oh, and 'No Pedo Princes' either!

(locals have been staging 'No Kings' support rallies, but calling them 'No Tyrants' because they don't want to offend their cherished monarchy... Hullo? Cognitive disconnect much?)

Is it just my imagination, or have music videos just become a sub-genre of tobacco advertising?

Ottawa tells chiefs to submit questions before meeting with PM on… National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views.

Prime Minister Carney pushed through a mega bill without providing First Nation leaders time to read the full text.
Now he insists that they write their questions in advance before meeting with them.
Are you kidding Mark?
This is a really bad look.

So let's get this straight.
Taxpayers spent $34 billion on the TMX pipeline because no private company would take the risk.
That's $1200 per household.
We subsidize every barrel down the pipe by 50 cents on the dollar because Big Oil won't pay.
And now they want another one.
As the planet burns.

The American tyrant is threatening the Boss.
Bruce Springsteen represents the best of the American spirit.
The tyrant is a sexual predator and convicted crook.
"We made a promise, we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender.
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend."

A scanned image of the first page of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” dated April 16, 1963. Typed on yellowed paper with a staple in the top left corner, the letter is addressed to several clergymen. In the text, Dr. King begins by explaining why he is in Birmingham and emphasizes the urgency of fighting injustice. He famously writes, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” stressing the interconnectedness of all communities and the need to take action against racism and inequality.

How am I feeling about having Alberta Health schedule my surgery for April 2026 in a private clinic? Alberta healthcare is being systematically destroyed by politicians and their rich business associates who admire the system down in Los Estados Unidos.
