Alberta, Ottawa agree on deal that would see province front its own major project reviews | CBC News Ottawa and Alberta have reached an agreement that will see the province take control of regulatory approvals for major projects, something they say will deliver those projects more expeditiously.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ottawa partners meaningfully with provinces. Alberta needs to stifle the generational grievance and separatist fever dreams nonsense and look at what is right in front of them. An ascendant Canada & real opportunities.

Fair point. I too have faith. But the idea of Canada aiding the US in these war mongering actions that have no justification and no end plan is deeply problematic for me.

Disgusted by #MAGA & #Trump's war & chaos? Dead school children? Theft of sovereign resources? Lies? Attacks on US citizens? Racism? Economic malfeasance? Lawlessness?

Yeah?

Well, NEVER forget Smith #UCP is #UCP-MAGA. Reject chaos. Choose our imperfect, work-in-progress & free Canada. #ableg

Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

β€œThere is no capacity whatsoever [in the Alberta government] to push back against that form of misinformation and disinformation that's going to happen.”

Nor is there any serious interest within the separatist #UCP.

The #UCP have now come after 2SLGBTQ+ people, teachers, disabled people (ADAP) & now immigrants!

FACT:

Total 4-Year Overall Royalties

NDP 4-Year Total: $16.3 Billion
UCP 4-Year Total: 82.2 Billion

Over a 4-year window, the Smith's UCP had roughly $65.9 billion MORE in resource cash than the NDP did.

What does Smith have a $9.38 DEFICIT?
