Trump is pissed about an ad that Canada recently ran in the U.S. showing Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs in 1987. “Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”

Not interviewed by Judge Wyant in a report that’s supposed to probe political interference into AHS -Health Minister Lagrange -her chief of staff -anyone on political side other than Marshall Smith, who left premier’s office last fall

Former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos wrongful dismissal suit claims that she was fired for investigating conflict of interest in procurement decisions. Judge Wyant's report confirms much of her statement of claim.

My column in the Globe & Mail: “Those challenges notwithstanding, separation is clearly not the answer. Even the talk of separation damages Alberta’s reputation, creates uncertainty, drives away talent and investment, and divides communities.” #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Carney: Canadians deserve the best 1960s economy money can buy

Liberals to Canola industry (total export value: $7.7 billion): take $370 million, please! Liberals to Post-Secondary Education (total export value $11B from tuition, more if you count foreign student spending in Canada): drop dead. What kind of economy are we building, again?

“The Trans Mountain Pipeline is costing Canadian taxpayers $34 billion but…when you think about the amount of solar you could put up with $34 billion, you get a sense of things. And the truth here is that this stuff is easy to put up.You can build big solar farms in a matter of months.” #cdnpoli

Attention, Alberta residents.

While many Canadians might associate this strain of evangelical Christianity with the U.S., it’s also active in Canada — and some of those Canadians have been closely connected with U.S. political figures. #uspoli #canpoli

Canadian fentanyl is the new Iraqi WMDs. The fact that we can't find the Canadian fentanyl is proof that Saddam is hiding the Canadian fentanyl from us.

My statement on Canada-U.S. trade:

What do we even think we are negotiating here? A "deal" that will be subject to constant threats to tear it up based on the arbitrary moment-to-moment mood swings of our trading partner's president? Trump's word is meaningless, why delude ourselves to believe he'd honour any "deal" we'd negotiate?

Jasper was "a federal fire." There is no bottom to this government's bucket of blame. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

How deep in your own trenches do you have to be to demand an apology from a town gutted by wildfire simply because an independent report found an area of improvement for you for the future? How separated from reality, how deluded by dogma, how fragile an ego? Yes, I’m still thinking about it.

Here's an excellent primer on Lai's 'strategically brilliant speech' on Taiwanese sovereignty last Sunday-'of course Taiwan is a country.' Well worth reading because the speech apparently will not be translated into English and analysis has been scant until this. www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/ar...

The fact that the UCP have a $8.3B surplus and have the lowest per student spending in Canada, have purposely broken our healthcare system, and are taking $200/month away from people living with a disability tells you everything you need to know about their “values”. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trump ends trade talks with Canada, resumes trade talks with Canada, ends trade talks with Canada, demands to know which European country is Canada

Donald Trump arrived in Canada and demanded that Russia be admitted into the G7. He falsely claimed Canada had Russia kicked out. He refused to work out a deal with allies on the Middle East crisis and he left town before President Zelensky showed up. Surprised?

Fun fact. In 1996 Ukraine handed over nuclear weapons to Russia "in exchange for a guarantee never to be threatened or invaded".

State troops sent to Los Angeles by the Trump administration, without the approval of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, were expected to sleep on floors or outdoors, a source told the Chronicle.

It's the job of every political leader to have a climate plan beyond #MorePipelines It's the job of every journalist to hold those political leaders to account It's the job of every Canadian to hold both our politicians AND our media to account when they continue to largely fail us on all this.

South Africa’s president jokes about Trump dust-up. 😂 We need more of this ❤️🇿🇦

replace 'administration' with 'party' and Trump sycophant statements consistently sound like they're coming from CCP spokespeople.

Excited for the Commissar of Education to announce the major quotas for the next five-year plan.

Carrie Tait of the Globe and Mail does another blockbuster story about the UCP government & Turkish Tylenol, and then first thing Monday, the UCP not only starts banning books, but does a presser to make sure we all know about it. Figure it out, #ableg. It’s not brain surgery.

1/A government that is willing to do this is the same government that would nationalize a company. It is the same mentality of state-market relations. This is not an issue of Universities need to stand up. The whole free market system needs to stand up. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

The GovAB appears to be doing everything they can to thwart the Auditor General’s, & the RCMP’s, investigations into claims of corruption at the highest levels of our provincial government, contained in the former AHS CEO’s lawsuit. This scandal is far FAR worse than we can even fathom. 🧵/end

While the premier's left hand man has been driving the province toward secession, her (former) right hand man is up to his neck in corruption allegations (and sinking). Makes it impossible for the premier to focus on things Albertans elected get to handle. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...
