Could not agree more. Mr. Shepherd is an incredible speaker. In fact, the NDP opposition in Alberta has most of the savviest, best-informed and best-spoken individuals in the AB Legislature today, several of whom also have experience as cabinet ministers (2015-2019).

Must watch! David Shepherd speaking truth.

The UCP is actively encouraging this racist behavior, because this is their base.

Shame on all involved with #EpStein

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper is in the Epstein files and it is incumbent on Canadians to demand an investigation into Canadians that did ‘business’ with Epstein. It is awful, it is uncomfortable, and it requires our courage to root out corruption.

Bahahahaha.

Will I watch Trump's State of the Union Address tonight? I think I'll watch a movie instead. Something less scary and creepy like "The Madness of King George" or David Cronenburg's "Crash".

Those living in small town Alberta still voting UCP/Danielle Smith should reconsider. Imagine your town without "immigrants" working in seniors facilities, hospitals, coffee shops, on farms. Without them, your towns would stop functioning. We'd lose a lot of good friends too.

In her campaign to do every single stupid thing Donald Trump does, is Danielle Smith going to add a clause about extraterrestrials to her anti-immigrant rererendum?

It’s a morning for the WH to hide the ketchup bottles:

Bad GDP numbers.

Not great inflation numbers.

Tariffs overturned by SCOTUS.

I've lived in Alberta for a lot of decades. I've never seen anything as bizarre as an Alberta premier pushing for a referendum in order to have permission to create an under-class in our province. That's not just American; that's pre-Civil-War-American. This can't go on.

Alberta’s NDP says referendum questions designed to be divisive Premier Danielle Smith announced the Oct. 19 referendum, which will ask residents about proposed immigration changes and constitutional issues

Alberta Premier defends fall referendum plans Danielle Smith stumbles when asked about costs of providing health care and education to newcomers; NDP says referendum proposals designed to inflame

Premier Danielle Smith said she doesn't know how much newcomers cost Alberta’s health care and education systems, despite scheduling a referendum to ask whether social services to those residents shd be limited b/c of cost

Hypothetically, and stay with me here, what if there was a pandemic and an industry, let's say meat packing, employed a large percentage of newcomers, who perhaps live in cramped accommodations, were more susceptible to the pandemic and didn't have access to healthcare... what would happen?

Dear Alberta,
In advance of the budget disaster, Turkish Tylenol, crumbling health care and education, coal mines, book bans, swan hunts, and deep, deep corruption, we would like to you blame immigrants. And Ottawa (always Ottawa).

Yours separate but together,
Premier/Governor/Her Ladyship Smith

It was CITYNews.

This is…

Remarkable.

After CITYNews ran a story about how the separatism question in Alberta became a distraction from the charitable memorial climb that Demetrios Nicolaides did for his murdered sister…

They have been blackballed by Nicolaides Press Secretary.

Absolutely amazing!

Happy Flag Day, Canada 🇨🇦

France has confirmed that a special prosecutorial team will review the Epstein files.

More countries should be doing the same. 👏

Epstein Files Prompt New Investigation By France Authorities French prosecutors are reviewing the Epstein files and ties to French nationals to determine any criminal wrongdoing.

French prosecutors are reviewing the Epstein files and ties to French nationals to determine any criminal wrongdoing.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.

Verbatim:

"It is important for us to recognize the unprecedented nature of what ICE was doing in Minneapolis...pulling people out of their homes, using 5-year-olds to try to bait their parents... teargassing crowds simply who were standing there, not breaking any laws.” - Barack Obama

Done. Next?

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger? Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s… "Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.
