Stronger Together
Finally, voting day is here in Alberta. Total results probably won’t be known for a couple more days. Officials will be counting the stay in Canada vote first followed by the remaining nine questions. It is estimated that the final tally for the stay in Canada vote will not be known until tomorrow morning. But given what the polling is showing, the results should come clear by late tonight with a strong vote, not to have a second referendum
Any cliffhangers will be with remaining nine questions. Given an association with a stay in Canada vote there is a possibility that the remaining nine questions might all be answered no which would be a significant blow to Danielle Smith and her future as leader of the UCP party and premier of Alberta. Her favourability ratings have sunk down to such a point that Mark Carney is more popular in Alberta than Danielle Smith
To any Albertans who have not voted yet get out and do so. Exercise your democratic, right.

Referendum Day
Tomorrow is referendum day here in Alberta. 10 questions will be voted on, including whether Alberta wants to stay in Canada or have another referendum to leave Canada
This vote will cost Alberta’s at least $90 million. All the ballots will be hand counted. If 2 million Albertans vote, that means that 20 million ballots will have to be counted.
Enthusiasm in the stay in Canada crowd is extremely high. The image above was a rally from a rally in Edmonton on Friday night. There was a similar rally in Calgary, the night before.
Mark Carney gave the Keynote speech at both events. Both locations were packed to the rafters with cheers throughout his speech.
Enthusiasm for the separatist seems to be diminishing. There was a rally held at the Alberta legislature yesterday, which was, to put it kindly, sparsely attended.
Danielle Smith is in a no win situation. Her UCP party has a large number of separatist supporters. Yet, Smith has voted to stay in Canada. Her other nine questions that she put on the ballot could quite possibly be voted down. It is quite likely that after tomorrow, the UCP party will be torn apart with a huge chunk forming a separate party.
For those Albertans who have not yet voted by way of the mail in ballot or advanced voting, make sure to get out and vote tomorrow.

Despicable
Canada used to be America’s strongest ally and partner. We are no longer that.
Russia used to be America’s biggest enemy. Trump is starting to turn Russia into America’s biggest ally.
My parents after the end of World War II, came to Canada rather than live under the Russian boot in Poland. They knew what it would be like to live under a Russian dictatorship. Russia has a dictator now in Putin.
Trump is selling out Ukraine to Putin and Russia. He has lifted the sanction on Russian diesel fuel exports. Monies that Russia will make from the selling of diesel fuel will be used for weapons against Ukraine and ironically to support Iran.
Trump‘s ally, Elon Musk, has disrupted his Starlink system services to Ukraine, hindering big-time Ukraine’s war effort against Russia and creating additional vulnerabilities to Ukrainian citizens
Trump has frozen sanctions on Russia, previously approved by both the Republican lead house and Senate. They were to take affect this week.
Trump has called Zelenskyy, the most difficult man to negotiate with and that he should be kicked out of office. He says that Zelenskyy is even harder to negotiate with than Putin.
Ukraine has also run out of patriot missiles to defend themselves. It is questionable as to whether the US will supply anymore or the US will block other countries from providing such missiles to Ukraine.
The midterms can’t come soon enough

Carney In Calgary
Alberta referendum day is next Monday. Mark Carney is in Alberta this week. He was in Calgary last night. He will be in Edmonton tonight.
He gave an impassioned speech to a standing room crowd in Calgary last night. The loudest cheer of the night was when he was talking about the pipeline to the Pacific reducing dependency on the US. The crowd went wild. He tried to subdue the crowd by saying ‘careful, careful careful’. After a few moments, the crowd calmed down. And he then said careful the US might look at this as election interference. Another loud cheer.
Supporting unity and mocking Trump at the same time. Albertans will vote to stay in Canada next Monday. The only question there is by how big a majority will the difference be?
As to the other nine questions in the referendum, those voting to stay in Canada may most likely vote to say no to the other nine questions which will be a major blow to Danielle Smith. The biggest loser in all this will definitely be Danielle Smith.
The biggest winners will be Alberta in Canada
Elbows up and Canada strong.

More 51st State Crap
Donald Trump was at it again last night. Pouring out more 51st state bull crap in a rally in Bullhead city, Arizona.
“They’ll end up being the 51st state because it’s the only way it works.”
Donald, I thought you were done with this garbage but I guess not. He made this statement on the same day that US ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, warned Canada not to get involved in the midterm elections coming up. Sure Pete, just like the way the US isn’t funding the separatist vote in Alberta. Give us a freaking break, Pete.
Trump then went to list a long line of grievances saying that we have treated the US badly for years. . Oh, woe is us. All you’re doing Donald is digging a deeper grave for yourself in your midterms. You might not know it, but you’re voting public does. We are much better friend to you than anyone else in the world, including Russia. What you’re doing with Russia right now is insane but that’s another chirp.
So, Donald, you can stuff it with that crap. We will never ever ever be your 51st state. End of story.
Elbows up and Canada strong.

