"Is Greg Bovino literally hanging out with Nazis?" @samsteindc.bsky.social and @willsommer.bsky.social discuss the immigration enforcer who reveled in terrorizing Minneapolis and who is now openly associating with Europe’s far-right fringe.

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Justice Leonard, responding to a suit brought by Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and Blood Tribe, finds that since Smith's referendum if successful would bind the government to attempting to separate, the government can't do it without consulting the treaty nations. And they didn't.

lmao I am FASCINATED by the thought process of Alberta separatists. They want Alberta to pull a Brexit, but they don't even bother consulting with First Nations about the Treaties that have existed since before Alberta was a province. Judge threw out their petition btw: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Leonard quashed the separation petition & its 301,000 (unverified) Albertans’ signatures. She sided w the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation & the Blackfoot Confederacy by ruling that the govn’t failed in its duty to consult 1st Nations bef setting Alberta on a process… www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Just ax the oil bursaries, Subsidies and bailouts for traitor provinces. This is just the alberta of the last 100 years. BTW they should pay for every barrel of oil that travels through TMX. Canada owns it.

The idea of a separate Alberta defies logic Canada owns - Wood Buffalo Elk Island Banff Jasper Waterton & the TMX pipeline And all treaty land belongs to First Nations There's not much left after that #ableg #abpoli

“I don’t think that’s a very accurate statement… starting a new country isn’t cheap." Finance Minister Jason Nixon arguing an independent Alberta wouldn’t be more prosperous He says he’ll be presenting a report soon with actual numbers making the case to stay podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/j...

The contempt for the judiciary is ramping up. And it’s coming directly from inside Alberta’s premiers office. Attempts like this to delegitimize the judiciary are a huge red flag for democracy and 100% the tools of authoritarians. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Paramount responds: "We respectfully disagree with efforts to characterize this transaction as harmful to journalism or competition... Far from limiting competition or press freedom, the combined company will have greater scale and resources to compete..." www.status.news/p/david-elli...

Hours after Sharyn Alfonsi accused the Bari Weiss-led CBS News of punishing her for refusing to “sanitize factually accurate reporting,” the growing crisis at “60 Minutes” spilled into the Emmy Awards ceremony. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/sharyn-alf...

A coalition of journalists, academics, and documentarians have signed a letter opposing Paramount’s acquisition of CNN’s parentco, Status has learned—voicing concern over the ramifications it will have for the news landscape. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/david-elli...

"...treat this merger not as an arms-length and above board business transaction, but as what it plainly is: a political arrangement to circumvent constitutional safeguards, with severe consequences for American democracy"

Scoop: Nearly 200 journalists, academics, and documentarians have singed a letter objecting to Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. They voice concerns about what David Ellison might do to CNN and HBO's documentary offerings. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/david-elli...

Steven Guilbeault: "We bought a pipeline in 2018 hoping that it would help to alleviate some of those tensions. That did not help at all. We lost all of our seats in Alberta the following election. We lost our seats in the prairies following that election."

Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa are mostly manufactured, always exaggerated and, often, completely illusory. Now it's time for the people who spent the last decade amplifying and weaponizing them to put out the fire they helped create. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...

At the #WesternPremiersMeeting in #Kananaskis, #Alta on Tuesday, #Manitoba Premier #WabKinew took a moment to CORRECT Premier #DanielleSmith on the limitations surrounding the government’s duty to consult Indigenous groups when posing the question of #AlbertaSeparation 🇨🇦 youtu.be/lH8j7ztC8JQ?...

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew speaks truth to the Disinformation wannabe Queen of Alberta. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who has sworn direct fealty and allegiance to the Canadian Crown, lies about the Constitution's Section 35! Kinew calls her out (note body language just before). 💯 #CdnPoli 🇨🇦

Well... AHS V032 is out.. and is it BAD.. 12+HR ED waits already in Edmonton, LOTS of OBGYN & ER Closures.. Growing list of full Acute Care units & more! Picture is from Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, laying the smackdown on Alberta Premier Danielle Smith today open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh...

“I want to tell Premier Smith she looks great in a Team Canada jersey,” Manitoba premier Wab Kinew says for the second photo op of the western Premier’s in Canadian World Cup soccer jerseys. Conference continues this morning.

On the topic of Alberta separatism, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her province will turn to the court for clarity on what the duty to consult means. After her remarks, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew gave her his definition.

In which Wab Kinew sees right through Smith’s BS and provides real time fact-checking:

Appreciated the invite to join The Current this morning to talk Alberta separatism, national unity, and the time the premier took off her shoe at a conference to make a point about patriotism. open.spotify.com/episode/1N1P...

Here's the UCP caucus statement on the committee voting for a referendum issued after Thursday's vote and the one issued inadvertently on Wednesday. The first and last paragraphs are slightly different, but it is otherwise the same as Wednesday's statement, including grammar issue on paragraph 5.

David Parker has joined Jeffrey Rath in calling for Danielle Smith to be removed as UCP leader and Premier.

"Helping Danielle Smith avoid a leadership review is a Danielle Smith problem." Columnist Jen Gerson says the premier could’ve avoided a referendum entirely, but instead she chose that path & turned it into an Alberta issue to protect her political career LISTEN: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s...

« The oft-repeated claim that organizers gathered roughly 300,000 signatures on a separation petition rests entirely on statements made by one individual: Mitch Sylvestre. »

That was quite the Western Premiers Press Conference. Open conflict over separatism and section 35 between Eby/Kinew vs Smith (Moe was silent until the end and then trashed Trudeau while praising Carney). At least they didn't pretend there was no disagreement
