This is a national tragedy and I am absolutely heartbroken. I join all Canadians in standing with the people of Tumbler Ridge. I send my condolences to the families and friends of those killed in this horrific event, and I am praying for a quick recovery for those injured. (1/2)

Is there not supposed to be a clear delineation between church and state in Canada? I see no need for this in our nation’s capital. Have what ever faith you want but it should not be the driving force in how a democratic nation is governed.

Stop sanitizing the cruelty with the use of “detention center”. These are CONCENTRATION CAMPS. When people are contacting measles & TB, are laying in feces and urine AND aren’t receiving adequate food YOU ARE RUNNING CONCENTRATION CAMPS. The USA is the monster.
ICE just secretly bought a mega warehouse in Surprise, AZ to turn into a detention center, and they shut out local leaders from having a say.
That’s wrong — our community deserves better.

I watched cross country check up on CBC. They tell us not to denigrate the separatists as it will only harden their resolve. I don’t care. Listening to these people, I am struck by how profoundly stupid they are. JFC! So incredibly stupid.

Her politics amount to libertarian-laced populism, directly opposed to the sort of principled, incrementalist politics Albertans have had before.

I would happily donate to the provincial NDP. However, the last time I did I somehow became a Federal NDP member. Has this practice changed? You need to allow folks to maintain their opinions on federal politics separately in Alberta.
