Husband, father of three amazing adults, music lover 🎸 and proud Canadian 🇨🇦 and these days an embarrassed Albertan. Sadly these day, a bit of a political geek.
Love is love 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I support Trans Kids even more than I oppose this hateful Alberta government.
Daniel Smith is the WORST PREMIER in Canadian History. She takes away human rights like they don’t matter, or for her exist.

Hey Rock Hall, what have you got against Canadians? There so many 🇨🇦 artists that deserve their place in Hall.
First and foremost Bryan Adams; others include; Paul Anka, The Guess Who, Sarah McLachlan, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Alanis Morrisette, Celine Dion, Anne Murray,

I am so sad to hear the tragic news of Todd Snider. From his website: “heartbroken to share that our Founder, our Folk Hero, our Poet of the World, our Vice President of the Abrupt Change Dept., the Storyteller, our beloved Todd Daniel Snider has departed this world.” I was fortunate to see him live

What is the "Corrupt Care" scandal?

Pete Guthrie, who left the UCP over their refusal to call a public inquiry, summed it up impressively today.

And he called out the UCP MLA's and ministers who remain silent on it.

Anyone, and I mean anyone, surprised by this. The ucp / Smith government couldn’t be transparent in a glass house.

456,365 #ForeverCanadian signatures (plus few dozen last minute arrivals). I’m told it’s the biggest petition in Canada’s history.

None of this would happen if not for thousands of volunteers and your love for Canada.🇨🇦

Thank you! This is Alberta’s and Canada’s victory.

So she doesn’t believe in any rights to be protected. WOW!
She truly believes her government knows better than the laws of Canada.
Worst premier ever!

An important note…

Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter…

She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote.

So Tariffs have nothing to do with illegal drugs, but the orange pedophile rapist’s feelings. Has anyone passed this on SCOTUS, not that 6 of them care.
The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Danielle Smith and the ucp are so full of 💩 that if they fart in an elevator, where you can see it on their face, they adjust their stance, let rip a nasty noise, and the smell unbearable, they would never accept responsibility and in fact, blame you for having senses.

NDP House Leader Christina Gray ripped into the flaws of the Eyant report as well today…

She highlighted the shortcomings of the report, how that was by design to allow Smith and her cabinet to avoid accountability & that the judge felt he wasn’t able to get full answers.

Rakhi Pancholi came out swinging on the Wyant Report and highlighted all of its flaws and shortcomings…

It’s worth remembering she’s a lawyer as she takes Danielle Smith’s spin apart.

Pierre is MAGA. He freely and willingly uses trumps playbook and he is starting to say the quiet things out loud.
For those who believe that he is an acceptable option for Canada need to pay attention. He is not.

In tonight’s clip from “The Real Pierre” he attacks the federal police force as corrupt and says he would jail his political opponents— including Trudeau who is no longer in office.
Seeing a pattern yet?

On Monday, Pierre Poilievre shared his party’s petition to “end DEI” and “restore the merit principle.”

Just before that, another Conservative MP posted that “Canada must now place restrictions on birthright citizenship”

If it all sounds a bit Trump-y, that’s probably because…it is:

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
