Unfortunately Bill 14 does away with the rule that you can’t have two referendums on the same issue within five years. The Forever Canadian question that is now before the Legislature is very clear: “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?”

No, what the fuck is the UCP doing.

An obvious bluff. If it comes to that, the US needs NORAD more than we do. Also, the US can no longer be considered an ally.

Bessent is on record saying that Alberta should separate from Canada and join the United States, and the UCP government is doing its best to make that happen. The way to put a stop to this is by mobilizing. Last year we collected nearly half a million signatures for the question “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?” to be put to a referendum. The initiative was approved by Elections Alberta and it is now before the Alberta Legislature. The campaign continues. Please join us at forever-canadian.ca .

This would be a terrible concession to a corporation that produces AI agents that drive teenagers to suicide. There are people in the government that still believe that the best way to deal with Trump and his corporate associates is to appease them. The evidence is clear that this assumption is horribly misguided.

Why on Earth would anyone go to Google for news.

The Forever Canadian citizens’ initiative to call a referendum on the question “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?” collected over 400,000 signatures and was approved and sent to the Speaker of the Legislature by Elections Alberta. The UCP government must call either a vote in the Legislature or a referendum on the question by law. The only way they can avoid this is by calling a general election. Albertans can and will stop this separation nonsense.

Just do it. Put something like Linux Mint on your Mac. It’ll work fine. And it’s free.

They should sue. ALF is an independent entity, funding grants with the interest on trust accounts held by lawyers. It is definitely not the government’s money.

That was 3 days ago. This is now: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-greenland-soldiers-trump-tariff-nato-denmark-9.7050621

In view of this Danielle Smith’s flirting with separatism is downright treasonous.

I think the time has come for the UN to expel the United States. As Secretary General Anotnio Guterres stated, as long as the US is a member of the UN, it has a legal obligation to fund those agencies. The US owes $1.5 billion in dues.

I honestly do not understand why the Government tries to appease Trump. What possible benefit to Canadians is there in this.

The article itself has many caveats. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to an attention-grabbing headline.

This is the part that I find interesting:

If Cisco ultimately proves its larger target, the project could anchor a domestic lithium supply chain linking Quebec mines and battery factories.

Or, you could just get up and flip the damn switch. And if you want it warmer turn up the thermostat. This is not hard.

Before everyone gets their knickers in a twist, no, the referendum question has not been approved. The application has been approved. Now they have to collect the necessary signatures. What has collected the necessary signatures and been validated by Elections Alberta is the opposite motion, “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?” By law, this has to go either to a vote in the Legislature (which is extremely unlikely) or a referendum within six months. Many people believe the UCP willl call an election rather than a referendum, as all referendum questions die when an election is called.

Carney instead touted carbon capture and storage — a key condition of the Alberta agreement — as well as nuclear power generation.

What rubbish. CCUS is a fossil fuel industry scam (https://environmentaldefence.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Buyer-Beware-FFS-2022.pdf), and Carney should know it. Nuclear power generation needs to be heavily subsidized to compete with other energy sources, and of course it’s not renewable, and Carney should know that too.
