Carney made a good speech today. Now we'll see how he's going to implement it in his actions towards Donald Trump. IMO he's gotta do it before "it" happens, so that Trump's evil sycophants and puppeteers can't try to make us believe it wasn't as bad as it was and demand that we forgive and forget.

Incredible – Minister Rick Wilson told CBC in November he was closing the Royal Alex Hospital supervised consumption site because it wasn't being used enough.
In 2024, drugs were consumed at the site 1,212 times – 55% more than the total DORS app sessions. DORS still has an operating contract.

Alberta organizes banned book buyback to keep streets safe
Critics have argued that, while the buyback may get some books off the streets, serious readers could simply swap covers, file off ISBN numbers, or even 2D print books at home.

Remember when James Sowery drove at a cop & hit a pylon at the Coutts blockade, but the cop didn't shoot him multiple times in the face & kill him right then? In fact he got due process & is even legally appealing his dangerous driving conviction? But the convoy called Canada a dictatorship anyway?

I didn't have the space to get into the UCP in my Venezuela column, but Max does an excellent job of unpacking the real, reckless, potentially even traitorous danger here.
Danielle Smith's willingness to cater to Alberta separatists was always a dangerous game.
Now, in the wake of America's attack on Venezuela and its covetous advances on Greenland, she's effectively risking Canada's future in order to save her own. #cdnpoli
