First Nations in Alberta will have a big fight against Ms. Smith and her government. We should all give them our support in standing their ground. The UCP does not care about their rights.
I stand with the indigenous people. We are all Canadians. Not just Albertans. Ms. Sith, (yes I spelled that correctly) must step down. Most Albertan's know her incompetence end lies. I also stand with 2SLGBTQIA+ people. We are all human yet, human rights are being taken away with this government.
Fun fact: Lake Michigan is situated entirely in the United States. It is the only one of the Great Lakes that is not governed by the International Joint Commission, a Canadian-American administrative body that was established by the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909.
The fact that the tweet-writer (not the Orange mango, obviously) invokes Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York, in addition to the 4 states that actually border Lake Michigan, shows how interconnected the boundary water system is, and how problems in one part of the system affect all the other parts. Which is exactly why the IJC exists, staffed by experts and away from politics.
Only TRUMP can destroy what works.
Why is the International Joint Commission in the crosshairs of the White House. This has to do with a piece of legislation currently in the Senate that is supposed to lift a ban on mining in northern Minnesota, which would negatively affect Ontario (as waters flow northward toward Hudson Bay in that region). I have written about that in my sub stack (which is free) if anyone cares.
Thanks for all the updates Cole. There is truly so much going on these days. I applaud the First Nation Chiefs for their stand! Dani and the UCP are tearing Alberta down piece by piece. And here in Ontario, Dougie and the PCs are doing the same to public education, healthcare, the environment… I would love the see the Liberals end up with a majority government. As for the 🍊 guy’s latest smear to our Prime Minister— so insulting! Elbows up Canada! Keep buying Canadian, supporting local Canadian businesses and stop vacationing in the USA. ❤️🇨🇦
Carney better stop flip flopping and state it clearly, we will NOT take part in US/Israels joke of a war in Iran. Another unprovoked war where children and civilians pay the ultimate price. What they are doing to those people is criminal. I’m disgusted by the continued War Crimes done by Israel in the Middle East which are never called out by legacy media!
I would argue that intelligent people get themselves as far away from illegal wars as possible, especially with the terrible history of the US bombing and leaving countries destitute. We are peacekeepers, it’s not that difficult unless you’re owned by Israel, which a fair amount of our government is!
I tend to agree with your comment. My point was that changing ones view or position is not "flip flopping" intelligent, reasonable people depend on evidence to form positions. That is what scientists do, that is what scholars do and that is what political leaders MUST do. Not changing one's position when evidence says your position is not the best, then one changes.
I concur, but watching what Israel’s been doing to Palestine and its surrounding countries, and then to believe Netanyahu’s lies about nuclear arms that everyone knows they don’t have. For Carney to speak of this, and Hezbollah being the problem, but not the biggest problem of all Israel. Well, I think that’s a slap in the face to intelligence, and to try to lie to Canadians instead of telling us facts that we could all find out outside of legacy media. It’s insulting. I understand that Carney is a Zionist, but the majority of Canadians are not, so as PM it’s time to take a stand against human injustice around the world and do what’s moral.
Although I concur with most of what you say, I stop at calling Carney a Zionist. My take is that those who form the leadership in Israel are in fact Fascists who have studied the Nazi regime in Europe and do the exact same thing as the Nazis during World War II. The only difference being the people that are being abused. They learned well.
Precisely, that’s what Zionism is. At heart it is a settler colonialism movement, which historically means removing the indigenous peoples. Carney has called for a “Zionist Palestine State” Which I thought was an abhorrent statement. Palestine deserves to be seen as its own country once and for all free from Western entities deciding on its future. Carney has never backed up words with actions, his pathetic food drops killed people, and were full of rotting food, it was embarrassing. If he had the balls to demand Netanyahu open borders and give Palestinians the food, shelter, and medicine they so desperately need, I would respect him far more. I am 53, I was taught Canada was a peaceful, humanitarian nation, except when it comes to Palestinians it would seem.
I’d really like to know what people found vague about Carney’s answers on our participation. If you read them carefully, they are worded in such a way as to not appear against it but not supporting a war. Then he has to keep clarifying for everyone. He’s been doing a careful balance with the deranged individual south of the border. And seriously, politicking by the Cons over this? Are we not united against the U.S.
Pp is a national security risk with all the negativity he spews towards the government. That and his overseas mission to do ...I don't know what...but clearly he doesn't understand what is really happening or how things work. He's sneaky and we aught to pay close attention.
I oppose vehemently conjoint military operations in the Caribbean . The Canadian navy is complicit in the US killing of people they don’t even know is they ate fishermen or drug dealers.
The RCN is not part of that Southern Spear action by the US. What they are taking part in is a totally different joint venture. I would suggest that before insinuating Canada is involved in killing innocent boaters you actually adquire some evidence that has occurred. The navy is not complicit in that operation.
The piece on the latest poll projection are really quite amusing. By extrapolating the numbers the pollsters claim Alberta would elect 14 Liberals to Ottawa. I just about choked on my tea as I read that bit of fiction.
Thank you for these recaps! Dependable, Independent, trustworthy information about Canada. Could you include more information about other Provinces...I know Alberta is BIG news right now but there are other things going on like the social services cuts in one of the Provinces in Eastern Canada.

Absolutely, First Nations are still dealing with generational trauma, they need our continued support. Smith is a corrupt liar.

Future Governor of Canada? Fuck that shit. Trump can sit on a tent peg and twirl.
Elbows up!

Keep up When leaders comment their words change as new information becomes available. That is what intelligent people do.
I would argue that intelligent people get themselves as far away from illegal wars as possible, especially with the terrible history of the US bombing and leaving countries destitute.

I agree!
I can’t stop thinking of the people of Tehran under that black toxic
fossils fuels cloud. Especially the children. Their lungs will be permanently damaged.

With the muscle that the US has been showing, I am terrified.
