Interesting. I have been focusing on Canadian history lately, although I have also read quite a lot about our collective history, especially issues of the formation of NATO.

Thank you. That is a great quote, and I will look up Salvemini.

#abpoli Do something government of Alberta. Do something.

Oh, please, what? Sit back and let you call all Albertans separatists? That is flat out wrong.

It further helps their cause when people from out east lump us into one giant mass. Just like easterners, individuals Albertans are unique.

Are you calling me a separatist?

I live in Alberta. So I am one part of Alberta. I don't want to separate and from polling neither do the majority.

So no. The statement "Alberta does not want to be part of Canada" is false. Please don't further inflame the issue.

A caveat, as a student representative, I can not represent any other party at this time. My "party" is the RDP Student Association. But I am allowed to do some background connection so assist with this.

Bad wording. Our collection group IS opposition and potential future candidates. So we are talking to them as prep for the next election or any byelections. Hopefully, we can boot LaGrange or Stephan. We are working on it hard.

That alone, finding the voters who are fed up even in a 70% blue city, is a huge win. We are feeding them straight to opposition candidates.

For example, the 87 year old woman who came with 100 signatures she collected in her senior's complex and cried because she FINALLY felt heard. Our collection group has many other such stories. And I live in RED DEER, the bastion of the hard right. 100's of people have come out to sign.

You should listen to Thomas explain it. No point me trying to rephrase his strategy. I'm not making the point well.

What I can tell you is that my group collecting signatures has amazing stories of people who have never felt heard.

If they vote it down, Smith will look like more of an idiot since she said she is not a separatist. The lie will be blatantly obvious, and that is the goal. Make the government own their rhetoric.

It's very strategic. It's all about making the leave side look silly and incompetent.

I am overwhelmed with joy to see some old white dude waaaaayyyy south protect his tourism.

I am quite confident that will stop trumptruck from further mad hatter "truths". To celebrate, I will go have gumbo at a fine Canadian bistro.

It's chicken feed in that no private firm planning a many billion pipeline will care about 1 to 10% of the cost as subsidy. And as what I have learned, there are no buyers for bitumen that we don't already have enough capacity to supply. It's propaganda to her base. They don't grasp mill to bill.
