1/ Do the caving Democrats need to see a few more children being ripped from the arms of their parents? Do they need a few more specific examples of ACA premiums forcing people to drop insurance in order to eat? Do they need some additional polling showing how unpopular Trump is?

Wolverine populations in Alberta are low enough that they could be listed as a threatened species. Instead, Minister Loewen removed the limit on trapping them.
Please contact the Minister's office to share your concerns about this: todd.loewen@assembly.ab.ca (and cc our office too!).

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

Pollara surveyed Canadians' trust in news media in 2024. CBC is the most trusted news network (excluding weather). The least trusted are RW sources: The Sun Newspapers, Western Standard, and Rebel Media. Conservatives aim to defund the CBC and support the least trusted RW sources. #cdnpoli #canpoli
