The bad news is that it snowed in NE Calgary.

The good news is that #ForeverCanadian volunteers couldn’t care less. They are braving the elements and are set up near Nandos restaurant, collecting signatures.

This Forever Canadian movement is something else…

Just got my CAVA bag stuffed with cash from George Soros to attend the #NoKings rally on October 18th. Still waiting to hear from Antifa headquarters if one of their corporate jets is available. Otherwise, I'll use my Delta "American Terrorists As Bad As Isis Fly Free" coupon. Glory!

Obvious point but worth bearing in mind during this ‘Great Antifa scare of ‘25’
