Many large ships keep burning fuel and spew an entire town's worth of pollution while docked in our port cities. One solution is to make them plug into the local grid through a connection known as sho...

At first, I couldn’t stand watching video of Trump. Then I couldn’t listen to him. Now I can’t even bear to hear his name. How I yearn for pre-2016 when Canadians didn’t have to deal with this shit every single day.

Mr. Tough-on-Crime wishes the convoy leaders a peaceful and happy life.

@PierrePoilievre
Tamara Lich and Chris Barber peacefully protested the imposition of emergency measures that the Federal Court found to be unlawful and unconstitutional.

Instead of pursuing rapists, drug dealers and other monsters, the Crown sought lengthy prison sentences.

Justice Perkins-McVey rightly rejected the Crown's request, and sent Tamara and Chris home to their families.

We must get to a justice system that ensures the security and freedom of all Canadians.

I wish Chris and Tamara a peaceful and happy life.

This aggression by Trump makes Canadians’ blood boil and firms our resolve to boycott the US, while seeking trade and other relationships elsewhere.

Good morning.

In case you missed it yesterday, Albertans are pissed. And some 40k of us showed up across the province, on the eve of an historic teacher’s strike, to let this government know just how pissed we are.

Bravo, Alberta. Give ‘em hell.

@cbcnews.ca there is a whole ass in-depth story here, already written and sourced! Dr R was just in 60 Minutes. Please pick up this story. And Poilievre’s refusal to comment. TL/DR? There is no both sides.

As the accursed ostrich situation continues to get simultaneously more stupid and gravely serious, I decided to write up a very long analysis of many of the key issues. Bottom line: so long as this flock lives, it is a threat to Canada's national security. 🧵

Key recommendation from election interference commission. We need that Foreign Agents Registry, like yesterday.

Canada needs a foreign agents' registration act.

The public deserves to know who in business, in our governments, in our political parties, in media and in culture are paid agents of foreign governments.

The ostriches are not the issue. Bad actors who wish to undermine the Canadian government and the health of its people are. The cull must proceed to safeguard Canada's national security.
