I abhor the violence that led to Kirk's death. Let's place the blame where it belongs, on the culture of gun violence that exists in the US. Please don't bring it to Canada.

Can anyone explain to me why the Canadian House of Commons paid tribute to Charlie Kirk today? He campaigned against academics who did not agree with his perspective. He vilified people who supported ideas of equality. He promoted hate. This goes against the Canadian values I hold dear.

Andrew Phillips: The hostile reaction of U.S. lawmakers to Canadian forest fires reveals more about U.S.-Canada relations than any stack of trade statistics
I was going to write about the state of the Canada-U. S. trade talks using numbers but maybe we can get a better idea of the state of the cross-border

It's okay to be frightened in these times. But Canadians will hold firm. We are the front line in the defence of democracy. We will never back down in the face of the threats coming at us from across the border.
True. North. Strong. Free.

When they underestimated these true north lands
When they forgot how strong and free we stand
When they underestimated us proud Canucks

The culture war was running out of steam, so the billionaires started a trade war. Anything to stave off the class war we should be having.

This is one of the best statements in the legislature in a very, very long time. It has the added benefit of being 100% accurate.

Danielle Smith claims flying to Florida to pose with Ben Shapiro is “going into the lion’s den”.
The truth is, it’s a trip to a Republican safe space, a far-right fundraiser & more about pumping the Premier’s ego than promoting Alberta.
Albertans shouldn’t be on the hook to pay for it. #ableg

51st state? This Canada-US poll finds more Americans would like to join Canada than vice-versa.
Still a low % but US respondents were more than 2x as likely to say they’d like their state to join Canada. 20% versus 9% in Canada who are pro-annexation.

It boggles the mind how Premier Smith can take a harder line stance against the prime minister of her own country than the president of an enemy nation.
If she's unsure who is the bigger threat, her advisors have failed all Albertans miserably.

So here's the deal: Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028, Gillibrand in 2030, two of the cowards aren't even running again!
For now, the push has to be that Schumer has lost the party and betrayed the country, and must step down as leader. Pelosi spoke out against him. Jeffries
