Province refuses to release early results of its Alberta Next surveys Postmedia sought early replies to surveys around an Alberta pension plan and immigration but the province has refused to release the results

Remember how the UCP claimed they were re-writing the Freedom of Information Act to make it more transparent?

About that.

In a shock to no one, it was about doing exactly the opposite.

The NDP have released a statement on the latest allegations in the "Corrupt Care" scandal.

With concerns being raised that the investigation being run by the former judge has been compromised, the NDP are doubling down on calls for a full public inquiry.

This is like 15 of them in the last 6 months, J-6'ers, state and federal employees, ICE "agents," and a host of religious figures .....all Maga/ tRump supporters.
HE IS IN THE FILES.

Some people still upholding the law!

The same subset who couldn't be bothered to wear a mask. They are spineless snowflakes who have no integrity.

This should shock me. Still, his growing boldness does.

Many people are saying that the section on habeas corpus has been replaced by this image.

Opinion | Mistakes happen, but consumers have good reason to be outraged when U.S. produce is presented under a Canadian flag — Toronto Star Using labels to help Canadians buy local is applaudable — but slapping on a maple leaf to exploit national pride is contemptible.

Putting a maple leaf beside a product as a gimmick to take advantage of Canadians' national pride is contemptible. During this moment in Canadian history, Canadians should be supporting each other, trusting each other, and not having to put our elbows up against our own.

🌍 One World. One Voice.

The call for a worldwide boycott of U.S. goods is more than protest—it’s power in action.

From Canada to Europe, from Asia to Australia, people are saying:
Fair trade. Fair play. No more extortion.

What part of the word Cheating don't Americans understand? Trump cheated and everyone is taking his word for it. Cheating is the only consistent thing Trump does.

I agree. Trump doesn't see us as one big happy family. He sees us as an asset to be stripped and sold. We will be second class- almost citizens - like what he has done in Puerto Rico.

“A bit foolish”? Ya think? Y’all ready to admit you’re as uneducated as fuck and dumber than a sack o’ hammers, yet? 🙄

Some of the expenses Brian Jean incurred on his trip to Japan. Total cost billed to taxpayers for this trip?
$34,000.

Take note of the cost of his flight alone…over $12,000. No economy for the UCP!

Alberta’s Perverse New Barriers to COVID Vaccines | The Tyee The virus hits the old and poor hardest. The province is erecting hurdles for granting them protection.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who revived her ailing political career by peddling conspiratorial COVID theories, has designed a program that is not only punitive but discriminatory, bureaucratic and Soviet in nature, writes Andrew Nikiforuk.
