Memo to Alberta's federalists and anti-separatists: stop accepting Danielle Smith's premise that the province has been screwed over by Ottawa. It's time for more facts and fewer feelings. #cdnpoli #abpoli nationalobserver.com/2025/05/29/opi…

A separate Alberta would be a poorer Alberta. My latest for @TheHubCanada on the fiscal and economic fantasies of those promoting independence: thehub.ca/2025/07/24/tre… #cdnecon #cdnpoli
Surprised at people applauding Robertson for this. A six month extension to a deadline the city already missed, that itself was extended by a year before that, is not serious. The feds have decided not to be serious about their own housing policy.
Federal Housing Minister Gregor Robertson said Toronto has six months to get back on track with the terms of its Housing Accelerator Fund agreement or risk a financial penalty of 25 % cut in Toronto’s annual payment, roughly $30 million this year #cdnpoli ipolitics.ca/2025/07/23/tor…
Paramount killed their 30 year late night show and settled a bogus 60 Minutes lawsuit just to get a deal through — only for South Park to do this:
Any pipeline "agreement" between provincial premiers that didn't include Wab Kinew and David Eby was a dead letter to begin with.
Manitoba Premier Kinew walks away from pipeline deal: “Our government will not treat consultation as a box to check after decisions are made,” he said. “We believe reconciliation requires shared decision-making from the start.” #cdnpoli winnipegsun.com/news/kinew-wal…
Imagine citing a long list of long-incubating problems created mainly by a global US-based right-wing tech/social media/oligarch ecosystem and blaming it on "Trudeau". Pavlov's dog was capable of more intellectual agility than what we're seeing on the North American right.
Trudeau’s legacy in a paragraph.
Really interesting and important op-ed here. What's your preferred way of addressing income/wealth inequality? thelogic.co/comment/carmic…
it we keep talking about Epstein for like two more weeks I think we can get them to wheel the aliens out of Area 51
BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard announces she has officially referred Barack Obama to the DOJ for criminal prosecution
BREAKING: WSJ reports DOJ told Trump he was in the Epstein files back in May.
Imagine being so obsessed with attacking your opponents for being "socialists" that you accidentally criticize them for buying BC wine and vacationing locally Same guy who couldn't bring himself to condemn Trump's tariffs and skipped the vote
Must be nice to sip BC wine on a Gulf Island while British Columbians can’t afford gas, groceries, or rent. Champagne socialists brag about the good life—while working families fall FURTHER BEHIND. Conservatives won’t rest. We’ll keep FIGHTING for those getting left behind.
Don't threaten the rest of the country with a good time.
Ethan Page is clearly the pride of Canada and America's greatest champion and hero. Show some damn respect.
Ladies and gentlemen, the "new" NXT North American Championship, as designed by Ethan Page... 😅 🇨🇦 @OfficialEGO
1/ I was listening to folks on the CBC Alberta At Noon call-in show describe what they believe "Alberta culture" and "Alberta identity" to be. It became clear fairly quickly that lots of folks have a sense of exceptionalism that has no basis whatsoever in reality or history.
One is a scholar on genocide, the other is Bret Stephens It'd be like the NYT running dueling op-eds by a climate scientist and a fossil fuel executive
They are back on their shit, playing the words game
Oh my God, you total jackasses. EVERY country had a notable drop in life expectancy circa 2020. And you know why: COVID. Maybe you don't know that the USA had a WORSE drop in life expectancy, and started from a lower base to begin with!
Canada had a notable drop in life expectancy since 2020: "Being on the side of reality and facts is so against the narrative... they're willing to ignore an increase in all-cause mortality."
Premier Doug Ford says PM Mark Carney stayed at his cottage last night and that they stayed up until 12:30 by the fireplace “solving the world’s problems.” Ford then waxes poetic about the PM. #onpoli
He did the meme
the soy-faced fascist guy who lost a debate to mehdi hasan just lost his job too 💀
That’s literally the point of vaccination, you idiots.
Spike protein antibodies are 10x higher in the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated, even years after getting the shots. This is not normal.
Any inter-provincial agreement on pipelines that doesn't include the premiers of British Columbia and Quebec is, almost by definition, a dead letter.
“If Prime Minister Mark Carney doesn’t want to work with us, it’s not just myself and Scott Moe he has to worry about; he’ll also have to contend with Premier Doug Ford." Ontario, Alberta and Sask. push plan for new pipelines, railways to connect Canada globalnews.ca/news/11298003/…
