.Here you have Danielle Smith's letter demanding DOUBLE Alberta's allotment of immigrants. This referendum is nothing but a #WagTheDog move to distract from a disastrous budget and #UCP total incompetence. She needs a Scapegoat &Justin is gone so its the Immigrants.

With respect, Premier, we are not talking about what flavour of ice cream your colleagues prefer.
There's not much more fundamental to governing than the issue of separatism. To be indifferent to caucus positions on this is a dereliction of duty. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...
Sick of American gaslighting in Canadian news? Take a few minutes to sign 2 parliamentary petitions designed to regulate foreign influence in Cdn media & prevent the biased, garbage content coming from USA-owned outlets like Postmedia.

Semi-annual reminder that other doctors threw a doctor into a mental health ward (prison) for suggesting that they wash their hands before surgery.

“We need to raise our voices to denounce the dark fantasy of a landlocked, petulant petrostate dedicated to hoarding wealth, denouncing immigrants, denying climate change, spurning vaccines, protecting patriarchy and endangering queer kids.”
My greatest 2025 achievement was surviving another year in a dystopian hellscape. My 2026 resolution is surviving another year in a dystopian hellscape.

Read the study and think about population level implications, remembering that the vast majority of people have been infected multiple times.
What are the possible long-term neurological sequelae?
What are the implications for societies now?

Top MAGA Influencers Accidentally Unmasked as Foreign Trolls
Elon Musk’s social media site X has rolled out a new feature in an effort to increase transparency—and unwittingly revealed that many of the site’s top MAGA influencers are actually foreign actors.

The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?

Rakhi Pancholi came out swinging on the Wyant Report and highlighted all of its flaws and shortcomings…
It’s worth remembering she’s a lawyer as she takes Danielle Smith’s spin apart.

Canada must learn from this rapid decline, our free press is a cornerstone of our democracy and key to our fight to fend off disinformation and propaganda.
01.10.2025 22:47 — 👍 56 🔁 16 💬 2 📌 0The LA Times' 40+ Pulitzer Prizes, WAPO's Woodward and Bernstein, CBS News' 60 Minutes. They were all part of what made America "Great" and more importantly, respected. Now they are the walking dead, trophies for Trump's gilded bookcase.
01.10.2025 22:44 — 👍 34 🔁 13 💬 1 📌 0I remember a time when the LA Times, The Washington Post, and CBS News stood for journalistic integrity and were independent from government pressure. Now they are just sad proof of how easily America's "Freedom of the Press" bends to the corrupt power of Trump and his billionaire bros.

This is an unbelievable loss to Alberta. Dr. Markland was a powerful voice of compassion and integrity and he was loved and respected by so many.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends. 💔

A Canadian doctor explains the difference between the universal health care system in Canada, where everyone is covered and there are no out-of-pocket costs, and the American system where people go bankrupt in order to receive cancer treatment.
11.07.2025 22:00 — 👍 3723 🔁 1409 💬 179 📌 93A statement that simply requesting N95s be worn will result in denial of medical care goes far beyond unprofessional. It is a declaration that they will deliberately harm your health if you inconvenience them.
Those involved in this do not have the integrity necessary to work in healthcare.
This is a great chart. I know lots of people are questioning reality right now, but you're memory of living in Calgary as a child is correct. We did not have week long smoke events. It simply didn't happen.
