Jeneric<p>I am bemused that the federal NDP look to be wiped out, according to polling predicitions. Except in Edmonton, calling for maybe 5 ridings!? We pinko lefties are still Albertan, so we're not going to vote Liberal. So we become the NDP power base? And my hope is that Rachel Notley returns to bring a New Labour shift (a la Tony Blair) to a more nationally palatable NDP.<br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cdnpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ableg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableg</span></a></p>

Chris<p>She publicly calls Canada “weak and vulnerable” in front of foreign officials, then winks and says, “maybe after the election we’ll talk.” That’s not advocacy. That’s selling out your country for partisan gain. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23ableg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableg</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23cdnpoli" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> (5/7)</p>
Chris<p>“Working relentlessly with U.S. officials” — that’s not diplomacy when you're asking a foreign power to hold tariffs to help your preferred party win an election. That's political treason in lipstick. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23ableg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableg</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23cdnpoli" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> (3/7)</p>
Chris<p>“Ultimately up to Canadians.” Right — after she’s spent months whispering in foreign ears, rigging the timing, and playing puppet master. This is not leadership. It’s manipulation on an international scale. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23ableg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableg</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23cdnpoli" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> (4/7)</p>
Chris<p>Let’s break down this flaming pile of spin from Smith: - Turns interference into “diplomacy” - Pretends to be the adult in the room - Undermines Canada’s federal government while claiming she’s just observing democracy - Not a denial in sight — just deflection and fluff <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23ableg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableg</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23cdnpoli" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> (2/7)</p>
Chris<p>This is Olympic-level spin, Premier Smith. You did interfere. You did undermine Canadian sovereignty for partisan gain. Now you're just polishing the mess you made. 110% convinced: you need to be recalled and kept so far from power you need a cattle prod perimeter. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23ableg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableg</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23cdnpoli" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> (1/7)</p>

Chris<p>When a prominent Conservative says this crosses into asking for foreign interference, we need to stop and ask serious questions. This is bigger than partisanship.
