These clauses/land titles were approved under the former CON govt, they put them in place in order to reduce local competition and they allowed the deals to go through, the current & last Liberal govt has been fighting these agreements and are asking the local Premiers to modify or remove them.
Reminder it was former POS PM Stephen Harper that created this problem, never forget this. 🤬

#BuyCanadian #cdnpoli #Silk&Danone Beware consumers! Companies are getting tricky with their labelling! Silk soy milk from Danone for example. Front of product. Canadian grown soy. Back of product: Product of the USA. Won't be buying that again.

US exceptionalism has been shoved down the throats of every citizen of every country for decades yet they also love to push the narrative that they’ve been taken advantage of in trade and military support.
So, which is it?
Because you can’t have global dominance and be a victim at the same time.

There's something a wee bit hypocritical about Canada's conservatives when they insist we get all verklempt over Charlie Kirk catching a bullet, while they're positively gleeful when "liberals" die (there's Ezra Levant and Michael Coren toasting the death of Jack Layton).

As cost-of-living skyrockets & our standard of living plummets in #Alberta, the UCP keeps playing political football with nonprofits—slashing funding for decades-old genuine community groups while propping up "for-profit" aligned ones. Picking winners & losers is a disgrace. #abpoli #ableg

What’s happening inside the Conservative Party under Pierre Poilievre isn’t normal turbulence. It’s institutional decay disguised as discipline. It's a flashing red light signaling rot, with a party on the brink of combustion.

Axe the Vax Tax: Health Shouldn’t Come With a Price Tag
Charging for vaccines means fewer people get protected. Families living paycheck to paycheck will skip vaccines. Workers will get sick, especially health care and education workers.
