Only 48% of BC voters supported the BC Conservatives, yet the voting system has handed Lorne Doerkson's Conservatives 69% of the seats and 100% of the power. fairvote.ca/25/10/2026/bc-co…

Everyone salivating over, and chomping at the bit with the prospect of livestreaming public executions at Ft Hood ought to watch the futurist George Carlin,who also did comedy.

"The rule of law is under vicious attack in this province and I am not the first, nor will I be the last, to call this out. When an institution is silent in the face of what is happening in this province, that silence is complicity." Another resignation at the Law Society.

Danielle, your own staff failed to disclose to the authorities that the personal information of nearly 3 million Albertans was being illegally shared, including the former premier's home address. You did nothing. We notified the RCMP immediately. You laughed it off repeatedly for months and did nothing to protect people. Now you say that you acted immediately? What a joke. You acted like you always do, only when you think it helps you. Now you're attempting to spin this to suppress get-out-the-vote efforts, making it easier for your separatist friends in this referendum. You continue to put Albertans at risk for the sake of your own political career.
Albertans' personal voter information was allegedly disclosed without authorization by the Alberta Republican Party. The Chief Electoral Officer called publicly for stronger safeguards, and our government acted immediately to suspend distribution of the voters list while the investigations run their course. Shockingly, the Alberta NDP went to court to stop us and keep things as they were. Yesterday, the court ruled against them. This was a shameful display by the NDP. Protecting voter information should be a non-partisan issue and I’m glad that their application was rejected by the courts.

So the news today is that both the Alberta separatists and the Quebec separatists have been holding (or seeking) meetings with the Trump administration — colluding with a foreign power in the service of its ambition to break up the country and absorb it piece by piece. For how long are we going to continue to treat this as a legitimate political “option”?

1. CORRECTION: It's not "some really bad years in a row", it's really bad years for the next 50,000 years, starting from ... NOW. "Some of our wheat yield is down by 40%, it is pretty horrendous. There have been some really bad years in a row," he said. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6y9…

Danielle Smith isn’t fooling anyone. She’s been colluding with separatists from the beginning. In fact, the separatists own her, politically speaking. She may not have been in that particular meeting, but she’s definitely in on their project. Traitor is not too strong a word.

FYI: Involuntary care doesn’t change the toxic drug supply. It doesn’t build housing, it doesn’t eliminate poverty, it doesn’t create employment, and it doesn’t change what people are released back into. Stop treating social failure as an individual pathology. Invest in housing, income security, employment, healthcare, harm reduction, recovery services, community and connection. Address the toxic drug supply, and ALL the social determinants of health. Don’t just intervene in a crisis, change the conditions that keep creating it!

Over the ten years, Premier Smith claims Alberta faced a hostile federal government, oil and gas production doubled, and Ottawa poured tens of billions into energy infrastructure. The tolerance of her big lie is almost as remarkable as the lie itself. thewalrus.ca/alberta-separat…

Can’t believe I have to post something like this again!! MAID is not something Canada can simply “offer” to a vulnerable person and carry out. The person must make their own voluntary request, be assessed by two independent medical professionals, have decision making capacity, give informed consent, be told about treatments and palliative care options, sign a witnessed written request, and be able to withdraw at any time, including right before it happens. For cases where death is not reasonably foreseeable, there are additional safeguards, including a minimum 90 day assessment period in most cases. Mental illness as the sole condition is not eligible until at least March 17, 2027. Yes, there have been disturbing reports of inappropriate conversations or failures in care. They should be investigated and addressed. But they are not proof that MAID is being handed out to people because they are poor, disabled, or inconvenient. No one should be pushed toward death. But neither should someone facing unbearable, irreversible suffering be forced to endure it against their will. Compassion means protecting choice, dignity, and safeguards.

Do you know what "shelter in place" means? During some hazardous material spills, you may be safer staying indoors than evacuating. Go inside, close doors and windows, turn off ventilation systems, and stay tuned to local radio or TV for updates. Info: PreparedBC.ca/HazardousMater…

The myth Alberta 'subsidizes' the rest of Canada is the most powerful meme in the separatist armoury. But it's utterly false. I show that most Albertans get more back from federal programs than they personally pay in federal taxes, for @TheTyee: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026/09/1… #abpoli /2

My daughter came home from school and said, “Mum, you’re not going to believe what happened in history class today.” Her teacher told the class they were going to play a game. He walked around the room and whispered to each kid whether they were a witch or just a regular person. Then he gave the instructions: “Form the biggest group you can without a witch. If your group has even one, you all fail.” She said the whole room instantly lit up with suspicion. Everyone started interrogating each other. Are you a witch? How do we know you’re not lying? Some kids clung to one big group, but most broke off into smaller, exclusive cliques. They turned away anyone who seemed uncertain, nervous, or gave off even the slightest hint of being guilty. The energy shifted fast. Suddenly everyone was suspicious of everyone. Whispers. Finger-pointing. Side-eyes. Trust dissolved in minutes. Finally, when all the groups were formed, the teacher said, “Alright, time to find out who fails. Witches, raise your hands.” And not one hand went up. The whole class exploded. “Wait! You messed up the game!” And then the teacher dropped the bomb: “Did I? Were there any actual witches in Salem, or did everyone just believe what they were told?” My daughter said the room went dead silent. That’s when it hit them. No witch was ever needed for the damage to happen. Fear had already done its work. Suspicion alone divided the entire class, turning community into chaos. And isn’t that exactly what we’re seeing today? Different words, same playbook. Instead of “witch,” it’s liberal, conservative, vaxxed, unvaxxed, pro-this, anti-that. The labels shift, but the tactic is the same. Get people scared. Get them suspicious. Get them divided. Then sit back while trust crumbles. The danger was never the witch. The danger is the rumour. The suspicion. The fear. The planted lies. Refuse the whisper. Don’t play the game. Because the second we start hunting “witches,” we’ve already lost. [Naomi Dennis]

Did you know that when we eliminate fossil fuels, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because that’s how many are just carrying coal, oil and gas? #ClimateChange
