Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

How would an MLA know which constituents vote in a provincial elections? This information is privileged only to Elections Alberta.

Also, any elector can initiate a recall, irrelevant of whether they vote. UCP wrote this law.

Wait WHAT?!?

Dale Nally somehow audited the voting records of Albertans and is using that as a metric for who can initiate recall?

And now all of the applicant statements and member statements have been removed from Elections Alberta?

With the US stepping away from foreign aid funding, Canada & other Western countries should be stepping up, not stepping back as well.
Doctors Without Borders is deeply disappointed to see #Canada’s cuts to aid reflected in its reduced pledge to the #GlobalFund.

Such cuts will fuel the reversal of progress in the fight against HIV, TB and malaria.

China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not - by choice.

Despite the US's economic success, income inequality remains breathtaking. But this is no glitch - it's the system.

A long read, but definitely worth reading.

It’s pretty remarkable how in a minority government situation, Carney forces budget votes without offering olive branches to other parties then repeatedly takes positions like this that are alienating to his base and own Liberal MPs

Vancouver's last all-night drop in centre for street-based sex workers is facing an uncertain future as the city considers changing how its funded.
If the KCS closed there would be no other drop in centres for sex workers, anywhere in the city. That's dangerous.

JD Vance & Ice Cap Asset Management can both piss off. Much rather live here in Canada over the US, or the UK for that matter where I have citizenship.

Trump's absence is a good thing.

As South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said the absence of the US at G20 is "their loss" & added that "boycott politics doesn't work".

Good for the UK & Canada.

Now work on a Commonwealth agreement.

I don't think we need the F-35. It is overpriced, it doesn't seem suitable for Canada, and its flight readiness is below target. Also, it shouldn't take this long to decide on new jets, replacements are long overdue.
