The sexual assault trial of 5 hockey players is over, they were found not guilty. But many of us will never be confident that justice was served. The judge mishandled the trial, dismissed the jury and the alleged victim was subjected to day after day of interrogation by 5 different legal teams.

21 months of genocide - and the west has not - correct me if I’m wrong- leveled even one token sanction against the Israeli regime.

Three Alberta separatism myths No, we wouldn’t be able to force the rest of Canada to build pipelines.

I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous.

But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

I agree…..longest line I’ve seen for voting! The workers said it’s been like this all weekend. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a record turnout.

What do a former prime minister, a well-known philanthropist and a host of developers have in common?

Well, their names all emerged from @drewanderson.bsky.social's investigation into a tangled web of corporate ownership of delinquent companies in the oil patch.

Canada needs a nation-building project. It should start with interprovincial power transmission The future is electric – and Canada should leverage its provinces’ complementary strengths and needs to build an east-to-west network and reach our full energy potential

If Canada is looking for nation-building projects that improve affordability, enhance reliability, reduce our reliance on the US, and set us up for the future, don’t have to look much further than interprovincial transmission.

By me and Philippe Dunsky:

Alberta to tie hospital funding to number, type of procedures performed | CBC News Alberta's government will soon tie public hospital funding to the number and type of procedures performed, a move critics warn won't improve the public system and will only accelerate private delivery...

The picture comes into focus

AB gov took ownership of public hospitals from AHS so these public assets can be used by private surgeons’ corporations under new funding model

Public assets in the service of private profits

This will only destabilize hospitals further

👋Some news

I’m running for Mark Carney's Liberals in Calgary-Confederation.

I live here, work here, raise my kids here. I want to offer representation that understands the economy and the public interest and be an Alberta voice standing up for Canada at a challenging time. 🧵(1/X)

Poilievre wants to kill the CBC. It’s a kind of move that authoritarians like Donald Trump do when they get power. Pierre P. is just like Trump.

There is a very credible threat that the country with the most powerful armed forces on the planet will take military action against Canada, and Danielle Smith believes that we are at risk of a "national unity crisis" because...it's too hard to get pipelines built. Utterly beyond parody.

Heartless, Clueless, and Shameless: 
The Trifecta of Terrible Leadership

Behold the 'genius' who knows it all—
our fearless leader with a pout that 
could rival any toddler’s tantrum. 

She looks down on anyone daring to 
question her 'brilliance,' as if we’re all 
just naughty children interrupting her
grand vision. 

But let’s not forget: her 'vision' has left
a trail of harm, heartless policies, 
and shattered lives in its wake.

Also? Kate was my boss at FAFIA when Harper came into power, slashed Status of Women's budget by 60% and defunded any work related to advocacy. So, we were forced to close.

It was the first of two times in my career this would happen.

Please trust those us reading the writing on the wall.
