I met a real "Most Alberta Woman" yesterday in Cremona. Her name is Alana Miller. She and her husband are cattle ranchers. She showed up in her SUV, with a small child in the back seat. She was still wearing her work clothes. She was in a mild panic. "Did I miss it? Are you guys closed?" She desperately wanted to sign the petition. She came prepared with 5 documents to prove her identity and her physical address. Everyone there was taken aback by her smile and enthusiasm. She is the future of Alberta, and we all knew it. I asked her if I coud film her, and I'm so glad she agreed.

My reflection on yesterday's townhall meeting with Premier Danielle Smith in Cochrane. She truly believes that Alberta only has two options. Stay as a province of Canada, or become an American state. When the crowd told her that there was a 3rd option, she pushed back, to which the crowd also pushed back harder. It was interesting to witness. She honestly believes that she can get us a better deal in confederation, if we vote "yes" to the constitution-related questions on the referendum. Paradoxically, she doesn't see a vote for #2 as a way to give her more leverage. She repeated several times that Confederation works when Conservatives are in power in Ottawa. And once again, she can't see that's the problem. Ottawa might never again be under Conservative control. A very interesting meeting.

Update on the Alberta Government's $55.8 million Caribou Habitat Recovery Program to plant five million trees, restore legacy seismic lines, and support long-term woodland caribou recovery across 15 ranges by 2030. I went back to our hunting camp last week, to see what additional damage the government had done during the previous winter, as a result of this program. I was devastated by what we found. What a monumental fuck-up and waste of money.

The mass psychosis that swept the land during the last 5 years wasn't limited to COVID. This scene was recorded in August 2020. A Black Lives Matter protest confronted White diners at a D.C. restaurants, chanting “White silence is violence!” and demanding White diners show their solidarity. If you survived the coercion of the last 5 years, especially by not getting vaccinate, congratulations, you have an actual moral backbone.

Last week I hiked along Jasper National Park's south boundary trail. It is one of the most remote trails in all the Mountain parks. This is a very short video showing the LaGrace campground. Note: Park Canada requires that we camp at these designated sites. This is an extremely primitive campsite, with a fire box and nothing more. No bear pole, no outhouse, no picnic table, nothing. I'm fine with that. I stayed here one night. This trail gets used by 2 dozen people per year, if that, and almost no one stays at this campground. A quick check of the latrine pit confirmed that no one else had been here this year. At the 0:12 mark in the video, you can barely see a sign on the tree. It wasn't there last year. I'll show you a detail of the sign in the post below. 1/

Throwback to the day I came home from work and found the boys had moved the trampoline closer to the deck so they could jump off. Me: Does Mom know about this? Boy: Yes. I start walking towards the door and I hear "Don't tell Mom"

Happy birthday dear Jesu. This movie has so many great quotes. "Today is Christmas. There will be a magic show at 0930. Chaplain Charlie will tell you about how the Free World will conquer communism with the aid of God and a few Marines. God has a hard-on for Marines because we kill everything we see. He plays His games, we play ours. To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep Heaven packed with fresh souls. God was here before the Marine Corps, so you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Corps. Do you ladies understand? Sir, yes sir! I can't hear you! Sir, yes sir! " Note: R. Lee Ermey, a real-life Marine drill instructor, improvised a significant portion of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman's dialogue. Sources confirm he ad-libbed over 50% of his lines, including many iconic insults during boot camp scenes.

You will not lose your Canadian passport in an independent Alberta. That's just pure fear-mongering by the "stay" side because they have no other argument. All they have is fear and nostalgia (for a Canada that basically no longer exists). Canada has fully recognized dual citizenship since 1977. There is no requirement to renounce Canadian citizenship when acquiring another. A Canadian-born person does not lose their citizenship simply because their province leaves Confederation. Canadian law protects citizenship by birth on Canadian soil. Most Albertans have deep family, cultural, and economic connections across Canada. None of those ties will be broken because of independence.
