The treaties are clear. The land was ceded to Canada. Remove the Crown and the land reverts back to First Nations. They cannot separate without their involvement. Period.

AEG Owner Phil Anschutz Is Still Donating to Causes Promoting Anti-LGBTQ Beliefs AEG owner Philip Anschutz donated $1,020,000 to two organizations that made public statements against LGBTQ people -- Colorado Christian University and the Sky Ranch Christian camping organization.

The owner of Coachella is a right-wing nationalist and gives lots of money to anti-LGBT organizations.

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

Pay attention to how Carney and Smith respond to this. I think it will be telling.

I take issue with the "unintentional" part... most of them know what they're saying is a lie or misleading and they do it for a living or monetary gain... IMO

Trump and Republicans are suddenly realizing that if they lose the House in November, Trump’s presidency is effectively over, and they know that this is likely to happen. Trump is panicking. We need to make this outcome a reality.

This is stupid. Really stupid. Throwing over a local chain to replace it with an American one is going to cost them. Just wait and see how much they lose on this. Idiots.

It has taken over five years of murderous chaos for Republican voters to start to see what was obvious all along: that Donald Trump should not be trusted with a box of matches, let alone the most powerful office on Earth. That's the power of propaganda for you.

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

In Manitoba, a paper preliminary inquiry (or a "paper committal") is a streamlined criminal proceeding where a judge determines if there is enough evidence to send a case to trial, relying solely on written documents, witness statements, and evidence provided by the Crown, rather than calling witnesses to testify in person. Purpose: The goal is to determine if the Crown has sufficient evidence for a trial, protecting the accused from an unnecessary, lengthy, or frivolous prosecution. Procedure: Often based on the "record" or written evidence, this process can reduce the time spent in court compared to a traditional "mixed committal" (where some witnesses are called). Legal Context: Preliminary inquiries are generally reserved for serious indictable offenses carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years or more. Manitoba Context: Under the Criminal Proceedings Rules of the Manitoba Court of King’s Bench, these proceedings are used to speed up the process and can be utilized to limit the scope of the inquiry. Outcome: If the judge is satisfied with the evidence, the accused is committed to stand trial. If not, the accused is discharged.

This is what a paper prelim means. The entirety is based on police officers' notes and reports. I've compiled them and know that there is just no way any AI generated content will be deemed acceptable by any Canadian court.

The pitfalls of increased use of AI in policing CHRISTOPHER J. SCHNEIDER AS a part of its body-worn camera program, the RCMP recently completed a pilot project using artificial intelligence to draft reports. The AI-generated reports are created from audio captured from officers’ body cameras. A report can be drafted in mere seconds. The pilot, which ran for about six months and concluded in January, occurred across eight detachments in British Columbia generating nearly 800 reports. Harnessing AI to write police reports is replete with some serious and unresolved concerns and must be immediately discontinued. It isn’t even entirely clear why police need to use AI in the first place. The primary justification for the expanding use of AI to generate police reports across law enforcement is to free police from the administrative burden of having to write reports in the first place. The idea is that officers could do more relevant police work, presumably patrol work. The majority of police work is dull, often punctuated by hours of inactivity and sedentary behaviour that already include tasks such as patrol work and traffic duty. While there is some evidence that increasing preventative patrols can reduce crime, a stronger rationale would have to be made for relieving police from the task of report writing. Have calls for service suddenly become so onerous that police are no longer able to engage in routine patrolling? To the contrary, evidence reveals that calls to RCMP in some jurisdictions declined in 2025. The significance of writing reports has arguably never been more important because of delays in case processing, with officers sometimes testifying in court months or years later. The report is the written record of the event and officers rely on these notes to recall important details in their testimony — a failure to accurately recall the incident can lead to charges of perjury or obstruction of justice, and can lead to unjust outcomes. Thus, report writ…

Nothing will ever take the place of officer's handwritten notes and their reports. What the body camera "hears" is not what it "sees". The only way to get real observations are through the eyes of the officers. This also hampers paper prelims which the feds had been moving towards when I retired.

Reminder that Louisiana does NOT have universal background checks or red flag laws.

The state DOES have the site of the most recent mass shooting that stole the lives of eight young kids. Louisiana leaders must act now to pass the laws proven to save lives.

The only appropriate way to respond to a world in which liars are routinely championed and unpunished is with an unfailing, instinctive skepticism. Lies are not random, they are told for a reason, and always at someone's expense.

Don't assume the worst... except of those who take no accountability.

It's all right in front of people if they care to even look. He did a great job of summarising some of my reasons for fearing for what future I still have.

Similarly, failing to call out Alberta’s violations of the Canada Health Act - which is very much a part of his job - offers passive support, but by continuing health transfers to Alberta without any strings attached while they violate the act, he effectively actively enables those violations. 20/

Carney wants to pretend Canada’s uninvolved with Middle Eastern war crimes, but he doesn’t just make public statements in support of those crimes, he also allows arms shipments from Canada to Israel for use in their war crimes to continue. That’s active complicity. 19/

No LNG going through Churchill will mean no federal funding. That means he's trying to push the Indigenous and community ownership groups that make up Arctic Gateway to do something that may jeopardise all they have.

Rob Shaw: Carney delivers three-hour crash course on blindsiding Eby over pipeline Prime minister assures B.C. pipeline deal wasn’t done, only for agreement with Alberta to surface before premier got back to his desk

Astonishingly, PM Carney even lied openly to the Premier of BC that any such discussions were “far from done” only a few hours before the MOU was announced.

"Nation building" isn't about lying to premiers about a deal that you've already made. 15/
