I love the taste of separatist traitor tears on a Friday afternoon.
TODAY, Court of King’s Bench, after hearing submissions from First Nations, ruled that the separatists’ (Alberta Prosperity Project) proposed referendum question is unconstitutional. It violates all Albertans Charter and First Nations’ treaty rights.
Premier, what now?

Last year, people often asked "aren't you sad to be missing this crazy year in B.C. politics?" and my stock answer became "In my life there will be 8 transformations of B.C.'s right wing, and if I miss the 3rd of them I will somehow survive."
did not realize transformation #4 would happen so soon!

Canada is creating a task force to monitor the safety of U.S. food imports after RFK Jr. cut 3,500 FDA staff. Weaker U.S. standards require increased monitoring and diligence for Canada, generating trade barriers and consumer distrust, resulting in economic damage for U.S. producers and farmers.

That's not really possible. That would be interference in what was once a free system. You have to save yourselves and the system from within. You have to prove that they are NOT your nature.

Reform UK could win a majority government with only 30 percent of the vote.
That is how distorted UK democracy has become under first past the post. Canada should take note.
Proportional representation means real majority rule. It is time to demand change
