Does Caroline Mulrony's resignation from the Ontario Conservative government have implications for Pierre?

My first thought when I saw she was resigning was that a move was coming for her to step from Provincial to Federal (politics).

Not sure if people use this threads thing but I like what Wab Kinew just said to shut down Danielle Smith's nonsense:

I can't agree. He basically said that Albertans should just wait, and see if we get enough natural resource projects to make Albertans happy. And that Smith was wrong to ask Albertans if they want a referendum or are OK with the status quo. Smith is simply looking for where the goal posts are. Canoe (that's their text to speech, not mine) spoke very well. but it doesn't make him correct.

He didn't acknowledge the significant part of the Albertan population that is pushing for separation, or, any of their concerns. He just brushed them off, and impied that a pipeline should be enough for Alberta to be happy, in spite of all of the other issues many Albertans have with Ottawa.

A landlocked province that essentially has one single resource completely reliant on export (that happens to drive their entire economy)should absolutely wait and see if they can get their primary concern remedied as a member of the existing federation as opposed to trying to wing it alone and hope those neighbours will graciously endow you with favorable trade agreements to get your wealth to market.

I know this is oversimplification but the point stands

Kinew: “I’ve heard loud and clear that Indigenous people, from coast to coast to coast, are prepared to use every treaty right at our disposal to ensure that Canada does not lose (Edmonton Oilers captain) Connor McDavid.”

Who is this "we" and what treaty rights are at "our" disposal? Does the Premier of Manitoba represent all of Manitoba or just the 18% of the population that is indigenous?

Canada is a joke right now. We are a democracy that is actively funding oligarchies and monarchies, that keep the majority of their subjects in a state of impoverished dependency, within our own borders.....and letting them dictate to the majority of our citizens who are not part of those smaller nations.

It's also worth noting that more people signed the petition for a referendum than there are indigenous people in the province of Alberta.

If only 25% of Alberta wants to separate, that is more citizens than the entire First Nations population of the entire country.

There are also FN's (not the Chiefs) who are in favour of separation.

Cuz's problem is that he's not Albertan. He's a transplant. He moved there from BC for cheaper living but now is terrified he may have to move back to remain Canadian.
