Waiting for a separtist to explain their paradox of how Alberta has been destroyed and financially ruined by Ottawa but also is doing so well and has so much wealth that we fund the entire country.

Approval of Carney government rises to 64%; 78% believe arrangement with China on canola and cars was the right thing to do. Two thirds think the Conservatives should replace Poilievre, including 27% of Conservative voters.

Mark carney approval rating on the rise.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

A lot of us are trying, but apathy is a huge problem. The MAGA style toxicity up here isn't converting as much as it's making people tune right out, and what's left are the loud voices of grievance politics.

Plus, the total they use for what we get back seems to be only the health transfers. They don't calculate anything else, like the child tax benefits or old age security, military, parks, food safety, etc. And of course, no mention of the 34 billion dollar pipline or subisdies to our O&G sector.

Imagine if a rich parent at your child's school demanded that, because they pay more taxes than other parents, their kid, who is doing well in school, should be getting all the extra resources that special needs students get.
That's what AB looks like right now, and it's embarrassing.

The latest ICE murder victim was, by all accounts, a good person. Caring and brave and kind. A profound loss. But the worst person in Minnesota doesn't deserve to be killed by his government either. You don't have to earn the right not to be murdered by the state. That's what makes it a right.

CC reader challenge: Does anyone think there will be more CPC floor-crossers, either before of after the upcoming CPC grievance fest?

The toddler in the White House throwing a tantrum and uninviting Carney is hilarious news to wake up to.
There was no way we were giving that man a billion dollars.🀣

Donald Trump uninviting Mark Carney to the Board of Peace is like Hannibal Lecter saying he'd prefer you not come over for dinner.

It did happen again. They elected him twice. And they did vote for exactly this. They just didn't care about the destruction as much as they cared about cheaper eggs.

America isn’t the way it is because Trump is President; Trump is President because of the way America is.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Honestly if Denmark/E.U./NATO offered to give him a symbolic gold crown and scepter as honorary King of Greenland in lieu of selling it he would accept in a heartbeat and we could just end this insanity

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it

Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

β€œhe places the sign anyway,to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists. Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.” - MC πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

BOOM!!

PP still thinks it's about drugs and many right wing Albertans will not realize that if Trump successfully steals Venezuela's oil, the US won't need Alberta's oil and it will hit Canada hard.

It's #ElbowsUp , Canada, more than ever!! Check labels when shopping, boycott of US products. #CdnPoli

All I’m saying is don’t come into these social media streets like Tapper is some kind of hero because he FINALLY questioned the official narrative on Trump’s health.

He made good $ writing about Biden’s dementia, but didn’t challenge Leavitt until now on Trump’s.

Weak sauce. He’s still ick.

A Mario themed christmas tree.

A Mario themed christmas tree.

This one popped up in my memories today. We do a different pop culture theme every year, and my daughters and I craft most of the decorations. The idea is to prioritize time together instead of money spent. This was our #Mario year.
Hoping to finish this year's tree today.
