The Breakdown AB@thebreakdownab.bsky.social · 5h agoSmith - There are 246,000 temporary workers with 48,000 kids in the education system & they visited hospitals 300,000 times. That math doesn't math. So every single temporary workers and every single kid visited a hospital at least once? She's' right. That math doesn't math.
So many questions Why is @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social legitimizing this? Why is the U of A student union having a lawyer who is advocating for USA interference (Keith Wilson), and why are comments closed? Still waiting for CBC to stop propping him up?
Sick of of Kenney and Wilson echo chamber? The Wilson USA interference/ anti treaty advocacy being regurgitated as a legitimate position? If you must platform them at least give them a proper opponent. gladly debate these men. Any day. Or 👇 @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social @maxfawcett.bsky.social ?
Canadians from coast to coast -- and even on the prairies -- are united in their desire to fight back against the United States and defend their sovereignty. So why do some members of the business community seem so determined to surrender? #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/22/o...
Canada’s business elites still seem to want us to surrender
Canadians are largely united behind their federal government's decision to stand up to Donald Trump. The business community seems decidedly less enthusiastic.

Funny, because the Truckers got three weeks to hang out before police lifted a finger. Interesting.
Judy Trinh@judytrinh.bsky.social · 15h agoSeniors who were protesting Mark Carney’s Bill c39 and fast tracking of environmental reviews arrested and charged with trespassing on Parliament Hill.
The @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social are both siding so hard they are hosting a c seppie debate with Kenney. Sure, defund cbc if they don’t find a backbone. Sometimes, there’s an objectively good side and a bad side Spoiler. The side advocating for Trump interfering is the bad side (Wilson) #ableg

He's just openly speculating here based on nothing and riffing off of Carney's comments. Just spectacularly useless.
Minister says he's working with G7 to set up AI safety organization
OTTAWA - Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon said he spoke with his international counterparts in the G7 on Tuesday about setting up an organization to tackle AI safety.
thecanadianpressnews.ca
The changes to the Canada Labour Code in this new bill are “without precedent in Canadian law and they’re without precedent even amongst our trading partners in the G7.” “It provides the complete and unlimited discretion to the federal minister to decide who gets to go on strike and who does not.”
As a woman, I’m furious at the fake emotional performance. This is where Smith’s true character shines through: tough when attacking, victim when challenged, crocodile tears when the heat is on. Fake as a Rolex bought from a guy in a trench coat. #ABPoli womenofabpoli.substack.com/p/in-politic...
In politics, image is everything
Danielle Smith has miscalculated the moment she created for herself.

Indeed. It is. Thank you for recognizing it! And please spread the word.
Emmett Macfarlane 🇨🇦@emmettmacfarlane.com · 2d agoWhat's happening in Alberta is even more batshit than I ever thought. Danielle Smith is a dangerous psychopath, and the AB separatist movement largely exists because COVID broke far-right brains, and is led by Christo-fascist religious white nationalists, relying on dark money. 2/n
NO evidence to support UCP & separatists (hateful) lies about immigrants. "The evidence on this point is consistent. Migrants in high-income countries are, on average, healthier than host populations and contribute more economically than they consume in services." healthydebate.ca/2026/04/topi...
Alberta can’t rely on immigrant workers while denying them health care - Healthy Debate
Alberta cannot build a functioning health system by recruiting newcomers to sustain it while denying some the care they need to live, work and stay.

I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess.
Toronto Star@thestar.com · yesterdayThe federal government tabled new legislation Monday to make sweeping changes to environmental and labour rules, in Mark Carney’s latest effort to remove what he sees as barriers to development in pursuit of his pro-growth agenda.

“Sylvestre also says he’s on the record a hundred times saying he does not want to start an Alberta separatist party and wants nothing to do with a new party.” Separatists are inherently lazy. Going the Quebec route by starting a party and winning an election is too much work for these grifters.

The only reason it should be taken seriously is because of foreign interference. It’s illegal www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: Why we should stop taking Alberta separatism seriously
Albertans are not a ‘people’ in a way that international law would recognize

If you think the seppies care what’s legal, they don’t. Because Alberta has no right to secede and there is no planet on which they have a right to a unillateral declaration of informed. They will do it with Trump’s help when he comes to save us. That’s the problem with this whole 🐂 💩 referendum
Orlagh O’Kelly@orlaghokelly.bsky.social · 2d agoGeez. Now? …. ! Keith Wilson has been taking about this since at least December 2025 and Rath/Modry since June 2025, and I have been screaming about it since then. secession reference para 154 and 155 they say! Links in comments.
Last but not least, Nigel Bankes report on the issue of self determination. Spoiler! Alberta ain’t a “people” on any definition. If paras 154 and 155 apply to anyone, it’s Indigenous people in. Canada! @nigelb.bsky.social Can We please Stop Repeating Wilson Unchecked ? acfn.com/submission-o...

And ya, this is what the Supreme Court says about unilateral secession. Not legal for Alberta. Lawyers openly advocating for something unlawful. Go figure Reference re Secession of Quebec, 1998 CanLII 793 (SCC), [1998] 2 SCR 217, at para 154, <https://canlii.ca/t/1fqr3#par154>

Jared Wesley@jaredwesley.ca · 3d agoWhy separatists bent on convincing us of the stability of the transition to independence are now openly musing about a unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) is beyond me. www.stalbertgazette.com/alberta-deci...
I agree with @althiaraj.bsky.social that throwing the airport privatization announcement into Carney's investment summit was an "own goal". youtube.com/watch?v=pmBP.... It badly muddled his "build Canada" message, because this has nothing to do with "building." #cdnpoli #canlab /2
My orange-pedo loving sister said she has to vote R to stop trans people. Me: "I don't fucking care what people want to do with their own fucking bodies. It's none of your fucking business. You thinking you have a say in this is the stupidest thing I've ever fucking heard." 🤬
