5000+ Canadians are asking that Poilievre gets his security clearance. These days, with the corruption in the USA and other countries, we cannot afford to have somebody who isn't informed telling people what they should be thinking. Enough! Please consider adding your name: c.org/sZ4GTGjBzr #CdnPoli

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

The tragedy of #SamuelBird

Forever Canadian supporters are the best! They don't just sign; they proactively confirm their support and thank us again. That's next-level commitment you rarely see! This powerful shared purpose truly fuels the movement. Please sign if you haven't yet and THANK YOU! #ForeverCanadian #ABpoli #ABleg

Panel 1: Two volunteers sit at a table while one person signs. A couple approaches on a path. Panel 2: The approaching couple stops, and one person waves, saying, "We have already signed." Panel 3: A volunteer says, "Thank you for signing," and the couple replies, "Thank you for doing this." The comic highlights the dedicated support for the Forever Canadian cause.

The question for some of us is to determine when the AI bubble will burst, which will significantly impact local government investment, tax breaks, Data Center longevity, utility usage, and costs for electricity and water, potentially leading to the collapse of local hiring staff at all levels.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 6d

Proposals to build data centers are facing growing opposition across the country.

Local leaders are weighing concerns about data centers’ water and electricity use with the hefty community investments that developers often offer to sweeten their deals.

Towns are saying no to AI data centers. One got sued over it.

A developer sued a Michigan township after it voted against a data center proposal. Cities in Ohio and Missouri have explored data center bans.

Urgent to be shared with parents of school aged children 🚨🚨🚨

If you take the 30$ a day from the UCP, they flag your children as homeschooled and they will NOT have a class space to return to.

This is dirty and underhanded by the UCP/MAGA party.

Please share #Alberta
