Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

"Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Chlorine Dioxide, Raw Camel Milk: The FDA No Longer Warns Against These and Other Ineffective Autism Treatments The FDA has taken down a webpage warning about therapies and products making “false claims” of treating autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy ...

Chlorine dioxide, a chemical used for disinfecting and bleaching.

Pressurized pure oxygen.

Raw camel milk.

Under RFK Jr., the FDA has taken down a webpage warning about these and other dangerous remedies claiming to treat autism.

I’m sure there are probably a few greater disappointments in life but a bland cantaloupe is certainly right up there.

Family seeking $1.3M owed by Alberta separatist leader Dennis Modry after court order | CBC News Relatives of a prominent Alberta separatist who met with U.S. officials are upset that he has failed to pay back more than $1.3 million that he owes from a court order issued almost a year ago. A B.C....

"A B.C. Supreme Court ... ruled that Dennis Modry, co-founder and former CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project, misappropriated the money from the joint bank account of his aunt and uncle who suffered from Alzheimer’s and dementia, respectively, and ordered him to pay the money back with interest."

Most telling part of this rant: That the war will go on until "we decide it is over," not until the aims of the war are achieved - because there are no stated aims; and Trump prefers having none, so any result will allow him to try to claim a "win."

the kind of thing that gets played at a war crimes trial

You know that scene in Trainspotting where Spud shits the bed, and wakes up just covered in his mess so he tries to cover it up? Then he ends up flinging the crap all over everyone while they're eating breakfast? That's what the Trump administration reminds me of.

In light of tonight's immigration referendum questions from Danielle Smith, here's my chat with a Calgary immigration lawyer who argues Smith's reasoning for some of these proposed policy changes is flawed.

She’s blaming immigrants that have come to Alberta for all of her failures because she’s discovered that most of the new immigrants to Alberta aren’t the faithful conservative voters they once might have been and she’s watching her base erode.

Wake up hon, a new addition to ways unintended consequences has fucked the planet & humanity has just dropped.

The 'Turkish Tylenol' debacle reaches its expected end.

Alberta paid $70m to Sam Mraiche's MH Care Medical to import this medicine from Turkey, at a drastically inflated price, as a stunt to outdo the feds during a supply shortage. By the time any of it arrived, the shortage was already over.

In Danielle Smith’s address to Albertans tonight she’s gonna blame immigrants that have come to Alberta for her all of her failures because she’s discovered that most of the new immigrants to Alberta aren’t the faithful conservative voters they once might have been and she’s watching her base erode.

Ohhhhh boy.

Tomorrow’s address is going to be…

Something.

I truly can’t imagine being able to get worked up about anything to do with curling. Ever.

Someone once said that we as a species deserve hornets not dogs and truer words were never spoken.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

How’s that quote go? “You’re not gonna ‘reason’ someone out of a position they didn’t ‘reason’ themselves into”.

Just long enough to cover the time before Shulz leaves her job and won’t be able to vote with the UCP any longer.

It’s official!

The legislature goes back into session on February 24th and for 2026 will be in session for…

14 out of 52 weeks.

Years ago, during an extreme cold weather alert, I was homeless and survived by hiding in a heated underground parking garage.
Let that sink in.
We heat concrete boxes for cars while people are left outside to freeze.

A year-long investigation led by London police has resulted in more than 200 charges laid against 11 people, the seizure of 31 guns and 12.5 kilograms of fentanyl — enough to kill one quarter of London's population, police say. As part of its investigation into increasing gun violence last fall, the London Police Service (LPS) launched Project ALIAS in January 2025, in partnership with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). "What began as a local concern quickly revealed criminal activity that crossed jurisdictions and extended beyond our borders," said LPS Chief Thai Truong.
