So...

A UCP Minister stepped down because of conerns on government procurement, a train wreck of a budget with at least 1 UCP MLA condemning it...

What else did we miss?

Also, see you at noon for a special episode/update!

So anyways…

The TBA folks are boosting this poll…

Sure would be a shame if you voted in it…

Signal boosting. Don Jr & Charlie Kirk’s ridiculous stunt in #Greenland, was, of course, entirely staged. Exploiting a group of about 15 vulnerable people, bribed with a hot meal at a hotel restaurant. Everything, always, is a lie & fake with these ghouls. www.meidasplus.com/p/busted-tru...

We are being sued for $6 million by Sam Mraiche.

He's the man who hosted Ministers & MLA's in elite Skyboxes and imported Vanch Masks and the Turkish Childrens meds.

We believe in transparency.

You can help us fight back.

This has nothing to do with evidence and everything to do with discriminatory ideology.

When a democratic government ignores fundamental human rights everyone should be very worried about the move towards autocracy and the overriding of courts and ignoring the rule of law. #cdnpoli #abpoli
After months of equivocating...

Smith finally says it clearly.

If the courts rule that Alberta has violated the Canadian Charter, she will use the notwithstanding clause to allow her to violate the human and charter rights of Albertans.

"Absolutely".

God bless 🇨🇦.

I love my country, 🇺🇸, enough to not decry a foreigner speaking truth about her—any more than I would laud a fellow American speaking falsehoods about her.

This is a speech worth watching, and is probably infinitely kinder than Trump deserves. I am ashamed at how he is treating Canada.

Biden's decision basically shows that at the end of the day there's little difference between Democrats and Republicans in power. MAGA and Trump will have a field day with this and use it as a rationale for all their future corruption, nepotism, and cronyism. They'll take whataboutism to next level.
This sets the stage for Trump pardoning January 6 convicts. And his supporters will justify it with "Well Biden pardoned Hunter Biden,"

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
