Rep Garcia: Howard Lutnick has consistently been all over the place when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. He went into business with Epstein. He visited his island. He traveled with Epstein. He has to explain why he has continued to lie and be part of this massive White House coverup.

Alberta has been a province for 121 years and have had exactly one left-ish government in all that time. Two thoughts: why gerrymander the ridings when there is such a slim chance of a non-Con government? What horrific shit do they have planned with little to no oppo members in the leg? #abpoli

Washington demanding 'entry fee' from Ottawa before trade talks: sources | CBC News The Trump administration is demanding what amounts to an "entry fee" from Canada to engage in trade talks toward a revised Canada-United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA), four sources told R...

Canada has already paid an "entry fee" in these negotiations — dropping counter-tariffs and scrapping the Digital Services Tax, a modest tax on the world's most profitable tech giants, at the behest of Donald Trump.

Those concessions got us nowhere.

The "milk thing" is a red herring. They can ship their milk here under some kind of quota system. That was ironed out the last time CUSMA was negotiated I believe.

Apparently the NHL playoff round one tickets for the games in Anaheim between them and the Oilers are not selling out because Oilers fans are refusing to travel to the US to attend them this year.

What happens in Alberta won’t stay in Alberta:

“This could end Canadian medicare …Alberta’s two-tier health-care scheme could spread to other provinces…[creating] a private, for-profit fast lane for what should be publicly insured care—and a slower, public lane for those who can’t afford to pay.”

It was spin.

"CBC News reached out to offices of the premiers from coast to coast to see how the provinces and territories book air travel. Most said the premiers use primarily commercial flights for official business, with private or chartered flights used only in special circumstances."

So the thuggery continues. What happens if we don't "pay to play"? Did Mexico have to "pay up"? I agree with Emmett's sentiments.

Opinion: Possible changes to Alberta’s electoral map put democracy at risk If the UCP fiddles with the map, it could guarantee a conservative supermajority for a generation

Alberta's 17th Premier @rachelnotley.bsky.social published an excellent op-ed in the Globe and Mail about how the UCP is putting democracy at risk with their attempt to rig the election.

It is well worth the read:

#ForeverCanadian will win the referendum despite the premier’s and foreign interference, despite foreign cash backing separatism, and despite Alberta Government constantly gerrymandering laws to favor separatists.

Why? Because we will spare no effort fighting for Canada🇨🇦
