Some guy named Jeffrey Rath in Alberta is organizing a delegation to Washington DC in order to pitch the idea of Alberta becoming the 51st State.

That is what I figured. Alberta breaking away from Canada has always been a bit of meme, and it seems its being pushed for clickbait.

The host in the video, Rachel Parker (nee Emmanuel) was apparently laid off from True North, Candace Malcolm's independent news outlet who merged with Keean Bexte to form Juno News last month but didn't take her employees with her.

This is the first time I've seen Parker since. She only set up her personal YT channel Feb 28th, 2025.

Parker during COVID was a young reporter working in the legacy press for iPolitics.ca. She wrote a story about Chrystia Freeland, where Freeland's office immediately called her editor demanding edits and her editor made her bend the knee.

So Parker quit and joined The Western Standard as their reporter covering the Alberta legislature, moving West from Ontario. The independent outlet made a big deal of it at the time, announcing they were expanding and poaching talent (hired at the same time as Matt Horwood, who did some good jab harms reporting).

Something happened though because she only lasted a few months there before quietly changing her masthead colours and her bio, leaving WS to join Malcolm over at TN. Her contemporary hire Horwood, covering the Parliament Hill Ottawa beat, similarly didn't last long, leaving after a year or so to join The Epoch Times.

US Target gave them latitude and they turned it into a distinctly Canadian disaster. Now a woke-washed story in business textbooks. I believe they officially blamed the reconciliation and purchasing systems and its incompatibility with the metric system, French language and the bad exchange rates of the time because strong dollar PM Harper was a bad man.

All the YT videos I ever watched about Target Canada's failure usually attributed it to a lack of a functioning distribution network to keep products on the shelves and keeping prices low.

I believe there were also some clauses in their Zellers' leases they inherited forcing them to rapidly and simultaneously open hundreds of locations before they were actually ready instead of a strategic roll-out.

Hoping they pick Carney. I heard that if they pick him he immediately has to call an election because he doesn't have a seat in parliament.

Some bitch just resigned in Toronto riding. I am guessing this is the "transition" period.

I don't think Liberals can afford to hold back election because they are as high as they can get in the polls.

Jagshit Shit is delivering the worst electoral performance since pre Layton era.

Didn't Carney say that Canada needed to double down on going woke?
If that guy somehow gets in, we're fucked.

Not sure about that but Carney has stated he wants to use Tariffs on countries that don't have their own Carbon Tax implemented. So he basically wants to tariff every country while at the same bitching at American Tariffs.

@Betonhaus I wish Canada was fascist. but no we are a Zionist neoliberal hellhole.

It'll be Carney, the whole leadership campaign has been a veritable coronation.

Just to note though he doesn't have to immediately call an election; there's nothing stating the Prime Minister must have a seat in Parliament, only that they're the leader of the governing party. I still expect Carney to call one though because the optics of being PM without being in Parliament for the foreseeable future aren't good and because the Libs will want to capitalize on the recent polling.

I considered the 2024 US elections a litmus test. If Harris won I accepted that America was dead and would cease to exist by their next elections.
I consider Canada's next election to also be a litmus test, however we still don't have any good options. if the liberals easily win or even get a full majority then Canada is dead. If the Conservatives win we might be a bit less dead. If the PPC somehow gain enough seats that the Conservatives are forced to form a coalition with them we might be not fucked.

Unfortunately the people's party has had a lot of the support they had in 2021 shift to Poilievre, who is much more willing to sell out on core ideas and policies.

Regardless, it's going to be in the hands of the livestock who live in the big cities. And unfortunately but not surprisingly they will most likely vote the Liberals back into office due to rabid hatred for Trump and the veneer that the party has somehow changed despite all of the same ministers running to continue to lead the country.

Has Freeland mentioned publicly if she will stay in government/run again if she loses the leadership race (which she will)?

Her "resignation" from the Finance Minister post in Dec was half-assed just like Justin's.

Personally I'm voting PPC out of protest for how un-conservative our Conservative party is, especially in terms of immigration, but I still expect (and hope) Poilievre wins just for his promises on firearms. If the weaselly French fucker backtracks on reversing all of Trudeau's OICs regarding guns (which I half expect out of cynicism) then I know this country is lost.

Looks like Carney is the new PM, good luck leaf's. Hopefully a lot of shit he said was normal bluster to get elected and he ends up reverting back to his inner international banker.

He's already on record - in French naturally - of maintaining the carbon tax and doubling down on firearms restrictions. There is no daylight between him and Trudeau.
