Smith makes Albertans seem like whinny toddlers who can't get along with anyone and who are stomping their feet and holding their breath until we get our own way Personally, I want to be productive. I want to be cooperative. I want to be part of confederation

Of course. This is the plan. It’s not about infills! It’s about controlling municipal votes on maga data centres #ableg www.instagram.com/reel/DeXFop4...

BREAKING: UK Prime Minister Burnham now says Russia DID interfere in their Brexit vote. Canadians should pay attention. Foreign powers don't need to invade a country when they can inflame separatism and divide people. Canada's unity is now a national security issue. 🇨🇦🇬🇧

I’m not one who usually agrees with Kenney but I 100% agree with him on this. We need all Albertans to get out and Vote NO to the nine 9️⃣, and YES to stay in 🇨🇦

Trump’s big lie this morning unraveled FAST. Zelenskyy says the announcement was “NEWS TO ME.” Now a senior RUSSIAN lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal—and suggests Trump is making fake announcements to manipulate oil prices.

Should Danielle Smith be able to order your local council to vote to approve rezoning for a massive AI data centre? And threaten to fire your democratically elected mayor if they vote against it? This latest provincial overreach isn't about density. It's about your legal right to a fair hearing.

🧵 Carney and Zelenskyy discussed the new agreement between US and Russia to supply diesel to US. PM Carney was clear: this agreement is in direct opposition to the efforts of Ukraine, Canada, and our allies to create peace and stability in Europe.

At your local rink or in the Stanley Cup Final, you’ve seen Inglasco’s pucks on the ice. They’re the NHL’s exclusive puck supplier, and they’ve been based in Sherbrooke, Québec, for more than 50 years. So remember: behind every puck drop and every goal, is a little bit of Canada.

Prime Minister Carney visits a manufacturing facility in Sherbrooke, Québec.
