Danielle Smith orders Edmonton City Council to drop its infill housing policy. Respect for local democracy? Forget about it! This isn’t a request from Alberta’s premier; it’s an order! albertapolitics.ca/2026/10/dani...

By contrast, the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act (FISA) is very broad: “Every person commits an indictable offence who, at the direction of, or in association with, a foreign entity, engages in surreptitious or deceptive conduct with the intent to influence a political or …”

Should Canada’s treason law be changed to include such behaviour? Maybe. That’s a different question, though, and shouldn’t be done retroactively. So still no.

It’s legal to advocate peaceful secession in Canada, indeed, it’s constitutionally protected speech. As for the clowns who went to DC, it would be hard to get a conviction under Section 46 of the Criminal Code with no way to prove there was a plan to levy war against Canada. So no.

Danielle Smith knows nothing about those separatist ‘negotiations’ in D.C.? So what good is her ‘Top Secret’ security clearance? albertapolitics.ca/2026/10/dani...

Ottawa designates Alberta’s latest bitumen pipeline to the Salish Sea a project of national interest. Rest easy in the knowledge God’s in His fossil-fuelled Heaven and all’s right with the Petrosphere! albertapolitics.ca/2026/10/otta... #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

Formerly confident Alberta separatists pivot to lamely pleading with voters to ‘send Ottawa a message.’ It’s starting to look like NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi was right when he challenged Danielle Smith to call a real referendum. albertapolitics.ca/2026/10/form...

This grim, gripping report on Canada’s biggest Covid-19 outbreak from the University of Alberta’s Parkland Institute should be required reading for all Albertans - and all Canadians. Especially those who’ve decided to forget how deadly and terrifying the early months of Covid truly were.
