I don't like the budget (I feel it's largely a #BigOil wish list) and I don't want an election (I feel there's literally NOBODY to vote for).
I am a Canadian citizen and lifelong voter. I feel disenfranchised. I feel like my political system is utterly failing me.

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.
Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.
This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

So awful Alberta Premier Danielle Smith cynically courts separatists and other alt-right extremist voters for her political benefit to leverage the rest of Canada with the threat of separation, and now those separatists don’t want ANY deal with Canada.

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

Seems like those boos at the UCP convention reminded Danielle Smith how dependent she still is on the support of Alberta's hayseeds.
So the notion that the pipeline MOU would get the Alberta sovereignty movement off Carney’s plate lasted, what- 2 days? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Nothing demonstrates the danger of the Edmonton Journal, Edmonton Sun, Calgary Sun, and Calgary Herald all having the same owner like Albertans having to depend on The Globe, the Tyee, and the IJF to fund investigative reporting in our province. 😡

A thread on the MOU.
MOST IMPORTANT: Carney's move signals to the rest of Canada, and the world, that it's OK to keep building more fossil fuel projects.
Other countries will use this to justify doing the same.
Our children are watching, to see if we care about their futures. Do we? 1/22

NEW: This week on 'Whatever This Is' we explain why Danielle Smith’s pipeline hype hides something worse. Bill 11. A plan that lets doctors work public and private at the same time. Rich Albertans get a private pipeline of care. The rest of us wait longer and pay more.
