Really incredible to have CTV, an entire broadcast news outlet, say they 'don't have the bandwidth' to deal with the type of harassment that Rachel Gilmore deals with as an individual journalist all the time.

Today the Globe & Mail revealed that every disastrous decision made in wasting $70M+ on Turkish Tylenol was made directly by Danielle Smith & the Health Minister.
Not AHS - the UCP.
They chose the riskiest option on the table as part of a political stunt & left Albertans with the bill. #abpoli

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE.
These are not the actions of a democratic nation.
This is the creep of fascism.

"When Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation" is the most important part of this post.
My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.
We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.

This is why there's no going back. There' no 'let's just survive the Trump era'. American democracy is dead. Any Canadian leaders still talking about a close relationship with the US in the future are a threat to Canada's security, economy, and sovereignty.

As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices. We will continue to reinforce our Canadian-first policies.

“The combination of forced treatment legislation, along with the potential for these new facilities to be in private hands, shows this govt is more interested in creating a profitable market for private recovery businesses than providing compassionate, evidence-based addictions care to Albertans.”
“This plan is anything but compassionate. The government is stubbornly moving forward with this ideological legislation despite a lack of evidence to support forced treatment. In fact, there is evidence to show this approach could very well result in further harm & more fatalities,” said Gallaway.
