Alberta can fuck off. Put on your big boy pants and refine your own oil.

We just built you two pipelines that aren’t even running to capacity.

PM Carney, PM Trudeau and the Liberals have opened the doors for free trade around the world.
They have also conducted numerous trade missions with our industries.
Now it is time for Canadian industries and Canadians to do their part.
This trade deficit is on them.

Being diplomatic is not ass-kissing. When the prime minister is dealing with an American president who’s an unhinged maniac, it’s advantageous to handle things with finesse.

I’m not interested in religious believers arguing with me. You have thousands of years of comebacks to answer everything I say. You’re just wasting our time. Religion is what caused the mess we are in and I have NO thing to say to you except you’re the problem.

I have absolutely NO time to listen to your religious beliefs. I don’t care what you believe in just keep it to yourself and that includes you telling people that gay people should be stoned to death.

🚨 BREAKING: ICE is setting up a new surveillance hub in Vermont to monitor social media for “deportation leads.” Contractors could track posts, tagged locations, even family members.

Pierre Poilievre’s “grocery tax cut” stunt is pure theatre.
Most groceries are already tax-free in Canada.

Instead of going after Loblaws — whose execs his allies lobbied for — he’s pretending to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.
