I get asked why I’m so passionate about #ForeverCanadian.

I chose to give a year of my life to the Canadian unity referendum not because it would be easy—but because it truly matters. This isn’t just about politics.

It’s about who we fundamentally are. It’s about our identity.

Palantir posts mini-manifesto denouncing inclusivity and ‘regressive’ cultures | TechCrunch Palantir's ideological bent has come under more scrutiny as it's worked with ICE and positioned itself as a defender of "the West."

Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.

Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California.

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

My kingdom to the first reporter with proximity to Donald Trump who stares into his hollow, soulless eyes and asks him: "What the fuck do you think the Pope's job is?"

And at this point in the history of the American republic, or wht remains of it, the profanity is required.

The President of the United States posted this.
That he will continue in office affirms that we are unfit to govern ourselves and our American experiment has failed.
Too many of us are too stupid, cowardly and damaged to be citizens of a republic, let alone our elected representatives.

The pro-Canada forces need to fight like their country depends on it It's easy to dismiss the Alberta separatist movement as a bunch of poorly-informed malcontents who are motivated by some combination of fear, anger and selfishness. Just remember: they said the same t...

AP Iran War LIVE The latest Sign in 2-week ceasefire DONATE Polymarket bet WORLD NEWS Gaza marks 6 months of a ceasefire that may offer lessons for the Iran war BY WAFAA SHURAFA AND CARA ANNA Updated 9:25 AM CDT, April 10, 2026 Add AP News on Google Share G 14 DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) - Friday marks six months since Gaza's ceasefire deal took effect, a milestone largely lost in the confusion over the new and even more fragile ceasefire in the Iran war.

As of Thursday, Israeli attacks have killed 738 people in the six months since the ceasefire, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry, part of the Hamas-led government, maintains detailed casualty records that are seen as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts. It does not give a breakdown of civilians and militants. Funerals for two cousins were held Friday in Gaza City, a day after they were killed. "We were standing idly, drinking coffee, next to each other. We suddenly saw a (projectile) hitting the men," said Anwar Saleh, an eyewitness. Israel's military said it had struck a "terrorist" in northern Gaza. Overall, the health ministry says 72,317 Palestinians had been killed since the war in Gaza began with the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

There was a time in the not too distant past when it was frowned upon, and possibly even against ethics rules, for political parties in Alberta to use cabinet ministers titles to sell tickets to partisan fundraising events. No more, I guess.

Proposed political neutrality legislation offensive to Alberta teachers, ATA says | CBC News The Alberta Teachers’ Association says the provincial government's suggestion that educators don't act with integrity or present issues in a balanced way is offensive.

"Teachers are professionals,” he said. “They already teach the prescribed curriculum in a balanced, thoughtful and age-appropriate way.

"Any suggestion otherwise is unfair and quite frankly offensive to the profession."

"Even when the independence referendum fails the damage will be done. By legitimizing a movement built on bigotry, we’ve legitimized the bigotry itself. Alberta won’t emerge from this exercise as the bad place separatists yearn for. Thankfully. But I fear we’ll be a worse place than we were before."

Georgia woman charged with murder after police say she took abortion pills to end pregnancy A 31-year-old Georgia woman has charged with murder by police who say she took pills to induce an abortion.

Republicans will charge a woman who took a legal abortion pill to end her own pregnancy with murder, but they won't charge the ICE agents who cold-bloodedly murdered Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel.

This sucks, man

they literally renamed the entire company after this

Smith pulled the rug out from both Mickey Amery and the separatists yesterday!

Despite Amery saying no unconstitutional or treaty violating question will be allowed, Smith said it will be allowed & it’s up to her to decide how to implement the results.

In a provincial first, Alberta government to partially fund independent school construction | CBC News The Alberta government — for the first time — will partially fund the construction and expansion of independent schools in an attempt to create more student spaces.

"Choosing to divert money to independent school capital projects at a time the government is facing a deficit budget is baffling, said Wing Li, communications director for Support Our Students (SOS) Alberta, a public education advocacy organization."

In an age where data centres are an issue and oil is backing up at the straight of Hormuz you’d think the government would do anything to get this electricity on line. You’d be wrong I guess.🤦🏻
