Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

Local Economies Pushed Aside as Newfoundland LNG Megaproject Presses Ahead The arrival of a deep-pocketed industrial conglomerate from South Korea may be improving the odds for a $10- to $15-billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) megaproject off the Newfoundland coast that was ...

Town officials did not respond to an email asking how they intend to inform and consult the community about the project, what other plans they had to build and diversify the local economy or whether they would hold out for community benefits or revenue-sharing.

โ€œItโ€™s megaprojects that are always for export, and they are triggered or created by outside wealth and outside control.โ€

"...Fermeuse LNG is the latest in a string of megaprojects that promised great results for small towns in Newfoundland and Labrador but delivered little or no lasting value."

Can we take a moment to marvel how David Eby called a small group of people who met with US officials treasonous and Danielle Smith twisted that statement and suggested that a million people were implicated? And now, every separatist in Alberta believes that's what Eby said?

Here we have Kevin O'Leary defending ICE and verbally attacking/cutting off a Black woman who is calling out the (well documented) White supremacy of the Trump administration.

Mark Carney says Kevin Warsh is a "great choice" to lead the Federal Reserve. Hmm...

Was that before or after we knew that Warsh is mentioned in the recently released Epstein files? So, how would this ensure the Fed remains free of influence (aka blackmail) from Trump who controls the DOJ?

Change in government wonโ€™t stop separatist movement, says leader A leader in the Alberta separatist movement says a Conservative government would not stop their drive to secede from Canada.

The separatists donโ€™t care if thereโ€™s a conservative government in power at the federal level, they still want to leave Canada and join the US.

Former Alberta Party head files counterclaim in suit over Progressive Conservative branding | CBC News The former head of the Alberta Party has filed a counterclaim against the United Conservative Party, seeking $500,000 in damages and the dismissal of a suit alleging trademark infringement.

Good for Lindsay Amantea for calling out the absolute nonsense of claiming the word "conservative" can be exclusively owned by any single party.

The whole concept is anti-democratic.

Also that it has always been so. Under multiple White House administrations. The victims have always been considered "collateral damage" in a bigger battle amongst the rich and powerful.

Therefore, the goal should be to bring down the rich and powerful in all their guises.

Are we grappling yet with the theory that keeping the Epstein files secret not only protects powerful people (like Trump) but allows those in power to blackmail a multitude of other powerful people into submission?

And Smith is dodging the question completely by throwing out a wildly inaccurate number. There are not a million people travelling to the US to meet with the Trump administration. It's a handful.
