That little space behind the back seat? Next to the motor? Room for a couple bags of groceries? That was my seat.

this is not to say that they’re going away any time soon or that things won’t get worse before they get better, but last week felt like the administration started coming unglued and this week feels like the unraveling is speeding up

At first, I couldn’t stand watching video of Trump. Then I couldn’t listen to him. Now I can’t even bear to hear his name. How I yearn for pre-2016 when Canadians didn’t have to deal with this shit every single day.

Mr. Tough-on-Crime wishes the convoy leaders a peaceful and happy life.

@PierrePoilievre
Tamara Lich and Chris Barber peacefully protested the imposition of emergency measures that the Federal Court found to be unlawful and unconstitutional.

Instead of pursuing rapists, drug dealers and other monsters, the Crown sought lengthy prison sentences.

Justice Perkins-McVey rightly rejected the Crown's request, and sent Tamara and Chris home to their families.

We must get to a justice system that ensures the security and freedom of all Canadians.

I wish Chris and Tamara a peaceful and happy life.

This aggression by Trump makes Canadians’ blood boil and firms our resolve to boycott the US, while seeking trade and other relationships elsewhere.

Good morning.

In case you missed it yesterday, Albertans are pissed. And some 40k of us showed up across the province, on the eve of an historic teacher’s strike, to let this government know just how pissed we are.

Bravo, Alberta. Give ‘em hell.
