“We got poutine” but I share none of mine with quislings Danielle Smith, Gina Rinehart, Jeff Rath and his back-stabbing Klan, and water and climate destroying fossil fuel companies pimping Trump’s lies and chasing zero regulation (destroy the environment stupid, destroy the economy and your kids’ lives) to profit rape yet more $billions and leave us with even more devastation, toxic pollution and health harms. They can eat frac waste US EPA is pouring down their greedy throats.

Don’t bother. Trump admin just lies and denies.
Then they cheat and steal.

Never mind the fact that a Canadian passport is almost always ranked as being more “powerful” than an American passport:
The Henley Passport Index is the original, authoritative ranking of all the world’s passports according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa. The index is based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) – the largest, most accurate travel information database – and enhanced by Henley & Partners’ research team. Expert insights regarding the latest ranking are available in the Global Mobility Report 2025.

Never trust Trump. Hold firm with no negotiations.
He’s a lying sack of shit and sees others’ negotiations as weakness.
Tell him NO on everything.
Then tariff the hell out of all American goods.

I love Quebec! And yes, I’m Canadian from another province! Merci!

Yes please change that part. Québecers have become very patriotic here and should 100% be recognized as such

The ‘national unity crisis’ Smith wants won’t be about AB seperatism, it’ll be about AB being voluntarily annexed by the US, by the UCP. There’ll be no referendum, or vote of any kind, other than CPC not winning the election.

Part II – Fair Deal Panel redux
Grilled by reporters at that news conference Friday about her social media threat that the next prime minister of Canada has six months to agree to her nine non-negotiable demands or she’d cause “an unprecedented national unity crisis,” Smith said that she has in mind a remake of former United Conservative Party premier Jason Kenney’s failed 2019 “fair deal panel.”
It’s easy to laugh this off. Kenney’s effort was performative and amounted to nothing. But we can’t rule out the possibility that the 51st staters and MAGA enthusiasts that Smith relies on for advice might actually try to use the new panel to set the stage for a separation referendum or, worse, a unilateral declaration of independence.
Given the UCP’s incompetence at actually governing, the rising hostility to Smith’s toadying to MAGA leaders south of the international border, and the legitimate concerns about what could happen to our pensions, passports and public health care in the event the premier manages to gin up a unity crisis on behalf of Big Oil, I would suggest the chances of “social disorder” at any upcoming panel meetings are quite significant.
NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi dismissed the premier’s behaviour, saying “it’s juvenile, it’s childish, and it’s not very bright,” which is fair on all counts, but downplays the very real dangers of what the premier is proposing, given her history and the lunatics running the asylum on the other side of the world’s longest undefended border.
Whether or not the NDP leader suggested Smith should call a referendum now and quit if it fails remains an open question, given the sources for this tidbit are a right-wing website and the premier herself at Friday’s press conference.
I would suggest Smith is not someone who should be dared to do dangerous stuff, because she just might, although it would be out of character for her to resign if it blew up in her face.
