Well I did it. I voted today in Alberta’s referendum. 2-1/2 hr wait, spruce meadows! No washrooms! Yes to 9, option #2 #AlbertaIndependence
This is where Canada is at! Send help!
Let me get this straight -- Mark Carney, a guy who was heli dropped into Canadian politics from the UK
who fired an Indian guy and stole his riding
who then got elected with a minority government but stole a majority through floor crossing
is entering into a 100 year agreement with Ukraine, and a "new partnership" with the EU
all without parliament in session?
Well, it seems if you disagree with Kenney you get blocked.
What the man needs is a muzzle and a book…how to win friends and influence people.
I’m just sooo disappointed I ever championed him and voted for him!
Wake up! Michigan, texas…NY. This is not assimilation this is dominance and control
You assholes better wake the fuck up! Mamdani didn't run for Mayor of NY because he cares about poor people. He conned you fucking dummies into making him the mayor of the most influential city in the country so he would have a platform large enough to promote his ideology & advance his communist Islamic agenda nationwide & destroy the whole country.
And you fucking morons are so stupid you're buying into his bullshit and taking the bait, hook, line, and sinker!
Dumbest fucking people on earth!!
A short summary of an abusive relationship
That’s not even close to the whole story. For most of us, one, two, three, or even ten pipelines changes nothing.
When oil crashed in 2014, the industry had tens of thousands of layoffs. The province was hurting but there were signs of hope: Northern Gateway, Energy East, and TMX.
Northern Gateway had its approval cancelled by Trudeau.
Energy East was cancelled because Ottawa wanted to count upstream and downstream emissions, which put the project on shaky ground.
But the coup de grace came when Québec’s prime minister at the time, François Legault said that there was “no social acceptability for a pipeline.”
TC cancelled it shortly after.
Finally, we fought over TMX because Ottawa wouldn’t assert its jurisdiction.
Trudeau let Horgan and BC make it so risky to try to build TMX that Kinder Morgan had to pull out.
Nobody wanted the federal government to buy the pipeline, they should have simply enforced the conditions to ensure it was safe for Kinder Morgan to proceed.
Albertans had stayed quiet for a long time over equalization because Ottawa was staying out of our faces, so it was just the price to pay to operate in this country.
But when came time to help Alberta after the oil crash, the whole nation turned its back on us and proceeded to crush the three beacons of hope we were counting on to turn the corner.
That’s when a lot of us started paying closer attention to politics to figure out how to get our voices heard.
It didn’t take very long before we started looking at seats in the House of Commons and the Senate and realizing how unequal and unfair our representation is in Ottawa.
Bottom line is that we’re effectively screwed and that the people we subsidize through equalization continuously vote for governments that attack our industry.
Fixing the constitutional mess is impossible because it would require either Ontario or Québec and all the maritime provinces to vote in favour of curtailing their own political power. It will never happen.
In 2019, we figured that Canada was going to be smart enough to realize that Trudeau was a disaster and we’d get back some common sense.
Wrong. Trudeau was voted in for a second time.
If you were in the oil and gas industry at the time, you probably had your first taste of western alienation with the Wexit movement instantly polling above 30% in support of independence.
Next up is covid and that’s when all hell broke loose with the spending, the OIC to prohibit common guns, etc.
Albertans’ living standards were the most impacted by Trudeau and now Carney’s insane deficit spending.
We watched as Trudeau pranced around on the world stage, virtue-signalling with our money while the cost of living was sky rocketing.
In FY 2024-2025, we watched the Liberals send $13B abroad between gender equality and climate change foreign aid, while running a $36.3B deficit.
We had one last hope with Pierre looking like he was going to get elected and stop the bleeding. But they parachuted Carney in and the rest is history.
The country’s finances are in shambles and it would take 3 generations to fix this mess if we started today by doing the obvious, which Ottawa is still refusing to do.
Ottawa is fiscally irresponsible and now headed down a very dangerous path of authoritarianism with all the bills that were passed in this parliamentary session.
Alberta independence supporters see the writing on the wall and don’t care about any number of pipelines.
Once you’ve looked close enough at the system, you realize it can’t be fixed and there’s no coming back from realizing the true extent of the mess Canada is in.
The Canada we grew up in doesn’t exist anymore. It is a sinking ship and independence is the only way to save Alberta.
This thread is absolutely bang on! The mental disconnect and deception from the liberal party and their supporters is Canadas downfall! Please have your liberals spayed or neutered.
Replying to @grok
What would coverage look like if that same level of scrutiny was applied equally to the Liberals? Short answer.

Canada is no longer a democracy! This is how Venezuela fell and we are living it in real time! Alberta needs to separate!
Another Canadian floor crosser! Not one shot fired and yet Canadians are now witnessing and experiencing how a country can go from a democracy to a dictatorship. #SOSCanada
This!!!
🇨🇦 I wish I could go back in time to when I didn’t care and had zero knowledge of politics or world events.
Back to when I couldn’t care less who our Prime Minister was, had no clue who my local MP was and even less of a clue as to what the different parties were called.
Back to when rent, mortgage, food and even an occasional fun-in-the-sun family vacation was attainable for so many. Sometimes a mother could even stay home and raise her own children while the husband’s wages provided a comfortable life for the entire family!
Back to when things made sense. Men didn’t invade women’s spaces. Mental illness wasn’t celebrated or encouraged. People didn’t come to Canada just to run scams, commit crime and take advantage while demanding we be more like where they came from.
Back to when our PM could sit right in the stands with everyone else at a hockey game, singing the national anthem as “in all thy sons command” and the players weren’t pressured into wearing special interest, virtue signalling jerseys for fear of being shamed and cancelled.
Back to when Canadians didn’t know of at least 1 friend or family member who died of an overdose. Seeing a beggar, never mind at every other intersection, was rare and fascinating. When you didn’t even realize there were food banks in your town until you started noticing the line ups. When tent cities weren’t even a thing.
Back to when ( yes, I’m going to say it ) Canada wasn’t broken.
