Vote splitting in Ontario amongst the NDP, Liberal and Green Parties who all broadly share most of their main policy platforms is handing Ontario to the Cons on a sliver platter. The Ontario NDP and Liberal Parties need to consider radical change like close cooperation or even merging

We can NEVER NORMALIZE THIS as a country. This is a politician seizing power from the courts to pass law that violates our Charter Rights and Freedoms and every single time it’s used it should be reviled and shamed.

lol Grokipedia science articles are literally just word-for-word copies of Wikipedia

Elon Musk: Grokipedia.com version 0.1 is now live.

Version 1.0 will be 10X better, but even at 0.1 it’s better than Wikipedia imo.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?

An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.

I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

Rep. Ro Khanna is introducing a bill to hold ICE accountable: body cams, no masks, visible IDs, and de-escalation training. “If police follow these rules, why shouldn’t ICE?” He’s right—no more secret raids or unchecked power. It’s time to bring ICE into the light.

From 17-year sentence to death in Russian captivity for Crimean Tatar political prisoner accused of another person’s voice on a tape?

Russia’s FSB targeted Azamat Eyupov, veteran of the Crimean Tatar national movement, for his peaceful protest against Russian repression, with nothing allowed to prevent a 17-year sentence

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US.

Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight.

He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

Randall Gamboa in Nazi Noem custody for 8 months then died when deported back to Costa Rica.

So the government can spend $40,000,000,000 to bail out Argentina and $200,000,000 for Kristi Noem’s private jets.

But when it comes to federal food assistance, "the well has run dry."

This administration doesn't care about working people.

Things are only getting worse. Make sure to watch each other's backs out there. If you or someone you witness, encounter ICE or other federal entities, start taking video and don't stop until they're out of your sight.

Let's be clear about what happened today.

Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,

denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,

and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

Jared Wesley @jaredwesley.ca · 4h

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.

And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.

Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.
