If it's not regime change, and it's certainly not "law enforcement," let's just call it a nuclear-armed oil heist.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

David is right.
When a government magics up new legislation (Bill 14) to sidestep the courts and enable the separatists' (un)constitutional citizen initiative, there is only one conclusion.
Smith, the UCP & their fellow travellers are separatists.
Govern yourself accordingly.

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.

The Conservatives are, of course, changing the rules in the middle of the game.
It reminds me of the David Frum quote, "If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”

As a political scientist, I think the effects on unity are some of the biggest problems with the agreement. It legitimates "Alberta" as an aggrieved party, distinct from other provinces, while treating BC and its peoples to be as issues to be managed, rather than partners in the federation.

There is at least one massive inconsistency in the MOU.
On the one hand it speaks of "private sector constructed & financed pipelines" & on the other "AB commits to:
act as proponent for advancing the development of a bitumen pipeline".
Which is it? AB taxpayers want to know

Apropos of nothing, other than a persistent foreboding of impending dystopia whenever I read about the latest Trumpwellian outrage, here’s something you learn when you read the exclusions to rental car insurance covetage: a very clinical way to describe a “nuclear incident”.

Dear Albertans.
Today we face the prospect that Ms Smith will legislate teachers back to work 'cos it says we can't afford to settle.
Meanwhile the GoA is paying $$ (so far $237M - likely as much as $650M) to Aussie coal companies to settle claims created by the UCP's own incompetence

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.
