Dear America, Your president represents everything that is wrong in the world. He is the opposite of good, the antithesis of neighbourly, he's not very smart and he cares only about himself. This can't possibly be something you are all okay with, can it?

With 173 polls left to count, the 'no' side now has the lead on all four of Danielle Smith's constitutional referendum questions

📣 Dear Alberta, I'm gonna be blunt... If you voted "yes" to the immigration questions during Alberta referendum, you either: A) Believe the hateful LIES spread by UCP B) Know they are LIES and just leaned into "hateful" part I really REALLY wish there was a rational and less depressing "C"... 💔

Now, more than ever, Albertans need to kick their addiction to grievance politics. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...

📣 Dear #UCP, The vote today in #Alberta? What a massive, massive, massive waste of resources and taxpayers' money. What a hate-mongering debacle. What a lie-infused polarizing clusterf*ck. Shame. On. You. 😡

These were never serious people and it's a goddamned shame we wasted so much time and money having to pretend otherwise. Ultimately, it's up to Albertans to make the person responsible for this fiasco pay an electoral price. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Absolutely heartbreaking to see so many Albertans embrace lies and cruel nonsense about immigrants. 💔

The separatists are going to lose today’s vote. But if Alberta’s political class doesn’t stop feeding and inflaming their bottomless sense of grievance and victimhood, we’ll all end up losing in the end. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/19/o...

If you voted by mail-in ballot in Alberta's referendum it's important you: 1. CHECK that your vote was received (👇). 2. VOTE on Election Day (October 19) if it wasn't.

What the pro-Canada Conservatives don't seem to understand is that this sort of care and feeding of false grievances is what sustains the separatist movement. They created it. They can choose to kill it. But they have to do the work. And throughout this campaign, not a single one has chosen to.

You are never going to convince the separatist die-hards. They're around 20 per cent of the population. They've *always* been around 20 per cent of the population. It's the soft federalists/send a message folks that matter. And this constant grievance-mongering pushes them in the wrong direction.

C'mon, Keith. *How* did Norway turn its oil reserves into "extraordinary national wealth"? *Public ownership of oil companies *78 per cent profit tax on oil companies *25 per cent sales tax economy-wide so the oil revenues could be saved These are not serious people. #abpoli

Why is this only down 17%? Who in the f**k is still travelling to that f**ked up country for pleasure? Canadians are still boycotting... www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...

My latest for @edmontonjournal.com "Taxpayers can't afford for us to keep sprawling — every new suburb needs new roads, pipes, firehalls and bus routes — that lands on your tax bill forever," Knack said Thursday #Edmonton #YegCC #AlbertaPolitics edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonto...

"Taxpayers can't afford for us to keep sprawling — every new suburb needs new roads, pipes, firehalls and bus routes — that lands on your tax bill forever," Edmonton Mayor Andrew Knack said Thursday. #yegcc #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonto...

Sources tell me Danielle Smith will force Edmonton to repeal its zoning bylaw. Smith's UCP loyalist friends in Edmonton Neighbourhoods United, whose agenda lost in the last election, asked for her help, just like she helped the separatists. Local democracy is dead.

Once again, for the politicians, business leaders, and journalists still actively posting on X/Twitter: why? You're using a platform that's owned by someone who's trying to break up your country. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Dear Alberta UCP, It is becoming increasingly clear that the MAGA movement will be remembered as an incredibly dark, dysfunctional, destructive, corrupt and unjust period in history. Why are you tethering your legacy – and our province – to this rotten and sinking ship?

We have normalized Trump's behavior to the point that every day we ignore something that would have instantly ended any other politician's career.

Kinda get a kick out of the late night comedians labelling Trump's latest fascist move to ban press pool members as "un-American" when actually this shit has become quite typically American. No "un" needed.

"The province’s economic pie is growing, but it’s being redistributed away from workers and toward corporations faster than in any other province."

This is very well done. #abpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ymi...

“If Danielle Smith’s tax revenue figure of $150 million is true, it is because workers are being paid so little that most of their incomes are not taxable,” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/09...

General rule of thumb when making any purchase: 1st: Buy local 2nd: Buy Canadian 3rd: Buy from companies in Canada that may not be majority Canadian owned 4th: Buy from any country other than the one directly south of us. Aren't we all doing this right now?

“This High School Student Invented a Filter That Eliminates 96% of Microplastics From Drinking Water. Virginia teenager’s filtration system harnesses the power of ferrofluid, a magnetic oil that binds to microplastics in flowing water.” That’s excellent, but we still need to reduce microplastics.

Separatists constantly suggest Alberta has a unique "cowboy", "toil the land", & "rural" culture. Reality: - AB as urban (80% +) & diverse as rest of Canada - AB ag industry = about 2% of total economy. Ag is 1% of Ont's - The cowboy hat thing = just identity fashion like punk pins, blue hair...

No matter what they claim, the REAL “war” that’s been going on in our cities has been a WAR ON WALKING. And it’s been going on for a century. #UrbanTruth

Right on Senator!

Bravo @mapquest.com…. for not bending the knee! #LakeOntario-Now&Forever🇨🇦

I could only include 10 of his cartoons. To see more of his incomparable work, you should follow him at: @deadder.bsky.social !

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

YES to Canada 🇨🇦, reason, and compassion❗ NO to the 9❗ As the (ridiculous) Alberta referendum nears, let's keep the message simple. VOTE❗ Much of the motivation for referendum based on xenophobic and regressive BS. My take 👉 thewalrus.ca/albertas-sep... cc @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social

I have NO regrets about leaving Musk’s site. But I wish I could extend my reach here, with Alberta’s referendum hard upon us. Don’t be shy. Please follow. Please recommend me to your friends. I post about Canadian politics, Alberta, Edmonton, and an absurd array of other topics! #cdnpoli

🇨🇦 ONE MILLION VIEWS! 🇨🇦 While Trump continues to troll us about changing Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” we just passed 1 MILLION VIEWS on our LAKE AMERICA? F**K THAT! video! Troll all you want, Donald, you’re going down. youtube.com/shorts/_bg7x...

"By focusing the public’s attention so deliberately on Ottawa, they can distract them from the very real policy failures happening in their own province." Their strategy is to say "Our grievances are legitimate" often enough that everybody might start to believe it's true.

This is the most embarrassing moment for the Americans since I dunno probably whatever Trump did 4 hours ago.

America had their Hulk Hogans. Their Marvel comic "super heroes." Their tech billionaire winners. We had Terry Fox. His marathon of hope has never ended because in our hearts we carry Terry's spirit. Canada #strongasfuck

We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all so beyond absurd and it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.

The Smith government has had years to address the root causes of the affordability crisis. Instead, they continue to throw money at Albertans to forget about it. And they only do that when the premier's polling numbers take a nosedive.

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion. Car dependency, dumb land-use sprawl, too many (& bigger) cars being driven too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion. Think about it. THAT’S common sense.

For the record, I fucking hate every single question on these referendum ballots. Thanks for the chaos, division, and economic harm, Dani.

"And most importantly, it tells you that your city is not passively accepting whatever comes next." Edmonton councilor @aaronpaquette.bsky.social presents a motion looking into the city's place within Alberta, as a response to the provincial sovereignty debate. aaronpaquette.ca/blog-2-1/sep...
