Well he swore an oaths an officer to the British crown and then turned coat into a murderous traitor. But that's all history now.

Opinion: Alberta separatists have a blind spot with energy Separating from Canada would not serve Albertans in their day-to-day lives, nor is it a sound strategy in this fast-changing world.

About time ..and the Calgary Herald no less!

Canada is not at war with Trump, but we are not at peace anymore either.

Not True. 1981 Regan and Chicago's Friedman engineered exactly the same thing to keep wages low and workers desperate. The resulting massive transfer of public assets into the hands of the super-wealthy and and transfer of private debt into public hands.

Thanks Tyee for great articles. Do any of your contributors want to look for alternatives to American VISA, Mastercard, PayPal? They both clear in the USA. Visa made $36B last year. We need maybe a recognized European credit card option?

ALL Canadian Visa and MC transactions clear thru USA. We need to change that ASAP.

Russia and US seem intent on carving up Ukraine the very same way Russia and the NAZIs carved up Poland.

Do we have any alternative to VISA and Mastercards? They are US owned and all our transactions clear thru them. VISA made $36B last year FYI.

The US does not deserve it's seat at the Security Council anymore. How the the UN go about removing their seat? And any progress on moving the UN to Ecuador, Iceland or similar peaceful nation?

United Nations Charter (full text) | United Nations

The UN arose after the defeat of the NAZIs. The US is in legal breach of article 1. Time for them to lose their seat on the Security council and face international sanctions. The UN should also move to some place like Iceland or Ecuador.

At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against far-right AfD ahead of German election More than 200,000 protesters have demonstrated in Munich against far-right extremism ahead of the German general election.

Germans stand up against their far right extremists-- why not Canada?

Haha. America cares more about football than about their marginal citizens earning poverty wages or less. Not watching.
