Such an interesting thread...

The current ME situation mirrors *part* of what resulted in the Alberta myth-fest that is the National Energy Program. There was the desire to inoculate Canada from oil-price and -supply shocks. While AB celebrated streets paved with oil gold, the rest of the country.../2 #abpoli #cdnpoli

On behalf of myself, the Catbinet and all Catnadians, I'd like to wish a happy Restoration of Independence Day to the people of Lithuania including our good furriend Rango, Official Cat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

So what’s he saying—Does he want it done through an election instead? 👀

"Why was the insurance industry given a seat at the table to draft Alberta's two-tier health care legislation while doctors and patients were ignored?"

Connect the dots

Angus: They’ve created absolute chaos in the Middle East, and yet they take time out to insult Canada — to say that they can take us over. And then Trump again today doubles down, calling our prime minister his governor.

Trump says the decision to bomb Iran came after advice from Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and Pete Hegseth. Who takes advice about starting a war from 2 real estate developers and a drunk former TV co-host? #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Joe Rogan says Trump supporters feel ‘betrayed’ over Iran war But not over the lies and racism? No problems with the woman hating and psycho flip flopping? Stealing? Bribe taking? Pardoning huge drug dealers? No betrayal there? Screw off.

Don Davis and the rest of the Mp's who still haven't realized that MP's ...all of them, work for the people NOT the parties. If the NDP & Cons had better leadership people wouldn't be crossing the floor to join one that has great leadership & a clear vision for Canada #TeamCanada

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

If you haven't read it, consider picking up a copy of John Grisham's Playing for Pizza, a fictional account of a failed NFL football player whose agent finds him a spot playing in the Italian Football League. I still think of that amusing book from time to time. There's a Wiki page about it.

I like that when AB conservative premier Alison Redford proposed exactly the same thing she called it the National Energy 'Strategy' instead of 'Plan' in an attempt to fool all the irrational P. Trudeau haters.

I wrote about one of the worst Americans of the late 20th century. He's dead but his dream lives on — in Israel: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-no-wor...

The Vatican newspaper is the only one in the Western world to run the photograph of 150 Iranian girls' graves — killed by Tr*mp's military strikes — on its front page.

JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS!!! 🤭🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😁😆😋🙃

Back to banning books. Those afraid of libraries are the ones who should be using them. “It's the most significant order banning books in the history of Canada. There's never been anything like this.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's only a matter of time before some yahoo Albertan wonders why, because AB exports oil, we can't have a lower price at the pump. Er, for faded memories, that was part of the NEP. Bloomberg host Anna Edwards asked a pundit last night if there were anything the US could do.../2 #abpoli #cdenpoli

More than trade … our govt is working on multiple things at the same time - you wouldn’t know it from the media’s coverage

Another lie to justify his stupid and illegal war.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones. We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in. Everything is for sale.

I love watching Knowledge Network, Canadian province BC's public broadcaster. I have been watching rail adventures, tonight an episode about rail travel in Portugal. The Douro valley, the coast...At an artisan ceramic tile studio in Aviero (or Lisbon), this tile was displayed. No kidding.... /2

It's time for EU and NATO to eject Hungary. Clearly, Hungary is not strengthening Europe's "eastern flank". www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

IMHO no broadcaster, host, *politician*, restaurant server, hospital worker, civil servant, etc. should be wearing an *visible* Christian cross. I am not interested in their choice of religion and I object to their attempt to proselytize or righteously defend their political stances.

The last of the boomers + GenX I agree with this...

Too many of us, including media figures, are too often looking for that “gotcha moment”. We are interpreting what we experience to fit and are unwilling to acknowledge when we don’t fully understand. This seems to be exasperated by the want of a quick answer always not a thoughtful response.

Many complain that facts have faded away in favour of opinion. But, then, many of the same people are addicted to opinion to the point that they want politicians to express opinions that will have zero influence on state actors and that therefore would be useless posturing. /2

Fantastic news for BC - no more time changes after March 8th as we are adopting permanent ‘Pacific time’. Woohoo!

HAYES: “Trump’s war with Iran is illegal, reckless, and wrong. We’re only on Day 3 and it is already an indelible stain on this country.”

In the @wsj.com today: 🤷🏼🇺🇸🤷🏼

“Dennis Modry, a co-founder of the group, told NBC News that border security, the Canadian pension plan, taxes, national debt, and the possible currency revamp were on the table. So was the development of an independent military” #ableg #cdnpoli www.thedailybeast.com/group-plotti...

🚨🚨 General reminder: Poilievre DOES NOT have a security clearance and therefore has no intel on Iran. Anything he says on the matter is speculation. Just another 🤡🤡

Forget the drawings. This is a flawed project being sold with false claims. My column: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

This you, Donald? "Our president will start a war w/Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective. So the only way he figures that he’s going to get re-elected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war w/Iran." — DJT, Nov. 2011 🧾📺 is.gd/6uPyDz

This article is hilarious. "Responsible government" is something Alberta has rarely seen, but apparently the "cowboy yahoos" believe that they have written the book on it. Not unlike the yellow vest yahoos and the clownvoy yahoos. thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

Kuwait (reportedly) has accidentally shot down three American fighters. What a sh*t-show…

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Remember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

In Another Instalment of: “Didn’t Age Well” 🥴 Trump in 2024: I can tell you you’re not going to have a war with Iran with me as president

Lack of propaganda was the excuse, lack of investigation is the solution

Still up on the official White House website: www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched. I dug into it. Could confidently write here: "It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
