Which one is the "Terrorist in Chief"? Pete or Donald?
Offering the survivors of a missile strike no quarter and then ordering a second strike to finish them off puts Hegseth in deep, deep water. He gave an illegal order. This is either murder or a war crime. It doesn't matter what your title is, Secretary of Defense, or Fox Talk Show Host. It's murder.

I encourage Canadians to read the article below. There are some things in the agreement you may not have read, that will deliver significant improvements for Canada. Don't just focus on a possible pipeline.

Born in Regina in 1926, he appeared in over 100 films and 150 TV shows portraying over 200 characters. Originally a dramatic actor, he shifted to comedy after his role in Airplane!. Roger Ebert once called him the Olivier of Spoofs.

Remember - if you're financially in a position to do so, skip the #BlackFriday deals online from big companies and shop instead from small and local businesses.
The big guns don't need your money, but for small traders it can be what keeps them going into 2026, so support your community instead.

That's right, folks, the Ontario government's Black Friday sale is back! And for this Black Friday, for a small donation to my reelection campaign, you'll receive a $10M Skills Development Fund grant! But hurry, because the OPP are having a look-see now, so this is a time-limited offer!

THIS !! Today was all theatre. It will not get built. But Danielle agreed to build carbon capture and meet other targets.
Smith cannot meet the criteria. Carney knows it, and now he has erased any opportunity of Alberta saying Liberals don’t engage them.

There are no private investors, Coastal First Nations say, “No” and BC won’t approve it.

So why are people acting as if construction starts tomorrow? #cdnpoli
Premier David Eby, speaking now, cites PM Carney's comments from earlier this week that pipeline would have to have agreement from B.C. and First Nations.

"This project does not have the support of Coastal First Nations," he says. Adds no proponent, no route, no money.

I guess it's not "hallway healthcare" if you never make it to the hospital hallway.

Ontario’s Bill 33 expands policing in schools and will erode democratic oversight
Ontario’s Bill 33 seems an attempt to centralize control of the education system while avoiding real issues like chronic underfunding and understaffed classrooms.
