Nope. He’s gonna do something. He’s gonna declare war on Venezuela or implement martial law or cancel Christmas or something.
Maybe he’s planning on narrating the Epstein files.

Another poison pill buried in Mark Carney’s budget: a repeal of a reduced postage rates for books and shipments between libraries.

We can’t allow our public healthcare system to be dismantled by corruption.

Albertans deserve a full public inquiry!
New details continue to emerge as to the extent of UCP corruption. The carefully constrained Wyant Report left more questions than answers. Albertans need & deserve a full public inquiry into CorruptCare.

Seventeen months later, CPS hasn’t even acknowledged the request, let alone completed it.
