Again I agree with Max Fawcett.
“And for all the political costuming that his new campaign manager has convinced him to wear, he’s still the same ideologically driven creature underneath it all.”

I agree with Max Fawcett’s take on this one! Yes Trump’s war in the middle east will cause many to say Canada’s LNG will be in demand but there is a BIG but and that is that much of the world is marching quickly towards renewables!

The wrong First Lady is being questioned.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
In case anyone EVER wonders about Poilievre's stand on LGBTQ+ rights, keep this handy. It's NOT about "free speech" it's about hate.

Big Dumb Doug Ford banned speed cameras, promising better solutions.
None have appeared.
Speedsters will get away with it just like they did pre-cameras.
More pedestrians will die.

The USA puts $ before the health of humanity!!!!

Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social.
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression bill looking for a problem that doesn't exist.
The goal is to sow confusion and make it harder to vote.

Rand Paul to ICE officials on moments before Pretti's killing: "No one in America believes that shoving that woman's face in the snow was deescalation."
Note that ICE officials then confirm it was improper for her to be thrown down.
First Isreal starves the Palestinians. Now US stops the flow of fuel to Cuba from Venezuela. No matter the politics could these actions be crimes against humanity??
Bravo Mexico!
The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote.
Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.
Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121
You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
Picture of a green cargo ship with the headline "China starts sea trials for largest electric powered containership"
You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

Wise words from the National Observer’s Max Fawcett!

Hey Albertans & in fact all Conservatives, please read this article by the National Observer’s Max Fawcett. It clearly & factually shows Alberta’s Oil and Gas industry has been significantly boasted by the Liberal Federal government over the past decade.

Another important article from the National Observer’s Max Fawcett. Canada needs to find ways to stop Trump’s lies from infecting Canadians www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/04/o...
Max Fawcett from the National Observer gets it right! Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/02/o...
The winds of public opinion are at our back. We will press this Administration until we see impartial investigations, the departure of federal forces, and an end to this campaign of retribution.
Infographic titled “Alberta’s Tale of Two Grievances,” comparing Premier Danielle Smith’s contrasting responses to two groups. Left column: “The Million Separatists,” with a photo of Smith and text quoting her saying she will not “demonize or marginalize” separatist supporters because they have legitimate grievances. The actions listed include granting them political validation and refusing to condemn meetings with U.S. State Department officials. Message: “Your feelings are valid; let’s talk.” Right column: “Trans Youth & Teachers,” with another photo of Smith and text stating she is using the Notwithstanding Clause to proactively silence grievances before they can reach a courtroom. Actions listed include using Section 33 to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and blocking legal challenges in advance. Message: “Your rights are a nuisance; let’s override them.” Bottom banner reads: “In Alberta, ‘Freedom’ is for those who want to leave Canada, but not for those who want to use the Canadian Charter,” with the word “Freedom” highlighted in gold.
Danielle Smith won’t “demonize” separatists courting foreign support — she validates them from the highest office. But trans youth and teachers? She reaches for the Notwithstanding Clause to silence them before they ever see a courtroom. Freedom, UCP-style. #ABpoli #ABleg #CDNpoli #TransRights
No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.
