“As soon as this election is over and the province needs to win in Calgary, we can start pushing them on returning our property tax, getting the Green Line back on track and other issues.”

“Thiessen also has some advice for Mark Carney’s Liberals.”

“Sue Alberta.”

I like how he thinks.

Just watched a clip of Poilievre talking about Charlie Kirk, who killed him, and why. And it was not very different from what Trump says: blaming the authoritarian, violent left. It's an ideologically warped distortion field. Pierre may be worried about the leadership review. Or he might believe it.

How should we interpret that he lost the election? That he didn't merit representing the electors of the riding?

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery.

She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting”

She had to return to the hospital.

These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill.

They must be held accountable.

We’re watching this Montreal mayoral debate and the presenters from the Montreal Gazette are coming across as distinctly pro-car and anti-walking/biking/transit.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

The International Energy Agency expects greenhouse gas emissions from data centres' energy consumption to double in the next five years as a proportion of emissions from burning fossil fuels.

The tech bros motto should not be "move fast and break things," but "burn, baby, burn."

I think that largely happens in Alberta, most other Canadians don't eat with loved ones who would put their health at risk. They may be polite but they are also educated, civic minded and value their health.
