This includes myself, and many of my fellow Albertans. Danielle Smith is a traitor to this country, and has violated her oath of office. Albertans must remove her party from power at the earliest opportunity. She has no honor, nor the party that supports her. #abpoli #ableg
Cult MTL@cultmtl.com · 2d ago“A majority of Canadians agree that Danielle Smith has betrayed Canada.”
Good piece. When academics and journalists use the phrase "polarization" they are misnaming what has happened and they are adopting the assumptions of authoritarians. Stop describing radicalization on the right as "polarization."
Kevin Elliott@kjephd.bsky.social · 2d agoCas is absolutely right. Here's a great new paper (open access, so freely available to all) that makes the case: doi.org/10.1017/S153...
Of course Smith would say she’s confused. She’s laying a path for Alberta to join the US, so why would she be concerned about threats to Canadian sovereignty? #cdnpoli #abpoli

YES to Canada 🇨🇦, reason, and compassion❗ NO to the 9❗ As the (ridiculous) Alberta referendum nears, let's keep the message simple. VOTE❗ Much of the motivation for referendum based on xenophobic and regressive BS. My take 👉 thewalrus.ca/albertas-sep... cc @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social

The argument that Donald Trump invaded Canada today is much more compelling than many realize. The border between Canada and the United States runs through the middle of Lake Ontario. By claiming to have the power to rename the entire lake, Trump is claiming the lake. That's invasion by declaration.

Your reminder that Albertans vote on a referendum next month on whether the province should cut off temporary residents from health care and education — without knowing if Danielle Smith would do that to the 260,000 migrants already in Alberta. (Her office won't say) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.
Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Young Calgary driver on Reddit, talking about the MONTHLY auto insurance quotes he's getting on a Honda Civic: "...the lowest I’m being quoted is $600. The median is like $1,200. One company quoted me $2,000 a month, and had the gall to call me to talk about it, safe to say I hung up on them."

This chart got a lot of response when I posted it a couple of months ago, so I kept digging beyond just Calgary. Turns out the Alberta-wide data tells much the same story, which I think helps explain the province’s recent mood. I fleshed out my thoughts here. Would be interested in yours!

Robson Fletcher@robsonfletcher.com · 3mo agoCalgarians continue to have the highest incomes among major Canadian cities — but they’re earning significantly less than they were at their peak. This, I think, gets at a fundamental disconnect in the national conversation about Alberta’s sense of frustration. 🧵

Difficult stories are not obstacles to democratic education. Learning how to communicate about them are conditions for it.

The federal govt did what it needed to in order to facilitate it, but the provinces themselves have to negotiate some of it between each other and that's what is remaining to be done. So, per usual, it's the provinces not doing their jobs.
