The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible.

In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

🚨 BREAKING: Charlie Kirk has been shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University. This heinous and vile attack is a stain on our democracy. Violence must NEVER be the answer to political disagreements—our strength is in ideas, not bloodshed.

All together now…
BOOOOOoooooooo

Maybe NOT getting a deal was the best outcome for Canada.

Countries like the UK are now STUCK with their deals, even if the original tariffs are thrown out. #cdnpoli

If Alberta is in the red, the question Albertans should ask is -
Where did the money go?
Because the UCP have NOT spent money on -
AISH recipients
Education
Or diversifying the economy

They have spent money on their donors' healthcare contracts

I think we can guess where the money went

#CrazyPete, the reject from Sopranos Central Casting has probably made at least one person very happy: the lawyer representing the"Intruder" in this specific case. Do you want to bet that the lawyer will claim that the pre-trial publicity makes it impossible for his/her client to get a fair trial?

Poilievre is Back...With More of the Same - Policy Magazine As Labour Day looms, the imminent return of the House of Commons on September 15th means Canadians will see a new political dynamic: the question period

It looks like Poilievre is digging any old racist dog-whistle that he can find, in a desperate attempt to see what will stick. Also revs up the base to donate more $.

Paxton tells Texas schools to follow Ten Commandments law despite court ruling Attorney General Ken Paxton's guidance comes days after U.S. District Judge Fred Biery sided with 16 families who sued their school districts to stop the law from going into effect.

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery."
