Last week Alberta quislings were in Washington to further the break up of our nation. Meanwhile Danielle Smith is setting up a fight over a pipeline that no-one is trying to build.
It is about stoking the base and driving rage against Canada.

Jeff is 100% right that the New York Times is trivializing both itself and the crisis in our country.
No, damnit, #BrokenTimes, this is not "reality TV." It is our democracy. You trivialize and normalize fascism. "Mr. Trump, a pop culture maven, had relatively little to say about what was arguably the biggest news of the day: the engagement of Taylor Swift." Fuck off, Times.
