Hi there! I'm new here and thought I should introduce myself. I'm Cree, Metis, and Dene, married with many children and grandchildren. Our dog, Sage is a St. Bernard mix. I'm an educational developer and commute between Calgary and Edmonton. Trying to stay hopeful in spite of it all.

9/9 So is this an Alberta MP simply commenting on an Ontario case under investigation, arguing for truth and accountability?
Nopers.
It's an Alberta MP exploiting an unproven allegation & a painful family moment as a political talking point.
Shame, shame, shame.
Take down the post, Rachael.

Three facts:
(1) There are no citizen-led petitions this October. Elections Alberta rejected the only one (@waternotcoalab.bsky.social).
(2) ALL referenda were written and put forward by Premier Smith and her team.
(3) No one asked for these questions.

The last time the Americans tried to claim Lake Ontario in 1813, we intentionally lured them into Fort York and then blew up our entire gunpowder magazine to kill as many Americans as possible.
A foundation part of Toronto history is "blowing our own fort to smithereens rather than being American"
