As I see it, the unifying global trend is the deluge of digital distractions which are eroding people’s capacity to focus and think for extended periods of time, making strict structures and proven methods especially important for education. Full piece here: www.ft.com/content/a801...

This Conservative MP wants to tell everyone that he's on Team Canada -- and that the real problems his constituents face are a) government, b) people who think like Liberals, and c) Ontario. Me thinks the messaging still might need some work.

If Poilievre can’t stand up to a backbencher MP who is running amok and making a fool of Poilievre on an international stage, how the hell does anyone think he could stand up to Trump? A leader who can’t control his own messy caucus doesn’t have the gravitas to deal with a hostile USA admin.

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

Two-tier health care, in violation of the Canada Health Act, is now a reality in Alberta. You can pay your surgeon to jump the public wait list and get your surgery ahead of everyone else. Instead of fixing public health care, Danielle Smith is destroying it. #ableg #abpoli
Hello,

You are receiving this message because you are currently on the publicly funded cataract surgery waitlist at Mitchell Eye Centre.

We are writing to share an informational update regarding a recent change to Alberta’s health care rules that may provide an additional option for some patients awaiting cataract surgery.

For more information, you can review the Government of Alberta’s overview here:
As a result of this change, some patients may now choose to pay privately for cataract surgery rather than remaining on the public waitlist. This option is entirely voluntary. Your place on the publicly funded waitlist does not change unless you choose to pursue private surgery.

This information is being shared so that patients are aware of all available options.

If you would like information about privately funded cataract surgery, please contact our surgical coordinator directly:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once contacted, our team will follow up to provide information and answer any questions you may have.

If you prefer to remain on the publicly funded waitlist, no action is required at this time.

Thank you for your patience while awaiting care, and for trusting Mitchell Eye Centre with your eye care.

Sincerely,
Mitchell Eye Centre

Let’s call a spade, a spade. In fueling disinformation Pr Smith aided & abetted the separatist movement in Alta. Whether it’s a play for power, or genuine belief in pursuing separation, Pr Smith can be judged to be one: “To Smith, I suppose, this litany www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/02/o...

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist
Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story — one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.
