Are there no heroes in this country? Does nobody know how to leak documents? There were a thousand of you FBI dumbasses removing Trump’s name. Do none of you have any love for democracy or the world? Such a disappointment.

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

What is the "Corrupt Care" scandal?

Pete Guthrie, who left the UCP over their refusal to call a public inquiry, summed it up impressively today.

And he called out the UCP MLA's and ministers who remain silent on it.

NDP MLA David Shepherd held very little back as the UCP effectively fired the Auditor General in committee today…

Including highlighting that for a government under suspicion of covering up massive scandals, this only makes things look worse.

Unbelievable. Chills.

Tens of thousands of teachers converging downtown just outside where Danielle Smith is addressing an audience.

I’ve never seen anything like this.

Time to listen up, Premier.

This powerful essay explores the cataclysmic shift in what it means to serve the public. From public servants risking everything, to a US Veteran father protesting a totalitarian takeover, we all must say:

I will not obey in advance. I will not comply. I will resist.
