Pay attention folks. Danielle Smith and the Alberta MAGA machine are using the Donbas playbook.
This isn't about "independence" it is about sedition and subservience to Trump.

💯 w @charlieangus104.bsky.social on this! What say you @paulbrandt1.bsky.social? Can’t use *our* flag if you support #Alberta’s separation from #Canada. No way! 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #ABpoli
Dear @paulbrandt1.bsky.social
CTV is reporting that you are cheering on those who would break up our country.
You should come clean with Canadians.
If you are cheering the quislings, stop cashing in on our beautiful flag.

She is a #quisling #traitor and ultimately a murderer for what she has done to health care in Alberta.
#abpoli
Danielle Smith is a traitor. She has been trashing the incredible "Alberta advantage" in education, health care, the rule of law. Now she is out to destroy our country.
Let's call this for what it is - sedition.

Canadians knew the idiot king would come swinging hard at Canada. US industry is dependent on Canadian aluminum. The 100% tariff is a disaster for them. Our warehouses are emptying out to meet European demand.
Economic war is war.
We will last one day longer and emerge one day stronger than MAGA.

Enough of these #quisling #traitors.
Trump is actively work to break our country apart. The plan has been in the works for a long time. There is a lot of dark money on the table.
Prime Minister Carney needs to deal with the quisling front group being used to sell our nation out.

Alexi Pretti was a loved and respected nurse helping critically ill veterans.
He was beaten and murdered on the streets of Minneapolis by paramilitaries in the employ of Donald Trump.
This is not a nation that can be trusted at any level.

Canada has become a leader on the global stage defending democracy. Trump will be turning his rage on us.
Canada's military are already planning out the "what ifs" - a counter-insurgency defence of Canada that will destroy the American empire.

Appeasement NEVER works. If you believe in history you know this to be true. We either fold and become the 51st state, or we stand and fight. I know where I stand - I stand with Charlie Angus’ mom! And, FWIW, I _like_ root vegetables!

Trump's EU threat raises a simple question that Canadians must answer: what are we willing to pay to remain free?
This is not a question for the business class it a question for citizens.

Canada will do the right thing. We will defend democratic allies from the threats of gangster nations. Either the United States gets Trump in hand or this will go to the next level.

@mark-carney.bsky.social absolutely needs to do this. No waffling, no hesitation. We must support and stand with our European allies against the gangster fascists. Stop pretending that the U.S. is a dependable ally.

Canadian exports globally increased a dramatic 14% while we inflicted billions of dollars of damage on the MAGA economy.
So needless to day, Trump is coming for us.
But we are helluva lot tougher now than we were last year at this time.

This is huge, especially for places like Canada's North.

As the article notes, many of the places this would be of value are struggling with even more basic needs, sadly, but teleoperated surgery has a huge potential to save lives in remote locations.

Conservatives would rather roll over than fight for our nation. Voters with the separatist Bloc Quebecois will stand with Canada.
I saw this on my parliamentary trips to Europe and NATO. None of Poilievre's MPs bothered to show up. Bloc MPs came and worked with us to advance a strong Canada agenda.

This is a huge victory.
