Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

For those Canadians reading, the ICE budget is more than twice that of the entire Canadian military.

Alberta just got another approved referendum petition!

And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!

During the teachers strike!

Strap in Alberta, we’re going on a ride!

It's a well-established global phenomenon: secret police organizations always recruit losers, mediocrities, people who can't succeed in a competitive environment, whether bureaucratic, academic or commercial. These are people who will follow orders and engage in depraved, violent conduct when asked.

I do not need to be told that media helped create this problem. Or how many politicians let us down. And I'm a journalist rather than an activist, so no need to tell me to come up with a plan. Trump has said what he'll do, and those entities with a responsibility for responding must act accordingly.
