The sexual assault trial of 5 hockey players is over, they were found not guilty. But many of us will never be confident that justice was served. The judge mishandled the trial, dismissed the jury and the alleged victim was subjected to day after day of interrogation by 5 different legal teams.

I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous.
But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

There is a very credible threat that the country with the most powerful armed forces on the planet will take military action against Canada, and Danielle Smith believes that we are at risk of a "national unity crisis" because...it's too hard to get pipelines built. Utterly beyond parody.

Not the first time she’s disgraced Canada. Recall she was ashamed to wear the poppy during the pandemic.

FWIW this is what Shapiro had to say about the US annexing Canada:
“I feel they will greet us as liberators”
“It’s a silly country”
“I’m not saying Canadians should vote in American elections. God forbid. We can annex it and just call it an outlying territory. Like Puerto Rico, but of the north.”
