Bessent weighs in on Alberta separatism, calls Alberta 'naturalโ€ฆ National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views.

Scott, youโ€™re talking to folk deeply outside the mainstream if someoneโ€™s telling you separatism/joining the US has support in Alberta.

As my elected Conservative colleagues can also tell you, Albertans are fiercely patriotic and support a united Canada. nationalnewswatch.com/2026/01/23/w...

Mark Carney hits it out of the park at Davos with a seminal speech, penned by him.

Some Canadians: โ€œGreat, but now do this . . โ€œ

I know we all have high standards (which is a helluva privilege) but maybe keep in mind the insane degree of difficulty of his job.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Jeez.

โ€œAt least six preventable deaths and more than 30 โ€œnear-missesโ€ occurred in Alberta emergency departments since the beginning of the year because of overcrowdingโ€

Many of you say that #ForeverCanadian awoke Albertans. It gave us a voice and purpose. I agree. Definitely, we are now a community and a movement thatโ€™s about to grow.

Letโ€™s take a look back at 2025 and at how it all happened.

Happy New Year, Canada!๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

What a way to end 2025!

Stefania just turned 105 and is the most seasoned signatory of the #ForeverCanadian petition. She insisted that I come to her birthday party.

Like me, she was 12 when she left Poland, also with mom and a 5 year old sibling. She too adores Canada.

A Year of Health Science Under Siege | The Tyee When leaders mirror Stalin by promoting false dogma, we must defend evidence-based reason. Lives depend on it.

Stan Houston: This was the year when the U.S. president and the Alberta premier further imposed ideology over evidence-based reason, endangering the lives of citizens.

Itโ€™s as if, in setting policy in science and health, they asked themselves: What would Stalin do? #uspoli #abpoli

The #ForeverCanadian movement swept the province with Albertans gathering signatures on driveways, parks and festivals. The movement mobilized Albertans to stand up for democracy, for the province's role in Canada, and for Alberta's future.
