This was NINETEEN FUCKING TWENTY SEVEN. "Both" is pronounced "boat" by the way. There is no "th" sound in German (and most languages) that we have in English. Anyway I don't know if I'm impressed or deeply sad about this picture. Because after 1927 things changed drastically in Germany.

11:21 PM It looks like Alberta will remain in Canada but bring in stricter voting rules that will make it harder for citizens to vote. Meanwhile, we don’t want to change the constitution, but the idea of screwing over immigrant still has appeal. Is that about right? #ABPoli #ABLeg #ABsurd

first of all: there are NO VOTING MACHINES second, all ballots must have the dro's initial before they are handed to the voter. so, yes, there is writing on the ballot. this socalled PSA is false. this is disinformation conspiracy bullshit.

Boy sure is awesome Canadian media has given the Alberta separatists so much time and attention over the last two years as though it was ever something worth all this bullshit to begin with.

Albertans with Canadian flags attached to their car in 2026 and Albertans with Canadian flags attached to their car in 2021 are completely non-overlapping groups.

Trudeau bought an entire pipeline to try and appease Albertans and afterwards the province was awash in pickups with FUCK TRUDEAU bumper stickers because they didn't want him to buy them a pipeline they wanted him tried at the Hague over covid measures. These are deranged and dangerous people.

I'm going to say this without pointing the finger at the person below bc they get it, but many outside Alberta, I believe, don't have a full grasp of what this movement is. It isn't like Quebec, it is almost entirely without basis and can never be mollified or appeased, only fought against.

What's happening in Alberta is even more batshit than I ever thought. Danielle Smith is a dangerous psychopath, and the AB separatist movement largely exists because COVID broke far-right brains, and is led by Christo-fascist religious white nationalists, relying on dark money. 2/n

There has been more energy in the US to disrupt or cancel an Ed Sheeran concert than the multiple visits Netanyahu has made to the US.

Trump won. Brexit happened. We can’t let apathy hand Alberta to the separatists. By following the 5X plan, we can stop separation, crush the 9 Questions, and defeat Danielle Smith. Get started now at 5x.ca.

Mark Carney - a LIBERAL PM - is more popular in Alberta than Danielle Smith, by a full 9 points. He’s more popular than Pierre Poilievre. He’s more popular than anyone & everyone. And despite being the conservative heartland of the nation, Alberta resoundingly rejects Donald Trump.οΏΌ #cdnpoli

Alberta’s electricity under the current UCP government increased 127.8% between July β€˜22 and β€˜23 (Sask coming in a DISTANT 2nd at 12%) and has consistently continued to rise. Albertans cannot afford these out of control, unchecked cost increases. Send Dani packing already. #AbLeg #AbPoli

We all need to be ready for that eventuality. This is why I have no sympathy for all of the sailors enduring disgusting conditions at sea because of this administration. Every effn member of the US military would still invade Canada in a heartbeat if instructed to do so by that πŸŠπŸ’©.

Alberta hasn't banned US alcohol imports. People here aren't buying it anyways. The debate over whether provincial governments should be banning it misses the actual point, which is that Canadians don't want to buy it in the first place. #cdnpoli
