True, one step away from complete corporate branding. Maybe that's her next step...

If anything happens to my Wild Rose plate, I will get an Oilers one simply to save the embarrassment

Why? Why? As Albertans suffer, as Americans suffer...Why don't people learn from our mistake? #Canada

ANALYSIS | After big win, big challenges await N.L. premier-designate Tony Wakeham | CBC News

For the Progressive Conservatives, the 2025 election campaign was about the cost of living, health care, and crime. But mostly, it was about change.

As I watch the news about Stellantis moving to the US resulting in 3,000 Canadians losing their jobs, l really don't care about the impacts on a few American business owners.

Oh that's wonderful. Do you want to message me to figure out how to get them to you? I live in YEG and work close to Audrey's.

@cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social I have a box of photos from 80-100 years ago that I have moved from house to house. Some are from my grandmother's classmates from McGill in the 1910s, others from Prairie life. Is there anyone who would want them? A historian or archive? A photography historian? #History

I'm lucky I seem to have bought the last affordable bungalow in YEG and am fixing up what was a neglected rental. I hope its my forever home. The area is on the edge of safe/not safe so I hope that improves.

Absolutely disgraceful

From the DM’s…

Meanwhile, in the land of privately owned, for profit care…

Allegedly long term care homes have stopped using overnight adult diapers and are only using daytime ones because they’re cheaper.

Even though they allegedly compromise care.

Absolutely! The idea that they can pass a bill about their activities within our borders makes me furious

"Americans would use “salami tactics.” Taking slices Canadian sovereignty and independence at a time. The first steps would not be tanks rolling across the border, but the Canadian government allowing, or being forced to allow organizations like the US Marshalls or the FBI to operate inside Canada."

New from Avant Garde Press: Canadian Salami

"Recently, an article was published by ‘The Conversation’ about the potential of an American invasion and Canadian insurgency....It’s time to examine the issue of the Canadian resistance to American invasion."

This year marks 150 years of the Supreme Court of Canada helping to shape this country, standing in ardent defence of Canadian democracy and in defence of our freedoms.
May its work continue so that 150 years from now, Canada remains the true North, strong, and free. #cdnpoli

Considering the threats we have from then US administration, this is troubling. Personally, I think there is too much American presence in Canada already.

I hope - but doubt - our response is a firm "no"

I've worked many elections, both using hand counting and tabulators. Hand counting isn't difficult. At the same time, tabulators aren't some weird evil conspiracy thing. The only thing is that tabulations can jam when people are voting and that's a pain.

How does she think her anti-Canada BS would gain support from other provinces? She's a bad mixture of cruel and dumb
