For #Canada this basically means the US may or may not notify when they use the Northwest Passage.
They won’t ask, they’ll just do.

We're Russia now. A rogue state run by a dictator who invades sovereign nations without provocation, openly corrupt, selling off the nation to its oligarchs, squashing free speech, attacking political enemies, crushing dissidents/LGBT/minorities, state Christianity, even a white/blue/red flag. 🇷🇺🇺🇸🤬🤮

Trump: “Something will have to be done about Mexico,” says Donald Trump, after the capture of Nicolás Maduro and attacks on Venezuela

In an interview with Fox News, Trump assured that the cartels govern Mexico.

“I have asked her on numerous occasions: 'Do you want us to eliminate the cartels?'”

Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The pair is outside, holding toy guns and calvin is wearing a soldier’s helmet. Hobbes asks, ‘how come we play war and not peace?” After staring into the middle distance for a second, Calvin recovers himself and confidently declares ‘too few role models.’ He then proceeds to explain rules of the game. While looking all tough, with his hands on his hips a glare on the little of his face visible from under his toy helmet he begins: ‘I’ll be the fearless american defender of liberty and democracy. And uou can be the loathsome godless communist oppressor.’ Hobbes looks straight at the reader with some puzzlement on his little furry face. ‘We’re at war,’ Calvin continues, ‘so if you get hit with s dart you’re dead and the other side wins, ok?’ ‘Gotcha,’ Hobbes affirms, dart gun poised for action. They both shout at each other, stare in some consternation at the dart now stuck on their tiny bodies, and then observe “kind of a stupid game, isn’t it?”

This really disgusts me. After the #ForeverCanadian campaign was kept out or public buildings so they wouldn’t appear to support a political campaign, a major Calgary building allows the separatists in?
Who operates the BMO Centre?
Is it City of Calgary?
@lukaszukab.bsky.social your thoughts?

I sent a complaint to BMO that it’s inappropriate for a major Canadian bank to have a building with their name on it, host an Alberta separatist event. @bankofmontreal.bsky.social needs to state which side are they on. Canada or separatists?

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

At this point, it’s pure evil. Smith & Co. have lost all compassion and empathy. Albertans aren't people to them; we’re just numbers in a system they’re letting fail. #ABleg #ABpoli

Same thought process as Dani & the #UCP.
Why would I ask teachers about education, healthcare professionals about healthcare delivery, engineers about infrastructure, or scientists about the environment when I can ask the UCP base to determine what’s best? 🙄

More shit from @theatlantic.com about Canada.
This one written by the guy who coined the bogus phrase the "axis of evil" for the Bush war machine.
Maybe the Atlantic wants to add "treacherous" Canada to this axis.

Pipe built in the 1970s bursts in 2024, so naturally the premier blames the mayor who left that office in 2021.

As a canvasser, I received my credentials 2 wks into the campaign. As the 1st major petition, we faced constant barriers. Without those constraints, the signature count would have doubled. That conviction will carry me forward against continued separatist propaganda. #ForeverCanadian #ABleg #ABpoli
Infographic titled “Despite the Barriers, We Succeeded” featuring the Forever Canadian logo at the top, a red maple leaf with a flame symbol. The graphic states that the campaign was “Grassroots and volunteer-organized, not an established organization.” It highlights a total of 456,388 signatures gathered across Alberta, both rural and urban. Three columns describe barriers faced during the campaign. The first column, Accessibility Barriers, lists delayed volunteer accreditation, restricted access to public venues, and no entry to Legions, malls, care homes, or businesses. The second column, Financial Barriers, notes a zero advertising budget, reliance on capped donations under financial rules, and volunteers self-funding tables, forms, pens, and signage. The third column, Awareness Barriers, states there was no centralized marketing, reliance on organic social media, and that the new petition required education and public trust. Below the columns, the infographic notes that volunteers showed up consistently and self-organized across communities. The final section states that without these barriers, the signature count would have at least doubled, and concludes with the statement, “Grassroots democracy works—when people are allowed to participate.”

ALBERTA PROSPERITY PROJECT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How Long Will It Take For Alberta To Become Independent? Timeline being kept thanks to Danielle Smith and the UCP 1. Fall 2025 - Summer 2026: Alberta conducts an honest and successful referendum on independence with a clear and unmistakable question. According to the Clarity Act 2000, a successful referendum js required to legally and morally launch negotiations between Alberta and Ottawa. 2. Summer 2026 - Summer 2027: After an overwhelming majority of Albertans vote for independence, Alberta enters into good-faith negotiations with Canada, the provinces, and Indigenous peoples/egarding separation and the details surrounding it. While negotiations are taking place, Alberta begins building an Alberta Revenue Agency, police force, pension fund, and other critical components of a nation. <Added note: “Timeline being kept thanks to Danielle Smith and the UCP”> 3. Summer 2027- Beyond: If negotiations are successful and the provinces agree to Alberta separation, a Constitutional amendment will occur and Alberta will be declared a sovereign nation.

Anybody read the latest on Trump’s lawsuit with the Pulitzer Prize Board?

Their recent reply asked for Trump’s tax returns, Psychological records, prescription medication history. 😂

Perfect reply. Basically saying “you’re f’ing crazy”.

Danielle Smith, if you insist on having this divisive and economically damaging referendum on Alberta’s unquestionable place in Canada, bring it on, but make sure to ask the first approved question, condoned by nearly half million #ForeverCanadian Albertans.
