“Carnegie, who famously believed "the man who dies thus rich dies disgraced" and gave away most of his wealth, funded 2,509 libraries worldwide, including two more in #Winnipeg: St. John's and Cornish, both of which opened in 1915.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Carved into the Tyndall Stone above the arched entrance to Winnipeg's first public library are the words "Free To All" but for the past 11 years, it's been closed to everyone.

Imagine thinking that your argument that you were unfairly passed over for a Nobel Peace Prize could be bolstered by anything a murderous dictator and war criminal like Putin might say.

The corruption, narcissism and complete idiocy all fuel each other.

The U.S. president shared a video from Putin: "There have been cases where the committee has awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to people who have done nothing for peace,” Putin said, according to the AP’s translation. “[Trump’s] really doing a lot to resolve such complex crises." trib.al/Z5v8yOt

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

The emails from the former Manning Centre are getting increasingly unhinged.

CANADA STRONG & FREE NETWORK

Dale,

The Liberals are playing a DANGEROUS game with our country! They’re pushing the Supreme Court to SLASH the Notwithstanding Clause.

THIS IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS OUR CONSTITUTION TOGETHER.

We’re really worried, Dale. This could spark a crisis and tear our nation apart!

Even the experts are warning this is a “SHOCKING” move that could lead to a full-blown CONSTITUTIONAL MELTDOWN!

Tell Us Where You Stand!
Should the Radicals mess with our Constitution?
No way! Protect Provincial Rights!
Yes, Let Ottawa Rule
I’m Concerned – Need More Info

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…

Trump's face is on the Trump Gold Card and Trump Platinum Card, intended to be issued by the federal government as residency cards for wealthy foreigners able to pay $1 million and $5 million, respectively. Gross. 🤮

Yes, the Official Opposition is *supposed* to be antagonistic of the sitting government. What it's *not* supposed to do is lie and cheat to undermine our shared national interests.

"Bitch up front won't let me steer, so I'm riding the brakes."

#cdnpoli #cdnpolitics A PM must represent all Canadians by speaking and acting ONLY in the best interests of our entire population. Poilievre is not fit to be PM as he cannot do that, so he is employing the #populistagenda of dividing and conquering Canadians in a failing attempt to gain power.
