Someone threw a beer at Trump at one of his rallies. It's okay; It was draft beer, so... He dodged it.

Opinion: We must call Alberta separation what it is
It is not a movement of grievance politics. Something far more sinister is at work

My entire family (like almost every Canadian) were at one point immigrants. Some came over 8 generations ago, some 2. This article touched me as it talks about the real personal gains we get from immigration. This is Ontario, but that is Canada no less than Alberta. Say NO to the 9.

This article brings up the very important point that democracy REQUIRES "the people" to be involved. GOP ignores that and thinks that involvement = hats and slogans. Until this changes, the US will continue to slide away from a true republic and into chaos. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/o...

Typical UCP process. Use a bad solution to address a serious problem, and then make everything worse with your "solution" so that in the end outcomes are worse and no one is happy. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Opinion: Albertans can now buy their own medical imaging scans — but then what?
A medical test is only as good as the care that comes with it. Alberta’s policy removes doctors from the decision to order testing.

The last time 10 Yr US Treasuries were this high was in Jan 2002. And they are strongly trending higher. Why? The bond market (the world) is loosing faith in the US economy and government. This *can* be reversed but it will take some serious and politically difficult changes which the US will not do

So I've done the mail in vote for the AB referendum. I hear that 620,000 people have asked for a mail in ballot. In the 2023 provincial election 1,760,605 votes were cast = > than 1/3 (35%) of the total votes in the last election have asked for a mail in ballot. Indicates a very high turnout.

A side-by-side meme comparing two political PSAs. On the left, under the year '1987', a messy fried egg sizzles in a black pan with the text 'DRUG PSA: This is your brain on drugs.' On the right, under the year '2026', a neat, perfectly round fried egg sits on a white background with the text 'REFERENDUM PSA: This is your brain after reading the questions.' Below both images, large text reads: 'Just vote option 1 to stay in Canada & NO to the NINE other questions.
