Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.
An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

Those of you standing in long lines for municipal elections in Alberta today:
1) stay in line; your voice matters
2) the long lines are a direct consequence of the conspiracy-driven policy changes brought forward by the UCP government (and not your beleaguered election workers); be kind

The separatist movement in the 1980s was fueled by antisemitism, and hatemongers such as Doug Christie and Jim Keegstra. Now, separatists want an Alberta without immigrants? Well, if that's the case, it's going to be a pretty empty place - without labour, without investment capital, without culture.

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives.
The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

It would be really nice if one of these big news stories platforming Alberta separatists would mention that the separatist party founded by the Wexit people in 2020 was dissolved in February 2025 because they were too disorganized to properly file their financial returns with Elections Canada.
In Canada's Alberta, national unity is on the ballot
In Alberta, many voters feel alienated by the country’s elite - some are even tempted by Trump’s call to join the US.

How bad was today's stock market decline?
Of the 11,406 trading days since January 1980, only 29 had larger declines.

Fun fact: if you give the food bank money instead of food, they can buy what people actually need, and they get it wholesale.
Also they don't have to drive around collecting it, and then sorting through everyone's lima beans from 2004.
