Time to go deep on the principles at play in the Alberta referendum to remain or begin leaving Canada. Latest post in The Good Resist 👇🎶👇 (link in the reply below)

Much less political science. Yet here we are.
When politics becomes a contest of which side is treasonous, nothing good follows.

Grand. Now ask former UK PM Liz Truss about Canada’s future.
Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, in office during the 2016 Brexit referendum, says Alberta’s potential separation from Canada should not be compared with Brexit. Speaking in Calgary, he said Brexit involved leaving a trade association, while Alberta’s proposed vote concerns the future of an entire country.

balsillieschool.ca/event/on-… Please, will someone in Waterloo confirm this is just bad comedy? Or is a university institute seriously discussing the UCP as traitors?
Srs Q: how can an Ontario post sec be holding a - serious? - discussion about "the quasi-separatist United Conservative Party" being "engaged in treason against the Canadian people"?? I understand there's a division of opinion about the UCP. "Treason" is not a serious approach.

Even if you want Alberta to stay in Canada, vote Option 2. It’s not a vote for separation. It’s a vote that the status quo with Ottawa is unacceptable — and it gives Premier Smith real leverage instead of sending Carney a message that everything is fine. Voting Option 1 is a surrender. My argument in the Calgary Herald: calgaryherald.com/news/local…

Not every doctor. Remember those Twitter doctors who bullied everyone else, though? They were the worst.
And now we’ve arrived at the grand theory: every bad pandemic decision was intentional deception, every doctor was complicit, and every correction afterward is merely the cover story. Convenient. Also unfalsifiable. Some policies were wrong. Some were prolonged too long. Some harms were underestimated. Those are legitimate criticisms. But “therefore healthcare providers knowingly lied for political purposes” is an accusation in search of evidence. Hindsight can reveal error. It does not, by itself, reveal conspiracy.

As far as I know, we are saddled with a much larger debt by staying!

Thanks to @HostageAid for remembering that it was five years ago this week we were released from wrongful detention in China, and even greater thanks to everyone who helped end the nightmare. Let us never cease to press for freedom for the many who are still unjustly detained.
Today marks the 5th freedom anniversary of Canadians Michael Kovrig & Michael Spavor. The 2 Michaels were unlawfully detained in China on Dec. 10, 2018 & after 1,019 days, they were thankfully released on Sept. 24, 2021. We are grateful that the 2 Michaels can celebrate freedom, but another Canadian hasn’t been able to celebrate anything for over 20 years. Huseyin Celil has been arbitrarily detained since 2006. Hostage Aid reiterates its call to @MarkJCarney & @AnitaAnandMP to work on bringing him home! @MichaelKovrig

Parliament’s Standing Committee on Science and Research has recommended the Government of Canada ban the use of demographic quotas and proportionality targets, and remove references to DEI in federal funding. This is huge. Let’s hope Parliament acts. ourcommons.ca/documentviewer…

Another $100M to Palestine⁉️ America: We are sanctioning the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority because they pay terrorists and educate their kids to be terrorists. Canada: We will give them $100M.

Gotta love it. Both KLF and @NVanCaroline running under a new Conservative leader to take out an NDP leader who fancied himself making Machiavellian moves.

Horizons Canada Forecasting talk… does even he believe it?
Mark Carney warns the world is entering a once-in-a-century upheaval, declaring the “post-war world is ending” amid a “climate emergency,” runaway AI, pandemics, wars and economic shocks. “Our collective prosperity is defined by what we choose to build."

Trump is attacking our jobs, driving up our costs and threatening our ability to make decisions for ourselves, in our own country, for our own people. He wants to make Canada and B.C. an extension of America. For B.C. and for Canada, this is an existential moment. We have to decide as a province how we respond, and British Columbians deserve a say. That's why today I called an election for October 24. When Trump came after Canada, I didn't flinch. We pulled American liquor off the shelves and hit back where it hurt. I'm working with the Prime Minister to hold the line, and we've got a plan to stand up to Trump, protect workers and businesses, and build a stronger B.C. that's less dependent on the U.S. It's making a difference. But the job is far from done. The conservative parties would cozy up to Trump, make cuts, raise costs and invite U.S. corporations into our health care. With Trump at our door, we cannot afford their chaos. That's the choice in front of us. Join me in standing up for Canada, in saying hell no to Donald Trump and his politics, and in building a stronger B.C. for all of us.

PM Carney claimed today that industrial carbon pricing has “zero” direct or indirect impact on food prices. That is not true. Ottawa’s own modelling estimated millions in carbon-pricing costs for food, beverage manufacturing in 2022, when the carbon tax was $20 per tonne. Now, it's $110 per tonne. Costs do not simply disappear. Source: Canada Gazette.

With an election almost certainly being called today by a Premier who has no business getting re-elected, the path forward is obvious. We all need to unite behind Lorne Doerkson, give him our full support and defeat the NDP.  Lorne is a good and decent man. He’s experienced, authentic, a practical thinker, beloved in his riding, and knows first-hand the impacts of the NDP’s destructive policies.  As an MLA from the Cariboo region, he has endured the NDP’s repeated rural ER closures that put his constituents’ lives in jeopardy. He’s seen families struggle to pay their bills as the forestry sector has cratered under the NDP’s watch. He’s seen citizens whose livelihoods depend on access to the land abandoned by the NDP’s secretive, undemocratic deals. Lorne understands - deeply and personally - what’s at stake in this election.  This is our chance to defeat David Eby. This is our chance, finally, to restore good government to BC after years of NDP incompetence.  Let’s - all of us - get behind Lorne and get this over the line.

We will not replace our most important trading relationship with a strategic partnership for a “new world order” with the dictatorship in Beijing. We must fight for tariff-free trade with our allies to build a strong and secure Western alliance.
