The reason MAGA think that people who protest are all paid to do what they do is that they have no understanding of integrity,and doing things because just because it's the right thing to do.
No compensation needed!

Running and ruining the world!

I know many who identify with the Conservatives are not on board with everything that PP says, but they don't speak up.
As happened in the US, if you don't speak up you get . . .the US!

Split the CPC into a "sane" and "not sane" party. The nut jobs will crawl back into the woodwork.

Canada wins!

Is there anybody in the USA who is not angry about something?

I empathize with this thought, but this is not the way.

As they are the two leaders who could have stopped the war at any time in the past, Trump and Netanyahu cannot be praised for stopping it. Nor is Hamas blameless.

Should we say thank you for not killing more than the thousands you already killed?

More than half of CDC staffers recently fired by Trump administration have been reinstated | CNN Hundreds of staff fired from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention late Friday have been reinstated, according to the American Federation of Government Employees.

"More than half of CDC staffers recently fired by Trump administration have been reinstated "

The chaos that is the current American administration serves to add stress to the employees and the public.

Are they looking to get credit for creating new jobs with this ??

Even if you take Elon and Tesla out of the equation the cybertruck is one ugly piece of tranportation.

Too many words.
You could have stopped at "terrible!"

My young photography students will not use a tripod for love or money.

Too much trouble they say.

And yet, I found a drone attachment that would hold it steady enough they would likely pay me to use it.

Immediately after him came the wild turkeys!

I swear this squirrel has been crossing our deck every five minutes for the last several days. It's his own private super highway.

I'm miles from becoming completely metrified!

This is my view this evening.
Sunsets never get old.

What is Antifa
Does it have headquarters (other than Millers head)
Who is the leader
Does it have meetings
Membership cards?
Member Registry?
Branches?
Flag or logo, armbands or crests?
Conventions or training camps?
Minimum age to join?
Fundraisers

They are a Figment of MAGA imagination!

This will be different only if Hamas gives up its guns. On the other hand, they could get more from Iran at any time.

Palestinians in Gaza, Israelis rejoice as Israel and Hamas agree to halt fighting, release hostages | CBC

I know that I'm raining on this parade, but it will be a long time before we can trust that this is permanent.

As peace in the Middle East is an elusive quest, being engineered by insane leaders, the chances of success are very low.

I don't like to rain on this parade but I've seen this movie before.

I have hope for all involved but shattering peace in the Middle East is so easily done. It will be months before we can trust that this process is working.

The insane leaders are still leading!

I also believe that the funding model works well with the Province paying the same for local students as is paid in the public system. Foreign students pay the full shot. I'm told that in BC, private schools are a plus for the economy.

I can't speak to what's happening in Alberta, as it seems to have gone rogue, but not all private schools are the same.
There are three private schools in our area (BC), not all of whose students come from wealthy homes. Many require special assistance that the public system struggles to provide.

"According to Cornell University, plenary authority is "power that is wide-ranging, broadly construed, and often limitless for all practical purposes."

Put another way, Dictator!

" some illegal (pregnant woman) rabble rouser who came in from some South American country"

Name one, Mike!

What's in a word?

Without the private schools, Alberta would spend significantly more money on its school system. Many students with special needs would get lost in the public system. I don't think Alicia Taylor has a full grasp of the consequences should she get what she wants.

'Canada will love us again,' Trump says as he meets with Carney to hash out tariff deal.

I expect that he is right. It just won't happen until he and all of his gold macaronied walls are gone.
