The GoA trashed the renewable energy industry in #Alberta. The Premier is about to pick Albertans pockets, on yet another pipeline to knowwhere, jack electricity rates to gas power Data Centres, while refusing to upgrade or expand interties to the grid.

What’s with the Alberta post-secondary funding panel’s detour into anti-DEI crusading?

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

"It's the latest front in a long campaign - with its roots in the United States - to undermine public education, closely linked to the right-wing Project 2025 initiative to transform America"

"And Alberta is often portrayed, both in Canada and abroad as one of the movement's big successes."
