Thank you, PM Mark Carney, for showing not only leadership, but sharing in our collective shock and grief.

Thank you, Canadian media, for showing dignity and restraint while carefully informing us of this unspeakable tragedy.

The less voters knew, the more they liked Trump in 2024. Not Anymore
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

I’m old enough to remember when Alberta’s public healthcare system was the envy of the world. Before Danielle Smith & the UCP “fixed” it.

Yes, she did, and there will come a day Albertans will have deep regrets about that.
Thousands of really good paying and clean jobs. No need for all those white pick-ups covered in black oil driving all over Alberta!
She's a former oil lobbiest, and she doesn't care about you.
