Sheep says there is nothing to fear from the slaughterhouse!

The fantasy that Alberta is a conservative monoculture exists both inside and outside the province. The stereotype of Albertans by people in other parts of CA contributes to the alienation in AB. The unprovoked rhetoric based on a stereotype makes having an intelligent discussion difficult.

Things have gotten so bad a few people have found the courage to give Putin bad news.

I doubt anyone made the prediction, but it is a logical progression based both on Trump's first term and his character. The more good people see him operate, the less likely they are to want to work for him, leaving him with an ever shrinking pool of people to choose from.

No doubt there are UA drone operators planning on how they can hit the ferry carrying fuel trucks like this.

That this is being posted publicly tells you that a good many Russians have already come to this conclusion. He is not a voice in the wilderness futilely screaming at the wind, he is plowing soil ready to hear what he is saying.

And we are live! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this. Reading your posts made me so much madder than I ever knew was possible

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

But he will never clue in that when you help criminals stay out of prison, they will commit even worse crimes than what you kept them out of prison for.

Threatening to purge the elite is one way to provoke the overthrow of Putin to prevent the elite from being purged.

If you are committing crimes on a daily basis, getting rid of talented prosecutors would seem like a really good plan to you.

"As Project 2025 has done in the US, the Free Alberta Strategy has begun to fundamentally alter Alberta politics and society. It’s a reckless and anti-democratic plan that seems hell-bent on destroying Canada." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli albertaviews.ca/shakedown-fe...

But this fits with his nature. Bullies don't double down in the face of defeat, they run away (and then try to pretend it never happened).

Yes, but all those things will be exposed for public discourse, unlike many of its new democratic partners who are in complete denial about the levels of corruption in their countries.

It would be nice to see this adapted to distribute incendiary bomblets for a site inspection at a refinery.

Iran bribing Trump. An investment fund "facilitated by the US" sounds like a slush fund for funneling money to Trump company's.

The death spiral of political partys: dumbing down, not just their rhetoric, but the quality of people leading the party. Eventually this reaches the point that there are no leaders, no organizers, who can manage the machinery needed to keep the organization running.

This is what a quarter of a century with no real competition produces: mediocrity rising to the top as being inoffensive is promoted over being innovative and bold.

The opener should be: "Do you know if you commit war crimes in other countries, you will probably be arrested and sent to prison if you try to return home"?

News flash: "demented man acting in manner that appears disconnect from reality".

Surely a 3 dollar bill would be more appropriate for Donald Trump

The foreigners running the separatist operation in AB don't care about the Canadian constitution, never mind anybodies rights within that document.

The conspiracy theorists are in control.

President of Finland Stubb: “Americans don't ask anymore. You go into Venezuela, you don't ask. You make claims on Greenland, you don't ask. You go into Iran, you don't ask.”

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

This is probably one of the big factors in a change in Kremlin strategy towards missile attacks on gov't centres in Kyiv. They are unable to reverse this pending military collapse in the south and are therefore trying to disrupt the planning in Kyiv.

Danielle Smith - There can be no foreign interference! Alberta Prosperity Project - That's cute. We're doing it anyways. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This summary could be used for most of Trumps business, marriages, and "romantic" ventures. His only solution for those has been to ante up some cash to make the problem go away. It looks like that is what he is trying with Iran as well.

« The oft-repeated claim that organizers gathered roughly 300,000 signatures on a separation petition rests entirely on statements made by one individual: Mitch Sylvestre. »

Yes, but, everyone has to remember that the use of Oreshnik's is for special targets not typical military targets. The Kremlin believed (rightly or wrongly) that there were important gov't people in Bila Tserkva, possibly Z himself. Oreshnik is an assassination weapon in this configuration.

"Donald Trump: Looking for a Quickie", should be the title of his definitive biography.

Maybe they should read the fine print on the agreement first: the payout are secret and the IRS can't audit Trump or his children. There might be a few crumbs for others, but just enough for them to feel like Trump cares about them.

Reality is, the US is pulling out because all of Canada's increased defence spending is going to non US suppliers. It's always about money with the Trump regime.

Okay, but if they didn't know it before today, they were willfully blind. She betrayed her own party as leader a decade ago for personal gain. Why would anyone believe she wasn't above betraying her country if opportunity knocked?

This is a common technique used by authoritarians: yes, they are bad, but the alternatives are worse. This can also been seen in many Trump voters, they acknowledge that he is a terrible person and poor at governing, but they are terrified of the D's so they will support him anyway.

Shocking! Who would have ever believed that tariffs designed by a group of professionals after discussing the matter with each other would be more effective than those announced by a senior with dementia at 2am because he couldn't sleep?

Most countries that accept immigrants have always had 2-tiered citizenship, just not explicitly. Lying on immigration documents is almost always grounds for revocation of naturalized citizenship. If it can be revoked, it is not the same as native born citizenship.

Ukraine no longer needs U.S. permission to carry out long-range strikes inside Russia, creating political problems for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin

It is not Trump that gave himself a pardon, it is the Democrats who won't try to undo it when they have the chance who will grant him the pardon.

Nobody is talking about raising taxes only for him. Raising taxes on billionaires in aggregate would signifcantly increase gov't revenue, just as increasing taxes on the middle class only raises revenue when considered in aggregate.

Trump: "a limited period of time". Also Trump on the same subject: "two or three days, maybe to the weekend, maybe early next week". There is nothing like being definitive.

People should not ignore the strategic implications of the choice of CFB Edmonton as the base for this formation. This is a statement to the US.

The US, not just Trump, is a "one trick pony" which has learned nothing from its past failures.

Ukrainian troops have slowly but consistently pushing the front back for a couple of months, while Ru has been trying to go on the offensive, and now the Kremlin decides that peace talks need to resume. At the same time UA drones are hitting Muscow. Purely a coincidence.

This likely reflects a desperate attempt by the Interior Ministry to address their manpower shortage. Allowing retired employees to continue working is likely to have long term consequences that are difficult to reverse.

They are really underestimating how much all of their neighbours hate them…

“.. Every failed deal, every summit that yields nothing, every boast that goes unfulfilled, confirms what adversaries already suspect. A lame-duck superpower exhausts itself in full view of the world, and the world moves on.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Kyrylo Budanov,head of Ukrainian Presidential Office,in an interview with Max Tucker for The Times: - While you were in military intelligence,the Kremlin has tried to assassinate you several times& now you are leading negotiations with the Russians.Are they still trying to kill you now? - So,what?

Trump trying to negotiate the partition of Taiwan with Xi!
