3 UCP legislature committee members forced a vote through to deny me, the proponent of #ForeverAlberta petition, Alberta’s largest ever petition, to appear before the committee and speak on behalf of the nearly 500,000 Albertans.

This is another move to assist the separatists.

Some real chowerheads in Canada have been spreading the idea that Mexico is on the cusp of getting some mythical tariff-free side deal with Trump, insisting that Ottawa needs to go cap-in-hand to avoid getting left out.

Pierre Poilievre is picking a fight he can't win The Conservative Party of Canada is apparently spoiling for a fight over who is more trusted on economics with the only prime minister to ever serve as governor of two different central banks. Good lu...

Pierre Poilievre keeps trying to challenge Mark Carney on his economic credentials.

Of all the dumb fights Pierre Poilievre has picked over the course of his career, this might be the dumbest one yet. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/20/o...

Andrew Scheer: 
Carney keeps recycling the same speech over and over while he drives up prices and taxes. 

Meanwhile, Pierre has a real plan to unlock our resources, strengthen our country, and bring inflation down. 

This is worth watching 👇

Quoting Pierre Poilievre:
Prime Minister, enough speeches and theatre. It's time for results at home.

My dude, your leader has been recycling the same speech for two-and-a-half years now, insisting he's going to double-down on trickle-down economics.
Also, inflation is within the target range. If you bring it down further, you're going to stall economic growth. FFS.

Just The Facts: Inflation is the Cost of Carney

April 20, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, ON – In December 2020, right before Canadians were hit with the worst inflation in four decades, Mark Carney predicted that inflation was  “unlikely to materialize to a serious extent.” Now, after a year as Prime Minister, inflation has again surged out of control with the largest one-month increase in over a year.

Overall inflation rose to 2.4 per cent in March, up from 1.8 per cent the month before. That includes a massive surge in the price of gas, which increased 21.2 per cent on a monthly basis, as Canadians continue to pay 15.6 per cent more at the pump compared to the US.

That means higher costs at the grocery store, with prices rising 4.4 per cent year-over-year, up from 4.1 per cent in February. Canadians with fresh vegetables on their shopping list were hit the hardest with prices increasing 7.8 per cent, the biggest increase since August of 2023.

All of this adds up to the highest food price inflation in the G7 for the fourth month in a row, proving that higher inflation continues to be a made-in-Canada problem. Money-printing deficits inflate the cost of everything, while Liberal taxes on food and gas increase costs even more, giving us the worst household debt in the G7.

Canadians were told to judge Carney by the costs at the grocery store, and since then, prices have only continued to soar. Canadians can’t feed themselves on illusory promises or run their cars on empty rhetoric; we need results that bring down the cost of government to bring down the cost of living.

I just can't with Ford playing the victim here.
1) You're a fucking premier. Of course your moves are being scrutinized!
2) Premiers get away with murder (or negligent homicide at the very least). You get so much less scrutiny than is actually warranted. Just stop.

I just keep thinking about this. Ford loves to pound people to shit and strut across their political bodies. All the name calling. The Lefties. Socialists. Cyclists. Gravy eaters.

But he whines like a high maintenance nepo when something doesn't go his way.

I was 13 when I met him at the Oshawa Centre that year. I waited for what seemed like forever and got to shake his hand. The next time I met him was in an elevator at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa in 1978, the year after I ran for the Liberals provincially (and lost). He had an impact then & now.

I have to disagree with Dougie on this one. Buying a business jet for the Premier, mismanaging health care, blocking access to information, privatizing water ... maybe those quality instead. (For starters!)

A broad, still expanse of water fills the foreground, so clear that the lakebed—small rounded stones in muted grays and browns—shows through beneath a thin veil of reflected sky. The surface is nearly motionless, acting as a mirror for the dawn above.

At the horizon, the lake narrows into a distant valley framed by layered mountain ridges. The mountains rise on both sides in dark, cool silhouettes—deep blue to charcoal—softened by early light and atmospheric haze. On the left, a dense forest of conifers forms a continuous, shadowed edge that slopes gently into the water; on the right, the mountain face is steeper, its contours more pronounced but still subdued in the low light.

The sky is the focal point. A scattered field of mid-level clouds stretches across it, each cloud catching the first light of sunrise. Colors transition from pale gold and peach near the horizon to cooler blues and soft grays higher up. The brightest band sits just above the distant valley, where the sun—still hidden—pushes a warm glow outward, illuminating the undersides of the clouds.

This light is duplicated almost perfectly in the lake’s reflection, forming a symmetrical composition: sky above, sky below, divided by a thin, horizontal line of brighter water near the center. The reflection is slightly softened by faint ripples, but remains remarkably crisp.
