The Democrats lack leadership & tRump is descending into madness. When will Americans wake up & realise someone else isn't going to fix this mess? It has to be done by the people. The longer you take, the harder it will be to recover. Tick tock tick tock

We Have Descended into Utter Madness
A new sense of urgency is needed. Our national crisis has grown much more acute.

Danielle Smith gets booed at UCP convention after mentioning working with Canada
November 29, 2025 at 8:24 PM
Did anyone watch the NDP leadership debate? Is this really the best? Very sad what's become of the party. I've seen more productive debates at the pub. Lots of bitching but no overall plan. Their French language was pathetic... embarrassing. I'm betting the CPC & Liberals aren't feeling any threat.

Today‘s column is about the reaction to the UCP board voting to quash an Alberta separatism debate at the party’s AGM and how Danielle Smith's pipeline deal with Mark Carney could get more jeers than cheers at the biggest political gathering of the year.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

MAGA using blackmail to gain power over other nations. Their intentions are obvious.

The long read: The leftist party exploded out of Spain’s anti-austerity protests in 2011 and upended Spain’s entrenched two-party system. I was instantly captivated – and for the next decade, I worked for the party. But I ended up quitting politics in disappointment. What happened?
