I love good train art.

So the kind of person that would throw the election to the conservatives, because the Liberals aren't left-wing enough?

I hope you don't expect people to take this article seriously. There is no comparison between Trump and Carney. Also, the list of projects they attribute to "flooding the zone" is a mixture of multiple provincial projects, not federal. It comes off as the nut-job kind of environmentalism.

New episode!

We sit down with @KeepAlbertaRCMP to get some straight answers!

Why should Alberta keep the RCMP?

Smith wants an Alberta Provincial Police…

Will it save money? Provide better service?

Or is it all just a power grab?

The airline lobby called in their markers and forced the democrats they own to vote this way. The airlines are in a bad spot, and since corporate money is considered free speech, money talks.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

This card is a beast.

Because it's not allowed without a constitutional amendment. The text states that the representatives shall be paid. It has no wiggle room. All the talk of withholding pay is just theater. They all know it can't be done, and it's performative.

But they won't. They will pay off / make donations to various elected officials, and then the taxpayers will fund it all.

So…

The only voting members of the committee to address class size and complexity are all UCP Ministers/MLA’s.

Wonder how that will out?

Maybe the Auditor General has some thoughts?

I like this one. I think its how the bricked walkway splits nicely and evenly for the colors.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.
