Bring back CanCon. Canadian culture is not the same as American culture, but American culture is more abundant and much easier to access. Canadians need better access to Canadian arts and entertainment, as well as news.

These comments by the US Treasury Secretary, supportive of Alberta separatism, are way offside. Someone from this government (Anand or Carney) needs to demarche the Ambassador IMMEDIATELY.

Short of getting caught orchestrating a coup or assassination, this is absolutely the core case of what you expel an ambassador for.
Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

do people get why Canadians are taking this 10x more seriously than the average Yank, now?
"the separatists have gotten approval from the Yanks for when they issue a UDI [that will be backed by US force of arms]" is not good

Modry says they've met with the US administration three times, and if the referendum passes but negotiations fail, Premier Smith could "declare sovereignty unilaterally," which other countries would acknowledge.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation embodies the problem we face with reducing "citizens" in civic discussions to "taxpayers". Using public funds responsibly is vital. That can be done without conceptualizing people as mere consumers, which erodes the social cohesion needed for a strong democracy.
The Canadian Taxpayer Federation getting upset about a $2000 plaque that wasn't taxpayer-funded rather than the austerity that led to a dead raccoon lying on the sidewalk for days without pickup is so indicative of their whole deal.
The city thought Conrad the raccoon deserved a memorial plaque. Now Toronto’s best-known trash panda has become a different kind of symbol
A plaque commemorating one of Toronto’s most famous trash pandas has been singled out as an example of government waste, more than 10 years after its death.

NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.
Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.
