Mario Canseco is interviewed by Markham Hislop in this energy media post showing no love for Alberta separatist leaders. A great interview coinciding exactly with all polls and the referendum. Well done Markham!

Alberta Separatists Are Awful People: Only 10-13% Approval from Supporters 87% to 90% of THEIR SUPPORTERS DISLIKE THEM. That tracks. I intensely dislike David Parker, Jeff Rath, Mitch Sylvestre and the rest of these deplorables. #ableg #abpoli youtu.be/SiwSjnfqeLU

Remembering how Smith lied about crossing the floor in 2014, I would say that she has never had a moral center She's the kind of person who would do anything to keep her job That's why Alberta is in this state

Premier Smith will always blame the feds on immigration policy. Today, too many. In 2024 not enough. Here's the hectoring 2024 letter if you haven't seen it. It's her letter not Kenney's. She has to wear this. #abpoli #cdnpoli
