West Coast Lad in the Maritimes

Not surprising, although disappointing, that both AB and QC Premiers couldnt find the time to attend. Pretty much sums up their perspective of the First Nations. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/7c9d032...

On this day in 1813, the Battle of Chateauguay was fought near present-day Ormstown, Quebec. A combined force of British, Canadian and Mohawk repelled an American force who were attempting to invade Lower Canada. 🎨 Henri Julien

Hahahahaha. That is so Canadian.

Taking a break from politics for the moment: Paramount announced it's planning to make an adaptation of the Red Rising series, my favourite Sci-Fi books of all time.

Coming to this one late, but it's a good one for a background into the differences between Canadian and US military culture. blackcloudsix.substack.com/p/my-drift-i...

They're such a bunch of hypocritical cunts. Can we get rid of that asshat, now? ca.usembassy.gov/fact-sheet-m...

Canadians want to prioritize clean energy over fossil fuels, Carney government told in internal report New public opinion research commissioned by federal government shows a majority of Canadians want to see Canada become a clean energy superpower

Good one from Jen. Worth a read. open.substack.com/pub/theline/...

The 22 mins had this sketch cooking for a while right? They even knew Alberta wouldn't vote to leave Canada. 😂😂😂

No to the Nine resonated pretty strongly in Alberta's two big cities. Different story outside them. The urban/rural/small cities split remains a feature of our province.

For those who have questions about the Wainwright tragedy, this is an excellent backgrounder.

When are we going to stop taking these fringe nutjobs seriously? Anyone who is spouting complaints about 'DEI' is just telling you they're a fucking racist, misogynistic, tin foil hat wearing hoser.

Everytime I've been involved in a situation that was newsworthy, the media got it wrong. In zone cases, they made shit up, or riffed off factual statements. This Wx situation has demonstrated this hasn't changed.

Ok, CBC news are speculating the hell out of this incident in WX. The details will come out. Oh wait, now they've got McKay on for his thoughts. Scraping the bottom of the barrel, by's.

Been there, done that. Hits hard given the tragedy that took place yesterday.

On this day in 2017, Gord Downie died. Born in 1964, he was the singer and lyricist for The Tragically Hip from 1984 until his death. Considered a Canadian icon, he was involved in environmental and Indigenous activism later in life. 📸 Richard Beland

If you missed the #ForeverCanadian rally, here it is: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol... #ableg #cdnpoli

So... Nothing about health care, affordability, sovereignty, inflation, housing... Just identify politics. What a bunch of conservative red meat bullshit.

Proud of the people resisting the removal of bike lanes. If only the 'resistance' in the US had the same courage and determination.

Calgary, come join me, Thomas Lukaszuk, and Prime Minister Mark Carney TONIGHT at the BMO Centre for the Forever Canadian rally! You don't have to choose between loving Alberta and loving Canada. Let's celebrate both! Doors open at 5pm. Free registration: www.forever-canadian.ca/en/rally

If there’s one photo to sum up the Trump era, this is it.

Trump's never had an original idea. He just riffs on shit he hears. There's a part of the US elite that has always wanted this. Trump says Canada will become 51st state ‘because that’s the only way it works’ www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

Another day muting and blocking angry zealots.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

NEW: @thewalrus.ca has published an excerpt from Dark Phoenix, which hits shelves today! thewalrus.ca/danielle-smi...

C'mon, Keith. *How* did Norway turn its oil reserves into "extraordinary national wealth"? *Public ownership of oil companies *78 per cent profit tax on oil companies *25 per cent sales tax economy-wide so the oil revenues could be saved These are not serious people. #abpoli

Good that it's down. But it begs the question: who are the assholes still going to Vegas? Canadians are still boycotting... www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...

I am not surprised to hear Nutlick or any of the other MAGA Nazi cosplayers would threaten invasion. That seems to be their stock response when faced with resistance.

Well done!

Should Danielle Smith be able to order your local council to vote to approve rezoning for a massive AI data centre? And threaten to fire your democratically elected mayor if they vote against it? This latest provincial overreach isn't about density. It's about your legal right to a fair hearing.

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

I was sure this was a fake post.

Good to see Donald buy Russian diesel instead of Canadian. I know its right on USA border but they sell imperialist, woke diesel that makes your truck gay.

Hahahahahaha. These fuckers are so goddamn stupid.

Good article. Separatists couldn't care less about democracy. Just getting what they want, the petulant wankers.

Six months ago:

Every month, my wife buys a good bottle of champagne to stock up for the eventual party we'll have when Trump kicks the bucket.

Any nation that live streams executions is a shithole country.

Alberta's most recent former environment minister now works for....an oil and gas company. Mais bien sur.

Carrie Tait on Alberta separatists calling her story fiction: "Considering that there was somebody saying it with their name on the record, it's a little bit hard to reel that back."
