BC charges the lowest industrial water rates in Canada. Now northeastern BC is drying up - and industry could be part of the problem. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canadians have been OUTRAGED to learn much of our News Media has been sold off to U.S. companies and hedge funds, many with ties to the Republican Party.

Coincidence that the rise in disinformation flooding the information landscape in Canada rose in tandem with these sales? 🤔

Hopefully the hapless #cdnpoli msm political pundits will discuss what Pierre's support might really be among CPC members if the Party Elite hadn't limited membership review voting to in person attendance in Calgary. Pierre's 87% support in Calgary reflects .33% of last known CPC membership.

Piss-ant Pierre survived his review.

No surprise there.

The Con Party is effectively captured by private interests, foreign influence, and is the mouthpiece of an elitist class that wants workers divided so there is no meaningful change in 🇨🇦

No policy, only hate. No goal but division.

How does anyone in Alberta think they can separate.
These Maple MAGA twats don't own Alberta land.
Are they all smoking crack?
If these chuds don't want to be Canadian citizens -then get the fuck out & move elsewhere.
The land will always be part of Indigenous Canadian land.

Separatists - “Ottawa sucks so much! We’re so tired of them meddling in our affairs!”

Also Separatists - “First Nations keep repeating facts that make us sad! Ottawa please audit them!”

Fascinating strategy to get buy in…

I was in my early twenties when Harper was muzzling Canadian scientists, and I was extremely unimpressed with it.

Recently I read up on his government’s muzzling practices and it was much worse than I remembered.

Tell the youths in your life who aren’t old enough to remember.

Trump blames Canada And tears our closest international relationship apart.

"There’s no talk about a mutually beneficial relationship; Canada, Trump says, is not even a vassal state. Its very existence is dependent on the US, which means it is dependent on him personally. 'Canada lives because of the US,' he says, like a domestic abuser sneering." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
