Statement on Canada’s reaction to the situation in Venezuela

www.canada.ca/en/global-af...

#Canada #cdnpoli #Venezuela
January 3, 2026 - Ottawa, Canada - Global Affairs Canada Today, the Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, issued the following statement: “Since 2019, when Canada closed its embassy in Venezuela, we have refused to recognize any legitimacy of the Maduro regime and opposed its repression of the Venezuelan people, including the persecution of dissenters and particularly political leaders opposed to the regime. “In keeping with our long-standing commitment to uphold the rule of law and to democracy, Canada stands by the people of Venezuela and their desire to live in a peaceful and democratic society. Canada also calls on all parties to exercise restraint and uphold international law. “Canada is engaging with its international partners and monitoring developments closely. “Canada stands ready to assist Canadians in Venezuela in need through our consular officials and embassy in Bogotá, Colombia.”

Calgary mayoral candidate Jaeger Gustafson has been using his social media to send MAID application forms to residents he disagrees with. This is sick.
He’s also vouching for residential schools to reopen

Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation files claim over separatist petition.

www.facebook.com/share/p/16pP...

#Alberta #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
An announcement posted to their FB page. It reads: No separation of Alberta from Canada can occur without First Nation consent. This is Treaty land. This is the law. Despite this, today, the Chief Electoral Officer followed the blatantly unconstitutional law passed by the UCP and approved a separatist petition in violation of Treaty No. 8. This petition will invite foreign interference and economic, societal and legal harm on all Canadians who live in Alberta, but especially all First Nations. This was approved all while the Courts were closed. They reopen Monday. Tonight, we have filed a Statement of Claim in the Alberta Court of King's Bench against Alberta, Canada and the Chief Electoral Officer for failing to diligently implement the Treaty and for breaching the Treaty. On Monday, we will file an urgent injunction to pause the petition to avoid the foreseeable harms that will result from this petition. We invite all First Nations and Canadians to support us.

My dad, 85 years old, suffering from the effects of a 2 year struggle with cancer, and chief of surgery at the Chinook Regional Hospital for decades, was moved from an already overcrowded space to an “overcapacity room” while he recovers from a stomach bleed and pneumonia. This is the room. 🧵🧵🧵

It remains unlikely we'll get him on camera, but we've convinced retired newspaper beat reporter and current CTV Calgary web hand / word operator Damien Wood to make at least token efforts to stop being snooty about social.
That's... something. Right?

Ok #yycbike I am in the market for a compact and light e-bike. I need to be able to carry it up and down several flights of stairs and fit it in an apartment without storage options. I have been eyeing a brompton, but am unsure on the price — thoughts? Advice?

Bob Steele (you may remember him from being all over the radio in Calgary for the past several decades) picked up the flu strain going around, has had a very difficult time but is doing better.

Via his FB: www.facebook.com/bob.steele.1...

A photo of him on a gurney in a hospital. The FB post reads: After being horribly sick and bedridden for the last 8 or 9 days, things started to turn around for me yesterday. After not eating or sleeping for that time, I’m getting back to normal. I was visiting a friend in the pub, when suddenly I had a difficult time breathing abs had to leave. My son called for an Ambulance abd i was rushed to the Rockyview hospital where it was determined that I had a respiratory infection coupled with Influenza A. I had never felt this sick in my life, and at times I thought it was the end. They put me on Tamiflu, (which was harsh) abd fwo different puffers. There was finally been significant improvement over the last couple days. I have heard from many that are going through the sane thing. Please take care of yourselves, and wash your hands as much as possible! I’m using my vacation days to continue to recover, and if I feel well enough still may try to get out of Dodge. Back on radio January 8. Happy New Year!
