Performing a Haka is a sign of respect. The Canadian team was honoured to have the New Zealand team perform it for them. The Canadian team showed their worthiness by winning 34 to 19 to secure their spot in the Rugby World Cup finals. Well done ladies! 🙌

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The Alberta government’s “surveys” are push polls with zero validity as a measure of public opinion and with consent baked in. If you participate, the only answers you can give will in most cases imply your agreement with Premier Danielle Smith’s plans.
