Trudeau keeps getting booed at the UCP convention. They just can't stop with him.
And he and Notley gave them the TMX pipeline.

What a remarkable waste of money.
👀 Russia will spend at least $166 billion on the war against Ukraine in 2026: Putin signed the budget law.
This is a third of Russia's entire annual budget and, probably, the largest military spending since the USSR. Russia has cut social spending.

In Canada, an anti-choice disinformation campaign is targeting later abortions. Undercover videos at 4 clinics show staff handling an anti-choice fake patient with compassion and support. Abortion is healthcare, Canada has no laws or gestational limits, and patients' needs are respected.
