So am I understanding this right? Alberta Premier Danielle Smith asked the Trump/MAGA regime (who are currently attacking Canada) to time their attacks in order to influence the Canadian Federal Election and benefit Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party?

A reminder- Donald Trump is officially tearing up what his favourite person had called the "largest, most significant, modern and balanced trade agreement in history."

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau."
Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

To be clear, this story blows holes in the UCP's narrative that the scandal is all AHS's fault.
The minister who called for LaGrange's removal may now be implicated in a separate swindle involving the same players, government documents show.

This goes well beyond a simple wrongful dismissal suit. It provides a timeline and paper trail of extensive political interference on behalf of one company (Alberta Surgical Group). Shocking that all Mentzelopoulos is seeking is to paid for the remainder of her contract.

The biggest liars in the world posed as free speech advocates because “everyone must pay for, listen to, and agree with what we say” doesn’t poll well, and the stupidest people in the world (many of them in key positions in America’s newsrooms) fell for it.
