Responding to reaction of video of members of Carney’s front bench giving Charlie Kirk a standing ovation in the House of Commons, Liberal MP Ernie Klassen clarifies he did not personally participate:

“No, I did not stand. Neither did many of my Liberal colleagues.”

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was:
* successful at everything he tried
* genuinely intelligent & insightful
* desired by women
* envied by men
* an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with
* a tireless, lifelong philanthropist
... and he died peacefully in his sleep.

10/10 life. No notes.

How Canada should respond to Charlie Kirk’s murder Doing better here in Canada means refusing to import the worst elements of America’s ongoing culture war into our own politics.

Alberta’s oil and gas legacy is a ‘gigantic problem’: top political staffer | The Narwhal Alberta’s Mature Asset Strategy aims to deal with the oil and gas industry’s unpaid taxes and orphaned wells. A pitch in Warburg didn’t go as planned

"Alberta’s oil and gas well problem is a ‘giant stinking pile of shit,’ according to the premier’s special advisor, who wrote the province’s strategy to address the issue and is on the Alberta Energy Regulator board."

Government seeks dance partner as Poilievre returns to attack mode Parliament is back and, with it, Question Periods filled with jabs and clever retorts. It remains to be seen whether the Conservatives will once again help the Liberals advance their agenda, like they...

The federal government needs support for its upcoming budget and several pieces of legislation -- who will be their dance partner in this minority parliament? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/15/n...

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Wow.. yes, people shouldn't be shot for their words. That really should go without saying. And no, we don't have to honour a hateful bigot. Why are we letting US insanity infect our government process anymore than we have to?

What the chicken-fried fuck is this this nazi apologia, Canada? Charlie Kirk was anti-free speech and pro-gun. You look like a bunch of poorly-trained seals “honouring” him like this.

Should add it’s bad anyway. But even worse

Ooof. If this is true, it’s extremely bad.

Mark Carney's climate hinge point is at hand Why the prime minister's promise of a "carbon competitiveness strategy" is about more than just reducing emissions — and why it might set Canada up for success

Climate policy is no longer merely about reducing emissions or averting a crisis in the future. It's now a key part of the ongoing geopolitical conflict between China and the United States — one that presents a clear risk to Canada's interests. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/10/o...

Honest question. Are there any books in Alberta schools that have images of sexual acts? I’d be surprised if this rollback leaves any that will be banned.
