Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist
Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story — one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.

This is a wise move on Finland’s part. Hopefully, it won’t be too expensive.
Finland uses “Russia-gauge” rails. They are going to move to European compatible rail gauge for their own resilience.
This is what we should be thinking about for moving to open social away from American platforms: it should come with significant spending commitments & is absolutely necessary.

@nolore.bsky.social Hey Nora. That was a great podcast you and Sandy did on yesterday’s federal budget. I agree with you two that the budget is meh at best, problematic at worst.
I don't think it's bad enough for the average Canadian to take to the streets, though.
