I’m a Canadian that believes in “peace, order and good government.” I guess that makes me a radical leftist.
Long live ANTIFA.

A conversation I overheard between two chairs at my favourite coffee shop.
“What if I fall?”
“Oh, but my darling, what if you fly.”

Paging Canada: Your future doctors are fleeing the U.S.
Before the US election, my wife and I talked about moving to Canada. 2 days after, we put the wheels in motion.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

From EU: Three Danish warships currently patrols the Nuuk area, Greenland. HDMS Vædderen, HDMS Lauge Kock and HDMS Ejnar Mikkelsen. #Greenland There are also French forces in Greenland. EU is prepared for anything if Vance and Trump tries some funny move, we will give it to them

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

It's hard to see why anyone would willingly visit the US at the moment regardless of the World Cup or Olympics - if they are searching phones for any kind of criticism of Trump on social media why would anyone risk all that expense to be turned away on the whim of a border guard.

This press conference should be a wakeup call to anyone who (still) doesn't think Trump and America represent a clear threat to Canada's sovereignty and independence.

What about your conflict of interest (you & hubby) and corruption within the party? Also maybe some oil company (or coal company) has offered your a sweet board job. Or is it like the Ikea commercial - start the car ... #ABpoli #ABleg
Based on our partyloyalty.ca research, moves like this are very rare.
When they occur, they're usually:
1️⃣ leadership-related (not policy)
2️⃣ based on a projection of future events (not past ones)
3️⃣ a harbinger of things to come (more defections)

I left the #AlbertaNext farce in Sherwood Pk sickened. Two panel members were openly anti-migrant, while a retired judge and a university prof accepted the rhetoric by staying on the panel and never speaking out. Their silence is an active promotion of this hate. Truly shameful. #ABleg #ABpoli

Out of all of the images of '25, I experienced the greatest sense of schadenfreude with this one. The heir apparent to the throne lost his riding; & after a solid two years of campaigning at great cost to tax payers and his constituents. The CPC also broke a record.

Governing Alberta is a numbers game
44 seats secures a majority where the ruling party can do whatever they want
The UCP have 47 seats
If we can recall 3 MLAs there's a chance the UCP will lose their majority
It's a long shot but Albertans are worth the fight
Sign the recalls

So once again I'm going to do a thread on the #ableg UCP recalls
I will list the MLA, the riding & a site for you to find a signing location
Just scroll to your riding
Please encourage others in your circle to sign
It's the only way to end this nightmare
