"Trump’s actual purpose was plainly not to increase US diesel supplies, or otherwise lower prices, but rather to make clear his intention to definitively change sides & become Russia’s wartime ally — & to undermine the sanctions regime against Russia the US worked so hard to implement over 5 years."

Few, if any, Canadian commentators are as adept at debunking the Alberta perpetual grievance complex as Max
The separatists are going to lose today’s vote. But if Alberta’s political class doesn’t stop feeding and inflaming their bottomless sense of grievance and victimhood, we’ll all end up losing in the end. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/19/o...

This is what I tell people from outside of Alberta: you notice how these people have failed after all this time to produce a single presentable standard-bearer? It’s because they have nobody presentable—this is not a broad-based movement. It is a congregation of our most egregious kooks.

One of the worst consequences of this referendum is that conspiracy addled maniacs who most people would ignore and actively avoid are platformed and made to feel important, further perpetuating their fantasies and grievance-fueled delusions.

Electoral Reform is absolutely key to preserving democratic institutions in the age of misinformation and AI.
Great CBC article on how first-past-the-post has distorted Quebec's democracy. The PQ, QS, and PCQ all committed to electoral reform during the election campaign. Now is the time to make that happen. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

Thank you Robert for sending me this wonderful display for my office. Robert designs and makes these Proudly Canadian displays in his Toronto workshop. You can find this and other designs at his website 👇 greatnorthgear.ca
This…this…a thousand times this!
A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

Continuing what I started with more effort than ever.
In light of everything happening with Trump and the ongoing trade tensions, I’m making a conscious effort to BUY CANADIAN. But sometimes it’s not always obvious what products, brands and services are actually Canadian. So let’s help each other out. Drop your recommendations in the comments!
