expects.
Last, immigration is what built this province.

Recently, UCP government advertised that “Alberta is open for business”, wanting to grow Alberta’s population to 10 million by 2030.
Now, influx on new Canadians is blamed for overcrowded hospitals, schools, and deficit.
In reality, mismanagement is the culprit, not immigrants.

There is so much to unpack from Smith's TV address. It was a firehose of information. But one thing I need to emphasize. A referendum question to introduce an Alberta head tax on immigration!
