Not Your Enemy. Today, we’re taking off the labels. We’re stripping off the jerseys. We’re reaching across provincial borders and moving through both sides of the 49th Parallel. And today…we’re giving you back something that they quietly took away from you.

Mayor Farkas gave Calgary the scary numbers. We read the assumptions underneath them. Mayor Farkas leaned on the University of Calgary's worst-case separation number and a Calgary Chamber poll of one hundred thirty-seven people. The report itself admits, in its own final section, that it can't predict the future, so it borrowed its scariest scenario from Quebec's two failed referendums, Scotland's failed referendum, and a British trade exit that doesn't match Alberta's circumstances. It had Alberta's own year-plus-long live experiment in separation uncertainty sitting in its own backyard, and didn't use it. Meanwhile the real bill never gets a mention: a trillion dollars in investment gone, a country falling from ninth to twenty-seventh in quality of life, and manufacturers, a head office, and a pipeline already lost under the arrangement he's defending.

Mayor Farkas - Ghost Story Calgary was given the scary numbers. Tonight, we show you what was underneath them.

Mark Carney says the government will press ahead with the Safe Social Media Act this fall. It's sold as a bill to protect kids. Its own critics say that's only the label underneath is an ID check for every adult, a regulator that doesn't exist yet, and fines big enough to make platforms delete lawful speech rather than defend it.

To keep kids off social media, platforms first have to figure out who isn't a kid and that could mean checking everyone.

Wait. So he only starts reporting finances from today? Nothing from the last 4 months? AYFKM???

Another 34 years…the math actually says that this is possible. I’m 53, in 34 years, that puts me close to 90. Definitely achievable and of all of the people on the planet I’d do this with…it’s my wife.

Mimosas with Mrs. YakkStack. 34th anniversary this weekend. She’s earned the drink. I’m responsible for her needing it. A match made in…well, whatever.

In 2021, 2 out of every 3 Alberta Voters wanted to end equalization. Ottawa ignored us. Option 2 gives us the ability to carry that back to Ottawa - With Teeth, this time.

Today... we announce the winner of our first contest and dig through the basket of comments for today's viewer-selected topic. We couldn't find anything uplifting enough to send you into the weekend... so we chose one ourselves. Have an amazing weekend, Canada!

No shit, hey?

The decision on joining the European Union will ultimately be decided by a parliamentary majority Canadians did not elect as a majority at the ballot box. And Canadians themselves won't get a direct vote. You're going to want to watch all of this.

In 2022, we were assured that Russia was broke and that the war would end. For the last 4 years, the rest of the planet has been funding the Ukraine side of the war and Russia is still banking themselves. Guys…I think they may have been lying to us.
