Cancer Haunts Neighbors of Canada’s Oil Sands Wastelands

Cancer Haunts Neighbors of Canada’s Oil Sands Wastelands. The rich get richer and the rest get sicker. Oil companies never met their clean up requirements. And govt doesnt care, especially Smith’s UCP www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/h...

Did Amery show a willingness to throw separatists under the bus today?

When confronted with the ruling that the question is unconstitutional, he not only expressed skepticism they would get the signatures, he said

“Any question that breaches treaty rights… will not go ahead”

Several of these now banned books were required reading when I was a kid in Saskatchewan. A key competency then was learning how to think and how to think critically. Educated people are dangerous to the likes of Smith and Moe. Even Trump admits “Smart people don’t like me”.

Take note, fellow Canadians! 🇨🇦

Continue to boycott travel to the US. The type of electronic devices that can be searched has increased. Admissions to the US can be denied if posts to social media, for example, are not seen as in line with the Trump regime’s priorities.

This traitorous Christo-fascist in his own words👇.
#JamilJivani, an MP with NO ROLE in anything, went to the US to undermine 🇨🇦’s duly elected government. Absurdly appointing himself as some high level negotiator, when his purpose was to undermine 🇨🇦’s position for his own political ends. #cdnpoli

The Traitor Party of Canada Pierre Poilievre's handling of Jamil Jivani's trip to Washington, D.C. is more evidence that the Conservatives don't stand for Canadian values.

MAGA and their conservative collaborators are the biggest threat to Canada right now.

New episode!

We sat down with NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi for a conversation on a boatload of topics...

But what was the biggest thing he wanted people to hear?

'Rock solid' majority opposed to Alberta independence: Abacus Data poll | CBC News About a quarter of Albertans support the province leaving Canada, but the majority — nearly two-thirds — are against it, according to a new poll from Abacus Data.

"More than half believe Premier Danielle Smith would vote in favour of separation ...despite Smith’s repeated position that she prefers a strong and sovereign Alberta, within a united Canada."

Albertans are tired of this separatist government.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

What a great Canadian! He faced so much opposition to the socialized health care that became a cornerstone of Canadian society. My parents and grandparents had stories about having to choose between buying groceries or medicines prior to Medicare. Every Canadian needs to protect our public systems.

Smith is an expert liar. Very smooth and no compunctions whatsoever. Canadians and Albertans in particular need to wake up to how dangerous and duplicitous she really is. Alberta is a thin edge of the edge for the fascism in Canada.

Canada Is Already at War with the US—We Just Don’t Know It Yet | The Walrus Conflicts don’t always start with an invasion

To Trump, Canada is just another big blue state, another Minneapolis. We believe in a free press and a fair vote, the rule of law and the principle of police independence, science and objective reality. Because of this, and our small population and enviable natural resources, we’ve become its target

I hope Canadians always welcome people that want to be part of our democracy and make it even better. But hard no to MAGAs and anyone else that want to expand the disastrous right wing agenda across the western hemisphere.

Yep. #onpoli #fordgovernmentcorruption Ontario better wake up and get out to vote provincially when the time comes. Obviously, we need to vote stratigically. But we need to bring more votes to the Ontario Liberal Party. Marit is great but obviously she's not getting the votes to become Premier. #abc

Yesterday, when challenged on the reality that a judge has already determined that the separatists question is unconstitutional...

Smith announced if they get the signatures she'll have Amery rewrite it to make it constitutional!

A better idea. Stay wherever you are, don’t come back and give up your Canadian citizenship. You don’t deserve freedom, public health care or education, a clean environment, a safe food supply, human rights, a free press or any other benefits of our democracy and our beautiful, peaceful country.

PP has shown his true self very clearly over the years. Most people, even conservatives, despise him. Maybe CPC just wants to use PP like the Repubs use Trump-he’s stupid and ruthless enough to be the face of every evil they want to accomplish. Why else would they want him? To lose more elections?

Moving a public health crisis elsewhere isn't solving it. And neither is doing nothing about the most immediate root cause (unregulated drugs) while waiting for the next wave to hit.

This is Bush's "mission accomplished" but the Alberta govt does it about every 3 months.

Of course they are! When the going gets rough, Alberta's vulnerable populations pay the price so Disaster Dani's rich Oil & Gas buddies don't have to fairly share in any government austerity measures.

On the left, looking at the camera is Dennis Modry, Co-Founder of the Alberta Prosperity (Separatist) project. On the right, arms crossed is the CEO of the Alberta Prosperity (Separatist) Project. Sitting between them, with a large smile on her face is AB Premier Danielle Smith.

That's why she gave EXTRA time to collect FEWER separatist signatures, compared to the time & numbers required for the "ForeverCanadian" referendum signatures required?🤦
It's why she was pal-ing around with Co-Founder/CEOs of the Alberta Prosperity (Separatist) Project <s>
