Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .

www.ctvnews.ca/calga... Anybody think about who's going to work in our meat processing plants down in Brooks when the govt implements its genius TFW tax of $1900? Do we think Canadian teens are going to take on those jobs? Did the UCP govt even ask employers for their input?

What would charging temporary residents for health care and education mean for Alberta?
When Albertans vote in the province’s referendum this fall, they will be asked whether people legally living and working in Alberta without permanent resident status should pay extra to use two of the province’s most important public services.

This is the first UCP MLA to say the quiet part out loud, but, Smith won’t admit it’s a problem, she agrees with him. They don’t really like when you call his office and call him a traitor. I know, I did 🥰 Give it a shot or send him some love emails. #Alberta #Referendum #Canada #RedDeer

This fake Christian doesn’t quote the words of Jesus once. “Jesus said love God & others as yourself. Look after the poor, the widows & the orphans! Blessed are the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful & the peacemakers. Judge not lest ye be judged.” He has probably never even read the gospels!

Most of the word count in this op-ed was consumed by Harper re-hashing grievances with the Trudeau government and its supposedly nefarious intentions for the oil and gas industry -- and, as Jason says, completely misrepresenting the level of support for separatism when he was in office.
