Lets face it, this is a good day for oil companies, businesses, and those in the oil sector. Its a bad day for the environment and for reconciliation with Indigenous nations whose lands this thing will go over. As Blanchet stated, this is the official end of Canada's climate commitments.

This was the first Grey Cup to feature a United States-vs-Canada matchup.
The Lions won the game 26-23 thanks to a field goal by Lui Passaglia.

Just read this thread of a conversation in question period between the NDP's Nenshi and the UCP premier Smith. UCP is corrupt, completely. Also - morally bankrupt. Also - MAGA aligned. Vote them out! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Health card misuse? Get a grip on reality.

How about we reduce the UCP’s “misuse” of our government?

Their union, the Farmers Union are lobbying for this. While I have supported a local farmer via CSA for years, I haven’t discussed this latest move by their union to which I know he belongs. And likely it is the big corporate farms, looking for government funds.

By 'farmers' do you mean corporations that have been buying farms because they're too expensive for normal ppl to purchase?
