Lots to unpack here. Why is the Government of Alberta contracting a private company (RSG) to subcontract a non-profit to deliver detox services? Typically these contracts would be between the ministry (or Recovery Alberta) and the service provider.

Re-upping this column because the idea seems to be gaining traction. But I think I didn't go far enough in this: the government should obviously be deleting its accounts so as to not have their tweets appear next to CSAM. But it should also be pursuing charges against X and banning it in Canada.
It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.
Canadian government officials, what are you still doing on X in 2026?
The platform's own chatbot started posting sexualized material of children and other people who couldn't consent. With no moral bottom in sight, it's well past time our officials found other ways to c...

The incessant need to justify the regime's actions is so absolutely pathetic.
According to DHS' own guidelines, lethal force is prohibited against a moving vehicle unless strictly necessary.
It is not true that the cops are allowed to kill you if you don't stop.

WARMINGTON: Despite sad outcome, ICE not to blame in Minneapolis
If you run your vehicle toward a cop who has his gun out of holster, you are going to get shot, as was the case in Minneapolis. More.

“Brekelmans made clear the Netherlands would not provide facilities, helicopters or other support if requested for Southern Spear, Washington's operation to target alleged drug vessels north of the Venezuelan coast.”
DUTCH DEFENSE MINISTER: “.. We have worked together with the Americans on counter-narcotics for many years, but in a different way. When we see drug smuggling, we try to arrest and prosecute those responsible. Not by shooting ships.”

Am I correct that there’s no federal statute of limitations for murder so this could be prosecuted federally if we elect a Dem president in 2028?

Harm reduction is only divisive to those who believe that some people deserve to suffer harm.
Harm reduction is not a "divisive approach" and I need actual journalists to stop saying this.
Harm reduction is an evidence based approach which gets more people into safety, into treatment, and reduces overdoses and deaths. That is not a divisive approach, but a humanist approach.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret.
But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

An attack on Greenland would trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty requiring them to respond to US aggression.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:
-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)
