What would be far better for home owners and the national energy grid would be solar. But this government is determined to keep us paying for their projects.

This is a good day to ponder what an amazing deal B.C. residents have enjoyed thanks to public auto insurance. Avg nominal premiums are no higher than 9 years ago when J.Horgan was elected Premier, vs 45% avg increase in Canada and 119% in next-door Alberta. Data from StatsCan. #bcpoli

Bwahahahah - Pearson/Trudeau Sr. brought us Health Care, OAP, CPP and more social services ( because of NDP pressure) and Neoliberal Carney is brining us more corporate owned fossil fuel projects paid by taxpayers. Perhaps read a history book or two rather than spout current Liberal propaganda.

Canadian cops are 2nd in murdering it's citizens when compared to other wealthy nations - and we keep giving cops more money and get less justice for their criminal behaviour. One reason might be because of extensive Israeli training. #cdnpoli #canada

Fighting foreign interference should be a core Canadian national security priority. But if even being at a conference where the United States is named -- accurately -- as a foreign interference actor is a bridge too far for this government, then they've already conceded the game.

How Canada could defend itself against an American invasion
Beyond Donald Trump’s anti-Canada rhetoric, there are many material and geo-strategic reasons why Canada must take his threats to Canadian sovereignty very seriously.