Referendum Daze
A couple of Major votes in the next few weeks. One in the US and one in Canada.
How bad is it for Donald Trump and the midterms? He is only campaigning in red states, playing defence. He went north to Alaska, yesterday, to campaign for Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. There is also a second Dan Sullivan on the ballot. Trump’s rallies have a bunch of empty seats in them. One republican congressional candidate in Maryland got laughed out of a Townhall session, yesterday, when he said that the high diesel prices were due to democrat regulations. He was not a happy camper.
Here, in Canada, a vote will be held on October 19 with nine questions and one option on the ballot. The option question relates to whether Alberta wants to separate from Canada or not. I say ‘relate’ because the option question is really about whether there should be a second vote. I’m not going to go into details. Only in Alberta.
There is much enthusiasm for this vote. Over 600,000 mail in ballots were requested and submitted. Yesterday was the first day of advanced poll voting. Some polling stations reported lineups with waiting times of two hours or longer
Social media is awash with comments on the vote, with a majority of the comments, favouring Alberta staying in Canada. This is not good news for the separatist at all. There was a major drop off in separatist comments, on Monday, following Ukraine’s bombing of Russian data centres on Sunday. The theory is that many of the separatist comments were actually bots. Surprisingly, there are a lot of jokes on the Internet right now about how many men lost online girlfriends Monday morning as well.
I, for one, am very much looking forward to the October 19 vote here in Alberta and the midterm vote in the US in November. I think a lot of conservatives are going to have a very depressing upcoming month.
That being said, if you have not voted already, get out and do so

Can’t Make This Up
Here is Donald Trump trying to catch a few winks by working on the job
A couple of days ago, he announced that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to have a cease-fire on attacking each other’s energy facilities. A reporter told him, yesterday, that neither Russia or Ukraine had heard about this. So how do he know that they agreed to such a cease-fire. Trump said that they did agree and this is why.
“You know why? Because I said, ‘you agree,’ that’s why. They agreed because I said they agree.”
When told that Russia has since attacked six Ukrainian energy facilities, Trump said he would have to look into it.
You cannot make this up folks you just can’t.

Says It All
This says it all about MAGA supporters, and how much Trump respects them.
Trump said the following at a rally over the weekend
“I could say the stupidest things and you’d clap.”
And they did.

Friends Of My Enemy
OK, Donnie, let me get the straight
You are BFF with Vladimir Putin. Right? Now, you just removed sanctions on Russian diesel oil. Correct? You might end up buying some of this Russian diesel oil. Correct?
OK, now here is where I am confused. Russia is going to get the funding for the sale of this oil. Russia is going to use some of those funds to support their ally, Iran. Correct? Iran is in a war with you. Correct?
So what you’re doing is providing funding ro Russia, who will provide support to Iran, who is fighting you. Correct. So you are fighting with yourself. Do I have this right? I think I do.
Isn’t that kind of like treason or something like that? Or are you just that plain stupid?
What a time to be alive.

Swamp Monsters
Donald, do you remember in your first term when you said you would be draining the swamp? Boy did you fool your MAGA followers didn’t you?
How about a couple of your recent swamp monsters. There is Kimberly Guilfoyle. Don Junior‘s former fiancé, and now the ambassador to Greece. She hit a MAGA donor for $100,000 to pay off her credit card. What the freak is that all about? Also, she’s using her ambassadorship to drum up her businesses. She has done so many screwed up things, but you can’t do anything about her because she knows too much about the Trump crime family.
Then there’s Don Junior himself. A Russian oligarch gave him hundreds of thousands of dollars to help fund little Donnie’s wedding. This guy is a close friend of Putin. Like come on Donald
I guess I can’t be too smug being a Canadian. We have our own swamp monsters, such as Alberta separatist Jeffrey Rath. He is being sued for $112 million by lenders who gave him money that was supposed to support two first nations that Rath was representing. The only problem was that Rath was already fired by these two first nations, yet he still took the money. Our Jeffrey has had a number of issues with first Nations, being sued a few times. Yet he is the face of Alberta separatists. Imagine that.
if you have any openings in your cabinet coming up, you might consider looking at Jeffrey Rath. He is after all your kind of guy.
