I went all the way to the Alberta legislature to give a gift to Premier Danielle Smith.
But she wasn't there.
She was hanging out at a closed door Conservative MAGA meeting with the Trump crew that have targeted our nation's economy.
A quisling is going to quisling.
I'll see you next time Danielle.

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chat—including a journalist—two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre."
There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny.
And when push comes to shove we play for keeps
(ie. Kharmalov's ankle).
Sucks to be you Wayne.

The cover-up…

USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

Right now America feels like waking up in the middle of the night, soaked in sweat, and leaping, running, and throwing yourself squarely onto the toilet to release the sickness of your bowels, only to realize that both lids are down.

In the words of a wise friend:

When isolation, trauma & despair are weaponized; building community, helping people heal, & bringing hope are acts of resistance.

Connect people. Resist bullies. Protect the vulnerable. Shine light on the fighters. Give yourself & others grace.

The Trump administration has deleted thousands of climate-related web pages from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) website, stripping farmers of critical resources as droughts, floods and shifting growing conditions intensify.
