My thoughts on Alberta's push to add citizenship markers to driver's licenses.

It's not about election integrity or convenience.

It's about a culture war and discriminating against immigrants.

In a moment where Canadians are looking for more serious and sober-minded political leadership, Poilievre’s persistently peevish brand of politics might not be fit for purpose, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.
Pierre Poilievre hasn't learned a thing
The more things change, it seems, the more the leader of the official opposition stays the same. Will his party's members give him the chance to run the same failed political playbook again?

“Pierre Poilievre is an angry teenager in the body of a grown man. He’s quick to turn anxiety into anger for political gain — with no concern for the destruction he causes in his fight for power. He’s the nastiest leader of a major party in this country’s history.”

The biggest blow we can give Smith & the UCP is to sign the #ForeverCanadian petition

Alberta taxpayers are paying this guy $140K per year to tell us to "Get lost"!
Are you sure you’re listening? 🤨

Danielle Smith’s waste-of-taxpayer-money “Alberta Next” panels turned rowdy in Edmonton.

It’s clear they’re not interested in hearing from Albertans. The UCP just wants to continue to push their costly, destabilizing ideas on Alberta.

Blanket rezoning in Calgary was a result of the Trudeau government incentivizing cities with the housing accelerator fund. Danielle Smith tried to make federal negotiations with Alberta municipalities illegal.

Justin Trudeau has done more for housing in Alberta than Danielle Smith has.

Very good message from Brian Mason!
Brian Mason never minced his words. Trust me, I know. We sat across the aisle from each other in the House. I still have scars to show.

But when it comes to the #ForeverCanadian petition, he supports.

Brian, thanks for the letter!

Bonnie Critchley really is the grit & spirit of rural Canada. Hardworking people who look out for each other & love Canada.
