The only positive for the NDP is that the party leaders are almost tied in popularity. If the UCP could dump Danielle, they could be unstoppable.

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

Is the US arming Mexican cartels? Eighty percent of weapons seized from Mexican cartels come from the US, according to Mexico’s defence minister.

It's not just Mexico. The US is the main source for illegal guns, in Canada, Central America and the Caribbean as well.

So…

The UCP is moving procurement, which is the core of the “corrupt care” scandal into…

The premiers office.

Cool.

What could possibly go wrong?

I think it's legal Financial Administration Act, RSA 2000, c F-12, <https://canlii.ca/t/56l1c> ss 56 and 57 because there are no $$ limits there.
But there clearly (IMO) should be.

U.S. trade representative says deal with Canada must include higher tariffs Jamieson Greer says potential pact will need to increase market access for Americans

“If Canada wants to agree that we can have some level of higher tariff on them while they open up their markets to us on things like dairy and other things, then that’s a helpful conversation,” Mr. Greer told the CBC. #canpoli

I see on the other site that the Alberta separatists gathered more signatures in Arizona. People who feel so oppressed by the rest of Canada that they need to winter in the southern US in their second residence.

How embarassing that because of a minor paperwork snafu, the CBSA would send UK & EU tourists into the hands of ICE. Contact Minister Diab (ircc.minister-ministre.ircc@cic.gc.ca) and tell her that the CBSA needs to get its act together and stop this nonsense. #canpoli
