Is Trump so insane he’s planning to take Venezuela - a pure act of aggression!
We haven’t seen this level of insanity since the Iraq war that brought us closer to midnight on the doomsday clock. I’ll be watching world news tomorrow. Such a dumb mistake!

It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.
Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.'
None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack.

Late night news - Trump blockading Venezuela in an act of extortion accusing President Maduro of using oil money to support drug smugglers among other things.

Alberta is now well recognized as an authoritarian style clone of Trump’s America. Trump has sycophants/billionaire welfare recipients and Smith has MLAs that do little or nothing and applaud her democratic undermining in the legislature. The oil barons are happy. Pathway made for a 51 state.

Toronto Star looks at MAGA Smith’s power grab. Maybe The Star is alone noticing this -no longer a trend but hard right reality.
Once upon a time Alberta was a democracy where the rule of law was made for all people. The UCP is defining laws now to suite themselves,
their followers. Shameful

What power can do! A delegation of 30 Canadians, including six members of Parliament, was denied entry into the occupied West Bank early today.
Their goal- to speak with displaced Palestinians.
The world is watching this injustice!

Jeffrey Rath and his prosperity group is beyond ridiculous and not even comic. These idiots were enabled by MAGA Smith so that she could use their threat of joining the USA to keep power and threaten the feds with more and more of everything- like a petulant child.

This can only happen because Canada is a free country and Canadians are tolerant of this reckless behaviour. Anywhere else in the world, including today’s USA, such mavericks would be tweeting from behind bars.

Beyond mind boggling!
How the UCP gov and MAGA Smith continue to hold power is just beyond me. Whether it’s totally destroying health care, environmental protection laws, people on AISH and those in LGBTQ - to name a few- they boldly press on with their Trump agenda.
They think no one is watching.

What Will be the new Alberta political reality with Smith and Poilievre on different pages? Poilievre’s view of the MOU that Smith made with PM Carney was that it was not worth the paper it was written on. Smith was all smiles. Poilievre is a liability to himself as well as Smith. Political change

Tone deaf Poilievre still doesn’t get it.
Two of his MPs have crossed the floor to the Liberals and one has resigned. This is the guy who hung around with the truck convoy crowd and later lost the election; only to come back in a bye election to keep his job and mansion. His review is forth coming !

These two articles about the lobbying effort to accredit the Peterson Academy are quite enlightening and troubling.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith confirmed today that her #UCP government is keen to help provide provincial post-secondary accreditation for the Peterson Academy, the online school of controversial psychologist and bestselling author Jordan Peterson. @charlesrusnell.bsky.social reports. #abpoli

MP Michael Ma quits Poilievre’s Cons to join Liberals. Markham MP gives the liberals a much closer majority perspective. It certainly puts another dint in Poilievre’s upcoming January review.

Alberta chief electoral officer warns potential harm to democracy.
Unsurprisingly, after all the NWCs and a blatant disregard for democracy and good decorum in the legislature. And 20 members of government and cabinet on recall- wow! As ire smells like Trump!

MAGA Smith’s continued abuse of democracy. She continues to plough ahead like an authoritarian little dictator denouncing courts and judges who get in her way from governing.
The NWC is being used primarily to keep her in power. If this continues without interruption- she’ll stay on for a long time

Alberta’s Bill 14 passed last eeek giving Justice minister Amery more power than a court or judge.
This is completely unconstitutional and undemocratic much like what MAGA Trump is going in the US .

Neither MAGA smith nor her followers appear to know nothing about Canadian politics. In the US judges are elected, not appointed. In Canada we elect politicians who the appoint judges when they become government. Unbelievable!

MAGA Smith considers her government now above the law.
So she won’t follow judges and their rulings on the constitution . Judges she claims are only appointed, not elected. What weird thinking.

obeying federal laws and avoiding the courts.

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.
She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."
We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.
