"Bannon “has explicitly compared Canada to Ukraine” to frame what needs to happen next. The comparison is not casual. In Bannon’s worldview, Ukraine was a liberal, Western-aligned country sitting on strategic resources at Russia’s doorstep. He watched Putin use separatist agitation in the Donbas to lay the groundwork for a larger annexation. Canada, with the world’s third-largest oil reserves and an Arctic frontier of enormous strategic value, fits the same template."https://raybwilliams.medium.com/the-fifth-column-how-maga-is-using-alberta-separatism-to-break-canada-apart-f8ed0d1e5db4#AbPoli #CdnPoli #MapleMaga #Traitors #FifthColumn

David Climenhaga: “Avid supporters of both candidates have warned that election of the other might lead to the demise of the party. As for myself, though, I’d bet the NDP survives whoever leads it, so everyone can calm down a little.” #abpolihttps://thetyee.ca/News/2026/03/10/Avi-Lewis-Sweeps-Ahead-Fundraising-NDP-Leadership/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial

What could be more “democratic” than letting “the people” decide on matters of public policy? This is flawed thinking, writes Jared Wesley. #abpoli https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026/03/10/Danielle-Smith-Populist-Referendums/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial

I signed, and so can you!This is a step, proving there's a want for municipalities to consider open social media in their communications. Should be easy enough to repeat on a town by town basis and see if traction can translate to larger cities. Let's do this!#MastoCanadaGOV #abpoli https://c.org/KLNQyfZ892

Send a message to Danielle & the UCP , vote no on every question. #ableg #abpoli"A “no” vote is an endorsement of the shared rules and mutual respect that have made our province the most prosperous in Canada and our country the envy of many others across the globe."https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026/03/10/Danielle-Smith-Populist-Referendums/

Somehow the APP and Danielle Smith will come up with a story that the slow economy is Ottawa's fault. #abpoli #ableghttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/deborah-yedlin-calgary-rene-levesque-nancy-southern-9.7121058

CBC contacted Alberta teachers and found 1/3 are actively looking to leave teaching or Alberta. The Maple Maga UCP have done a generational dirty to our children. #AbPoli #UCPdisaster #MapleMaga

If you watch anything today, watch this.Indigenous leaders speak their mind from the gallery after the UCP (now known as the Separatist Conservative Party) shot down an emergency debate on Canadian unity.#ableg #abpoli

Alberta: Albertans own the oil. Corporations pay us for it.Premier Smith: Albertans are being subsidized by oil corporations!From the Alberta government website: "Albertans own 81% of the province’s mineral rights and the Alberta government manages those resources on their behalf. The province grants companies the right to develop the resources through its tenure process and, in return, the company must pay the province – that’s called a royalty.""The Alberta government manages our resources on our behalf."So what do we do when a manager is not doing their job? We fire them!#abpoli #cdnpoli #oil #education #healthcare #publichealth #red4ed #wearred4publiced #climate #climatechange

@controlc @chad is a lot less than it seems…

@AmeliasBrain Well, the Fraser Insitute (you can't see me, but I'm looking like I have a nasty taste in my mouth) claims that every $1/barrel drop means 750 million less in the Alberta budget. There's a basic budget here (https://www.alberta.ca/revenue), which confusingly references WTI, rather than Western Canada Standard (WCS), which is what Alberta sells. WCS sale price is significantly discounted compared to Brent and WTI, so I have no idea why they didn't mention that.There is a spreadsheet available, although I haven't downloaded it. That might allow you to play with various scenarios yourself.https://www.alberta.ca/budget-documents

"By allowing patients to be charged for medically necessary physician or hospital care, Bill 11 is in clear violation of the Canada Health Act (…).

@RichardNairn I hope she doesn’t get the message and that the disconnect fractures the UCP

@fname absolutely. At least this article mentions Forever Canada got 500,000 signatures.

@RantingCanuck It does NOT matter whether is is standard time or DST as long as it remains constant. If there are health issues related to when people wake up or go to bed or start or end work or school we can change those times.Those times are not consistent anyway. Traditionally factory or construction work was 8 to 4 and office work 9 to 5, though those hours vary now and some people work shift work and some people work 12 hour shifts, some work flexible hours. Even schools have different hours to provide more flexible bussing.So for many, perhaps most, whether we are on Standard Time or DST does not determine their waking or sleeping hours.

'This week, Prime Minister Mark Carney was widely criticized for supporting Trump and Netanyahu's deadly attacks on Iran, which clearly violate the UN Charter's prohibition on the use of force. Since then, Carney and Foreign Minister Anand have struggled to explain their position and whether this contradicts international law.When Carney finally took questions at a press conference on Tuesday, he admitted that "it appears that these actions [the US-Israeli attacks] are inconsistent with international law," and called the war a "failure of the international order." He even said that Canada had supported it with "regret." However, he reaffirmed that it doesn't matter either way, because Canada continues to support the war regardless.''This is an outrageous position for the Canadian government to take, and it is the furthest thing from a principled foreign policy. It is not acceptable for Canada to identify that a violation of international law is taking place and still choose to support it.Making things even worse, Carney has refused to "categorically rule out" the possibility of Canada's eventual military participation.Carney's incoherent position on Iran is clearly at odds with both international law and public opinion. There is no justification for defending this deadly war of aggression which has undermined peace and security throughout the entire region.Canadians do not want to join this illegal war of aggression, and we refuse to allow Carney to leave that door open. We need to continue to pressure this government to withdraw its support for these illegal attacks.In solidarity,Michael Bueckert, Vice President, CJPME'#cdnpoli #abpoli #iran #War
