Honestly, fuck off with this revisionist history. Trudeau and Guilbeault didn't cause the world price of oil to crash in 2014. They did nothing to "shut in" Alberta's resources. Trudeau offered help to Alberta in 2015 when Harper didn't. www.readtheline.ca/p/jim-dinnin...
So, when the Trudeau–Guilbeault government took a wrecking ball to Canada’s resource economy, Albertans didn’t stay quiet. We sounded the alarm because we knew exactly what was at stake: jobs, investment, competitiveness, and the prosperity of Canadian families. While allied nations were asking Canada to help secure their energy needs, Ottawa was tying Alberta’s hands behind its back. And when capital fled the country, Albertans were stunned by the complacency elsewhere. The math wasn’t complicated: if Alberta is forced to shrink, Canada will shrink with it.

Canada has lost a great fighter for justice and democracy. Irene Mathyssen has gone to the angels. I had the honour to serve with her in parliament. She was a tireless advocate for people. I loved Irene and her beautiful family. She worked to make Canada a better place. She is with the angels.

We need to talk about the separatists selling out our city and province. MAGA operatives came to Calgary to help carve up our country. Meanwhile, separatist leaders went to Washington promising our water, our oil, and our land. If you want to live in the United States, move to the United States.

If Canada gives up the ability to regulate digital platforms in the name of regulatory "alignment" with the United States, in exchange for lowering tariffs on steel, aluminum and automobiles, it's difficult to overstate how much of a catastrophic defeat that would be for us.

Pierre Poilievre is no longer the leader of the CPC according to Parliamentary rules and must vacate Stornaway immediately. #Cdnmedia should have known that, and reporting on a “debate” on that is irresponsible. Does he need help packing? Stop gaslighting everyone and breaking the rules for him.

I keep reading takes from conservatives blaming the long ballot (91 candidates) in Carleton for Poilievre losing his seat. None explain why this wasn’t also a problem for Fanjoy. The riding seems to have experience near-zero vote splitting (independents got about 500 votes), so I’m not buying it.
