Confederation is like a family. Ultimatums, threats and escape plans are not a way to make a family work.
Premier Smith should ask herself what her intentions are here. Is she comfortable with where this might lead?
Are we, as Albertans?
Let’s be constructive. Canada is worth it.

Danielle Smith, if there ever was benefit of doubt given to Mickey Amery it is now gone. Your justice minister, who oversees all legal matters related to the Tylenol/surgical suites scam, is related to and friends with the subject of this investigation.
Time to resign.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

FWIW this is what Shapiro had to say about the US annexing Canada:
“I feel they will greet us as liberators”
“It’s a silly country”
“I’m not saying Canadians should vote in American elections. God forbid. We can annex it and just call it an outlying territory. Like Puerto Rico, but of the north.”

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

What prompted the anger (and, in a few cases, startling claims CBC was engaged in 'treason,' 'sedition' and 'betrayal') were two things: the program title and the proposed question to the audience.
