I propose a provincial sales tax, … specifically earmarked for healthcare. This way, Alberta isn’t getting ALL of its revenue from oil, and spending most of its revenue on oil.

Like every other province

This is an opportunity for Canada to unburden itself from the gigantic American automobile trend. Half of the current surge in traffic congestion is driven by unreasonable vehicle size.

A precondition for Republics to transition to autocracies is the politicization of the military. It is why the political & military leaders of the country have been so vigilant to keep partisanship away from it. But this admin is dismantling that concept. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...

Everyone should strike Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Fiat off their shopping lists.

Has there been anything positive from Ford or GM? Or should Canada just go all-in with Japanese, Korean and European brands who invest in Canadian production?

No Kings is on a Saturday, which is probably best for turnout.

America has never has a 3.5% turnout for a protest.

Italy did it a few weeks back, to support Gaza. Not even domestic politics.

Americans need to become politically aware, or continue suffering like sheep.

America needs political will.

Biden won, but there wasn’t enough political will to punish Trump et al. The next American leader needs the political momentum to launch Nuremberg-like trials, starting on inauguration day. Make the irreversible decisions. Make sure there is no going back to fascism.

It’s going to be tough to argue/lie that No Kings protesters have been bused from other places when there are protests in all those other places

Using different search engines can be an eye-opener. Google is hardly an impartial judge of content. It’s payola links for pages, before anything resembles an index.

I’ll say it again. We would actually be MUCH better served by a media that chased clicks, page views, and subscriptions.

Our media spends its time representing their owner’s broader capital interests, rather than the capital interests of the outlet itself.

Make it stop, and we can be friends again. Maybe.
