ALBERTA MEDIA ALERT 🚨 What none of the Media are understanding is how involved Danielle Smith was behind the scenes in manipulating the petition and referendum process. Prior to the November 2025 AGM Danielle Smith Would text Jeff Rath on a relatively regular basis. On June 30, 2025 Smith sent a text to Jeff Rath by mistake that was obviously meant for Thomas Lukaszuk. The text said “Told you not to submit until the new rules came in. This has to be conducted under the old thresholds” This text was sent AFTER Lukaszuk had submitted his petition under the old rules and Lukaszuk was already Lobbying to have his petition be permitted to meet the lower signature threshold under the new rules. Rath responded to Smith by saying that Smith had obviously intended that text for Thomas Lukaszuk. Smith, obviously flustered tried to lie her way out of it claiming : “No I meant to send it to you. I told you and Mitch to wait until the new rules came in and it sounds like you did” The problem with that explanation is that Smith never told Rath anything about waiting until the new rules came in. We were doing it in any event. The obvious context of this text and the timing of it that Smith was colluding with Lukaszuk to rig the petition process and subsequent referendum against her base in favour of the Forever Canadians. Of course if what Smith was saying about NOT accidentally sending a text meant for Lukaszuk to Rath (which is less likely) this gives support to what people were saying at the time about Smith being a secret separatist. (which looks even less likely) The simple fact is that on either formulation - manipulative secret federalist or manipulative secret separatist, SMITH is unelectable. Understanding who she is as a person, who in their right mind would ever vote for her ever again, on either side of this debate.

This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity - and the federal support - to buy it and run it themselves. And if we want to avoid the Mass Effect effect in Canada, we should be keeping private equity out, not welcoming it in. pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/…

Sacha Baron Cohen on Nathan Fielder, who worked on his show 'Who Is America?': "I think he’s a comic genius and he reinvented the genre that I, I suppose, created or developed. And he had a rule really, which was to not do anything that I had done. But he’s a brilliant, brilliant mind, and absolutely hilarious. I think his documentary’s going to be huge, so I’m very excited for him." bit.ly/4BpPgkz

Adam Friedland crashing out over a mom joke on @patrickbetdavid has to be the most un-comedy thing I’ve ever seen a comedian do. @AdamFriedland don’t you make fun of people for a living?
