To the folks saying "turn off the taps" I appreciate the sentiment - however AB oil flows through the US to get to Ontario and Quebec refineries. It is currently not an option.
With the application of *literal* Smoot Hawley tariffs and an inevitable stock market collapse due to unhinged financial speculation and deregulation, we now have 2 of the 3 conditions that created the Great Depression. Gosh, good thing there aren't any water or land management issues... #cdnpoli

Premiers looking for a tariff battle plan from Carney during sit-down in P.E.I. | CBC News
Canada's premiers are sitting down with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday in Charlottetown, where they're hoping for more insight into how he plans to negotiate with U.S. President Donald Trump.

I see some online commentators are unhappy with Carney and that he is a “closet Conservative”. If you actually want to know what Liberal type he is may I introduce to an introductory Canadian History reader? Start with the Louis St. Laurent chapter then on to Lester B Pearson.

Timeline cleanse: my rose garden. You can tell its an Alberta rose garden by the polls for the hail netting.
Dear US - here is a map of wildfires in Alaska sending smoke our way. Please submit your forest raking and fire suppression plan first so we can apply your well thought out solutions. #canada
Watching yet another Alberta-approved gambling ad on TV. Given the UCP's constant, relentless corruption I can only imagine the dollars and favours that have changed hands for licencing rights and government support. #abpoli
I'm back in sales and I want to write a LinkedIn article called "The 10 Secret Numbers to Get an Instant Answer: This one trick your smartphone can do will blow your mind" (Hint: it's called dialling. Pick up the frickin' phone if you need a quick answer)
The Americans are demanding half the profits from the Gordie Howe bridge to get access to the US - and we didnt hear a word of protest out of Adam Schiff. So i guess it'd be ok we demand half the profits of the California wine industry to gain access to Canada? #cdnpoli

I think it kind of sucks that the US men's team were cast as the villians against Belgium through no fault of their own. It was Trump who tried to put his thumb on the scale, not them.
Does anyone have a number for the owner of Engage Interactive? I'd like to call him and talk non stop for 5 minutes while ignoring everything he says.
It's Canada Day Eve! Dont forget to leave a lump of something in a separatist's stocking. #abpoli
It stopped raining 60 minutes ago and I just had to close the windows because of wildfire smoke.
Ive come to the conclusion that Mark Carney's superpower isnt the Economics PhD or two tours as a central bank governor - its his major DGAF energy when negotiating with the dipsticks running Washington.
My 26 year old daughter just called to say her car insurance went up $100 a month. No accidents, no claims not even paid damage. It's a 2008, FFS. So thanks again UCP for removing all price caps and oversight.

Dear CBC - your Gem streaming platform is all kind of broken. Have to reboot it at least once per episode.
Not up on my American sports etiquette - do they play the national anthem before the White House Wet Tshirt Contest or once they podium?
The goal of Alberta's separatists is not a rising tide that lifts all boats but rather deliberately sinking the boats of those they hate. I keep seeing economic arguments - I'd like to see the human ones.
Corey Hogan 🇨🇦@coreyhogan.ca · 2mo agoThe United States has a higher GDP than Canada, but the average Canadian is better off. As we grow wealth through new major projects and new trade agreements, let's continue to make sure we all benefit.

Back up over $1.70 a litre for gas in Calgary. The COOP must be having issues getting its tankers through the Strait of Hormuz again. #ableg
Looking forward to the new Alberta drivers licence because the UCP have done such a *fantastic* job protecting my personal data so far. What could possibly go wrong? #ableg
So I got an email from HP telling me how many pages I printed at home last month. Really? What other information are they tracking? Did it send a copy of scans? The convenience is not worth yet another US conglomerate grabbing my data. I've now disabled/deleted all HP software and internet access.
I keep hearing over and over again that we Albertans have "legitimate greivances". Could someone please explain what these might be beyond the constant right wing butt-hurt or a pipeline in every pot?
In line to pick up my Forever Canada sign on 4 degrees and rain and all i can say is separatists you are screwed #ableg
Interesting fact: after the Civil War slavery was *not* outlawed in the US - it remained fully legal for the incarcerated. These people - whose only crime is being from elsewhere aren't just detainees - they are literally a new slave class. This isnt by accident.
