Of course he was!

When Hegseth said "No Rules of Engagement" in their war with Iran, that is chilling.

While DEI may be dead, WTF hiring is very much alive. Being Wealthy, Trumpy, &/or Fox News-famous seem to be the only qualifications you need for success in Trump’s USA. E.g., the entire administration: a horrifying hodgepodge of unqualified sycophants.

Important story here. The UCP's conscious decision to ignore advice and to not promote vaccines is, as forewarned, producing record flu death rates.

"US Secretary of State Rubio said close ally Israel was planning to attack Iran. In which event, the administration expected Iran to strike US assets, therefore justifying launching a preemptive attack."
A naked pretext.

Manning has responded by calling Rath’s comments “highly inaccurate,” & telling The Tyee that Rath’s appearances on CBC and other media create an impression that “western secession is mainly being pushed by an ill-informed group of cowboy yahoos.”

Took a young man to the hospital. His right hand was severely infected and smelled. He is homeless, and just let a cut slide.
As he had no ID, he was unable to access any doctor's office or pharmacy. After seven days in the hospital, his right arm was amputated.
The Liberal immigration minister, Lena Diab, is failing Canadians. Mark Carney personally appointed this Liberal immigration minister, and now her own colleagues are questioning her competence. The Liberal government's immigration crisis has already wrecked Canada’s healthcare system, blown up the housing market, and taken job opportunities from Canadians. This is why Conservatives are calling on Mark Carney to: IMMEDIATELY FIRE his incompetent immigration minister! We should be putting our youth first as they face down an unemployment crisis, yet the Liberals are expanding immigration streams that push our young people further away from jobs. Join Conservatives in calling on Mark Carney to FIRE Lena so we can restore order to Canada’s once world renowned immigration system that the Liberals destroyed. Thank you for standing up for Canadians. Team Pierre
Demonizing immigrants must be gaining traction for the Conservative Party of Canada. Also, the federal CPC and Alberta's UCP must be sharing the same political comms strategist, who appears to be either an American who has worked for the Trump regime or a Canadian Trump regime acolyte.
