Foreign interference in Alberta's referendum is a serious matter impacting our sovereignty and should be debated in Canada's House of Commons. Why then is the Liberal Speaker not interested in this debate?

The fabled ancient cities weren't defeated because the enemy breached the walls but because of traitors on the inside. Collusion of the PQ and Alberta separatists as US military plans promote breaking our country from the inside must be taken seriously. charlieangus.substack.com/p/this-is-ho...

“Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province. Behind the cross-border effort to sway Alberta’s secession vote.” What’s the word for that?

Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

The Wuikinuxv Nation's roughly 11-week creek-walking season runs until late October. This year, crews are using it to map where water is disappearing, banks are washing away and salmon habitat has been lost — information that will help Wuikinuxv decide where future restoration money should go.

today's essential read for all Canadians. "the government’s huge subsidization of this project – up to 90 % of a $40B pipeline with ownership split evenly between Ottawa and Edmonton – lays bare a reality unfolding across the world economy: FFs aren’t just losing to clean energy. They’ve lost."
