🇨🇦 ALBERTA'S PIPELINE HOPE HITS A 50-YEAR WALL 🇨🇦

Premier Danielle Smith wants a path to the ocean for Alberta crude, but the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act stands firm.

It is a conflict decades in the making, and the coast isn't blinking.

If you read no other book this year, READ THIS ONE. It isn’t easy (I’m only on chapter 2, and it’s already horrifying), but it’s necessary for our society to understand what people do to our children.

The story about the Newfoundland keeper who saved more lives with a rowboat and a lantern than most navies do with a fleet.

When he died in 1924, coastal captains dipped their flags as they passed King’s Cove.

Not because they were told to. Because they knew the truth:

That lighthouse didn’t just shine light.

It shined for life,
It shone him.

And now you know the rest of the story…

Another wrote simply:

“Cooper keeps the sea honest.”

He trained his kids to run the lighthouse, too — not for glory, but because “someone’s got to keep the light burning.”

He lived his whole life in that little cove, never seeking fame, never expecting reward.

Over his lifetime, Billy Cooper pulled more than 200 sailors from the freezing Atlantic — sometimes hauling them into his boat one by one as waves broke over his head.

One newspaper at the time called him “the living definition of Newfoundland grit.”

He didn’t just light the lamp.
He watched the sea like a hawk.
He listened for ship bells through the fog.
And when disaster struck — and it struck often — he didn’t wait for help.

He rowed.

No matter the weather.
No matter the hour.
No matter how many people told him he’d drown doing it.

In 1880, he became keeper of the King’s Cove Lighthouse, a lonely white tower hammered by waves and wind strong enough to peel paint. Most keepers served a few years. Billy Cooper stayed for forty-three.

And here’s where the legend starts.

But one man never lost his.

His name was William “Billy” Cooper, born in 1851 in Bonavista Bay.

Not a soldier. Not a politician. Just a fisherman’s son with a stubborn streak and a belief that nobody should die on his shoreline.

Russian "America first" accounts, eh?
Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

The Swedish Deputy PM said this in Ottawa during a CTV interview with Vassy Kapelos. Can't recall another foreign leader being so blunt about the US, and so accurate as well! 🇨🇦🇸🇪

There are huge opportunities for Canada and Norway to collaborate on energy, defence, and clean technology.

At the G20 Summit, Prime Minister Støre and I discussed how we can work together to build up these industries for our workers and businesses.
