I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

Danielle Smith and the UCP promised savings and jobs. Instead, auto insurance is soaring, families are going hungry and youth can’t find work. The Alberta NDP Caucus sees you, hears you and is fighting for you! Share your story: albertandpcaucus.ca/take-action/is…

President Trump made false and misleading claims about crime in Washington, D.C., during a news conference on Monday as he announced that the administration would take federal control of the police. Here’s a fact-check. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/u...

Alberta’s unemployment rate rose to 7.8% in July. Young men have seen dwindling job opportunities since Smith took office. Albertans deserve a government that prioritizes creating stable, well paying jobs so families can thrive, achieve their potential, & build a better future.

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

"Some National Weather Service offices, including Jackson, no longer have overnight staff from midnight to 7AM. All three Kentucky offices - Jackson, Paducah and Louisville - are short-staffed. There is no meteorologist in charge at any of the three offices..." www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...

New in PN: Donald Trump and the power of the big (fake) number "Trump repeatedly touted the enormous deals he supposedly obtained from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE — all portrayed as new investments pouring into the US economy — but a close examination shows them to be largely a mirage."

Video from a former Rebel news correspondent, now whistleblower, describing how Ezra and others who work at Rebel News would create fake news, manipulate news or create incidents that they could report on as actual news. #cdnpoli

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Canadian military spending under Harper and Trudeau. #cdnpoli

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

The US hates Canada, the EU, the Commonwealth, other democratic countries because we've accomplished what they cannot. We've proved how social democracy works. Public healthcare, quality in education and functional social safety nets and supports. Everything they lack and cannot obtain. #cdnpoli

The $ spent on US elections is wack. Appx 5.5 Billion (billion!!!) in 2024 races. For comparison in Canada, last elxn each party had a $30mil limit. Only 4 reached around that. Total overall was circa 172 Million (22 parties ran campaigns).

MAGA Cons & Pierre Poilievre are morons. They scream for years at Trudeau to resign. He does. They scream because he did. They scream at Carney to call an election. He does. They scream because he did. 🤡🤡🤡 #cdnpoli

“analysis of service disruptions reported by Alberta Health Services found these 25 ERs were closed for more than 34,400 hours in 2024, equivalent to the province losing four ERs entirely.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.lakelandtoday.ca/bonnyville-n...

Sigh. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

Social Security numbers and other private information of more than 200 former congressional staffers and others were made public Tuesday in unredacted files related to the assassination of JFK. Many of these people are still alive and therefore now vulnerable to privacy theft and doxing

ICYMI: Judge Luttig, below, was once seen as the most reliably and sincerely conservative jurist in America, mentor and role model to Ted Cruz, among others, and always on the short list for a GOP nomination to SCOTUS.

State-sponsored kidnapping The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador—in defiance of a court order. Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definition—kidnapping.

Clay Thompson - Pierre Poilievre went to Canada's North, made promises about the North, without talking to the leaders of the North. Mark Carney sat down for tea and listened to the leaders of the North. That's Leadership. See the difference, Canada? #cdnpoli

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Police are investigating a report of fake ICE agents targeting a Ukrainian grocery store. An SUV with an “ICE” decal circled Sunday—then bolted when security showed up. These impostors are appearing nationwide,, preying on people already living in fear— in the shadows. It’s calculated and cruel.

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st. He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses." They didn't show him a warrant. They didn't give him paperwork. And he's now suing.

Friends around the world DO not visit the United States for now unless emergency (loved one You risk being held against your will coming in or leaving. You risk being heckled or physically confronted by MAGA maniacs if you have any kind of accent. If you are brown/black especially dangerous for You

Boycotting US travel was a political move but now it’s prudent. Visited seven states last year for work and pleasure. Can’t see myself returning until the Trump regime is long gone.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection humiliates Donald Trump by revealing that their officers are busting more people smuggling eggs into America than fentanyl. #cdnpoli

Even when we are on social war footing, Canadians believe in the importance of being polite. Considerate shoppers make sure to spare the next shopper from having to determine if a product is from the USA.

Two sexual abusers chumming it up in the White House. Vile.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

FASCISM 101. Pull people off the street and toss them into a van and make records of nothing. AMERICA IS OFFICIALLY A LAWLESS STATE.

DOGE is plotting to cut Social Security phone support, according to leaked memo provided to Axios. The richest man in the word going after grandparents trying to get access to their own money is vile.

A judge ordered a Brown University professor not be deported. She was sent back to Lebanon anyway. apnews.com/article/trum...

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

When ICE Administrator Homan says "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think." - that is exactly the evidence that I would want if I were bringing a contempt motion against him. The contempt is clear. I do not know what the court's response will be - and there are only bad choices.

Trump has insulted and threatened to destroy our country. The Americans are waking up to the fact that when you threaten us, Canadians play for keeps. The boycott is causing major economic mayhem. Other nations are joining Canada in the resistance. #elbowsup www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG3d...

🚨BREAKING: 9th Circuit DENIES government's motion to pause federal court order requiring the rehiring of probationary civil servants who were terminated. A big win for democracy and a another defeat for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for full coverage of this and all breaking democracy news.

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

If that is correct, then in 4 years around $644,800,000 will be wasted on frivolous golf trips.
