Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

"Cooperative federalism is working," Carney announces as he pits one province against another province and a host of First Nations

Garry Kasparov at Halifax Security Forum: "For 4 years, Ukraine has been fighting for the whole of Europe. NATO was created to fight one war — not to go to Afghanistan, not to go to Syria — one war: to save free Europe from Russian aggression.

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

If all the servicemen and women who returned from WWII could see us today, what would they tell us? I think they would see us dishonoring their sacrifices. We have definitely forgotten. How might we move forward from here? Link for digital poppy donation: dev.mypoppy.ca/donation.php

I have a dream that one day MSM will do a story on Stephen Harper's International Democracy Union and how they've helped some of the worst anti-democratic parties get elected throughout the western world It doesn't have to be Canadian media, it could be any large outlet I have a dream

No one could accuse Donald of being woke.

This one's for the governance folks who love thought experiments and hate nonsense. 😉 Really surprised by some of the inane comments coming from governance "experts" about AI in boardrooms. Like, "is it time to get an AI Director" on the Board?! 🤦

This is such amazing news. Congratulations and thank you to all the volunteers involved in this campaign. If you are able to donate and want to contribute, the movement is still accepting $ to cover expenses, all of which must be accounted for under Elections Alberta rules.

Donald Trump's approval rating in our tracker has fallen to -18, the lowest it has ever been (lower than any point in his first term) www.economist.com/interactive/...

When Trump said he would bring on a "New Golden Age," he was talking about his wallet.

He has a point. I can't remember a SecDef inviting a reporter to their classified Signal chat either.

Good morning from these Halloween goblins

Not the WSJ having the only even moderately acceptable push alert here. NYT and NBC with basic journalism fails here.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Independence and evidence-based decision-making must drive federal prosecutorial actions.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

Walked into a Canadian Tire and no longer know what holiday season we’re celebrating anymore

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…” Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Is there any precedence in the history of the United States for having a foreign airbase on American soil?

"It’s happening in Portland. It’s happened in L.A. It’s happening in D.C. ... To be frank with you, this isn’t about politics. This is genuinely about the future of our country. Do we believe in a constitutional republic, or do we think that it’s okay if this becomes the law of one?" trib.al/FA8Dioq

James is an excellent role model. We all must be fearless

MAGA Alberta troll site begs Trump to ban me. Little wonder that MAGA Alberta looks to a foreign adversary for help. I have been blacklisted by Putin, being banned by Trump would be a source of honour. And I remain proudly Canadian - true, north, strong, free and never a quisling traitor.

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

If January 6 had been properly covered by corporate media at the time—I don't mean in January 2021 but in the months afterward—it'd be understood that that attack was part of a larger plot and a longer insurrection than Americans believed. We are still in it now. And the Act was always the end game.

Welcome to Day 8 of the Government Is Shut Down Because We Have a Certifiable Madman in the White House Who Would Rather Burn the Country to the Ground Than Allow the Release of the Epstein Files

The direct address straight to the camera at the end of this is 100% right out of professional wrestling. Finally.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

This is a stop drop and DO-NO-SCROLL-PAST-THIS-POST moment. Please for your own well-being take 2 minutes and watch this documentary...errrr...parody of POTUS #47 provided by the fine people at This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Love to see the honest #CBC coverage. 👏👏👏
